Flavored Condoms

Flavored condoms combine safe sex with taste. The condom shaft is coated with food-grade flavoring—fruit, mint, or candy varieties—that dissolves on the tongue during oral sex. The flavoring masks the taste of latex or polyurethane, making oral sex more enjoyable for the receiving partner. They work like standard condoms for penetration but are specifically designed for blow jobs.

Why Choose Flavored Condoms

1. Improves Oral Sex Comfort: The flavoring masks the taste and smell of latex or rubber, making oral sex less unpleasant for the receiving partner. Most people find the taste of condoms unpleasant; flavoring makes the experience more enjoyable.
2. Maintains Full Protection: Flavored condoms provide the same contraceptive and STI protection as regular condoms when used correctly. You don't sacrifice safety for better taste—both happen together.
3. Encourages Safer Sex Practices: Some people avoid oral sex with condoms because of the taste. Flavored options remove that barrier, making people more likely to use protection during oral sex.

Types of Flavored Condoms

Fruit-Flavored Condoms

Cherry, strawberry, banana, and tropical fruit flavors are the most common options. The sweetness of fruit flavoring is strong enough to mask latex taste while remaining pleasant. These work for oral sex on any penis. Fruit flavors appeal to people who prefer sweet tastes over minty sensations. Available in both latex and non-latex materials for people with latex allergies.

Mint and Menthol Condoms

Mint flavoring provides a cooling sensation that some people find refreshing. The menthol tingles slightly on the tongue and lips, adding a secondary sensation beyond the flavor itself. Mint works well for oral sex and appeals to people who prefer fresh, clean tastes to sweet ones. The cooling effect can feel intense to some users, so first-timers should test the sensation before extended use.

Candy-Flavored Condoms

Bubblegum, chocolate, caramel, and other dessert flavors appeal to people who want strong sweetness. These provide more pronounced flavor than subtle fruit options, completely masking the condom taste. Candy flavors tend to be the most effective at encouraging oral sex in people who normally avoid it due to condom taste. Popular with younger users and those who enjoy pronounced sweetness.

Unflavored Condoms With Flavoring Lubricant

Some come with a flavored lubricant applied to the surface rather than flavoring in the material itself. The flavor coats the outside of the condom but washes away as saliva mixes with it. These provide initial strong flavor that gradually fades during oral sex. Good for people who want concentrated taste upfront without lingering sweetness throughout.

Who Buys Flavored Condoms

People who perform oral sex regularly: Repeated exposure to condom taste and texture discourages frequent blow jobs. Flavored condoms make the experience pleasurable enough to do regularly without the unpleasant taste making them want to stop. People often report being more enthusiastic about oral sex when flavoring is involved.

Couples establishing condom use: Some people refuse to use condoms during oral sex because they dislike the taste so strongly. Introducing a flavored option removes that objection, making safer sex practices more acceptable. This is especially important for couples starting to use condoms or exploring safer sex options.

Choosing Flavored Condoms

• Flavor Preference: Start by deciding whether you prefer sweet (fruit, candy) or fresh (mint, menthol) flavors. Personal taste preference makes the biggest difference in whether you'll actually use the condom. Sample a few brands to find your preference.
• Latex Allergies: Check the material. Standard condoms are latex, but polyurethane and polyisoprene options exist for people with latex sensitivities. Flavored versions exist in all materials, though availability varies by flavor.
• Lubrication Level: Flavored condoms often come with extra lubrication to enhance the oral sex experience. Check the lubrication level—some people find heavily lubricated condoms slippery, while others prefer the additional glide.
• Thickness and Sensitivity: Standard thickness condoms work fine for oral sex. Thinner varieties exist if you prefer increased sensation, though thickness makes minimal difference during oral contact compared to penetration.
• Size Fit: Flavored condoms come in standard sizes (53mm, 56mm, 59mm). Proper fit prevents slipping and breakage. If you don't know your size, measure the width of an erect penis and choose accordingly.

Looking After Your Flavored Condoms

Flavored condoms require no special care beyond standard condom storage. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat—excessive warmth degrades the latex or polyurethane material. Store away from sharp objects, rough surfaces, and anything that could puncture the wrapper. Check the expiration date before use; condoms degrade over time and lose effectiveness. Once you open a condom, use it immediately—exposure to air dries out the lubrication. Never reuse a condom. After sex, dispose of it in the bin (not the toilet, as condoms don't break down in water systems).

Goes Well With

Water-Based Lubricants

Extra lubrication makes oral sex more comfortable and reduces friction that can degrade the condom material. Water-based lube is compatible with all condom types and washes away easily with water. Some people add lube to enhance the sensation or if the condom's built-in lubrication feels insufficient. Browse water-based lubricants to complement your condom choice.
