Male Barriers
Over the counter options
Did you know that condoms remain one of the most effective non-prescription options for preventing both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Ultra-thin and sensitive designs provide a more natural feel, while non-latex options like SKYN® are excellent for those with allergies.
Condoms with spermicide offer added pregnancy prevention, but may not be suitable for everyone due to irritation risk.
For best protection, use a new condom every time, check expiration dates, and store them away from heat and sunlight.
