We carry all manner of sensual barriers. Safer sex can be fuuunnnn...

Please note: While manufacturers can be somewhat cagey about their specific formulas, most lubricated condoms do use some sort of silicone-based lube. If you're sensitive to silicone lube (or just don't like it), you may want to stay away from lubricated condoms. And if you're using condoms on your dildos (a great idea, by the way, both for easy cleanup and safer sex), be aware that silicone lube can damage silicone sex toys, so non-lubricated condoms are probably a better choice.

About glove sizes...

The measurement you want to take is from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger. Then, you can use the following chart:

6" to 6-1/2", small
7" to 7-1/2", medium
8" to 8-1/2", large
9" or larger, extra-large

	Avanti Bare Condoms Blowfish is pleased to carry the Avanti Bare Condoms, the polyisoprene (non-latex!) condom from Durex. These are strong, protects against STIs, and are thinner and transmits more sensation than any other condom we've tried. For those who were familiar with our old Avanti condoms, you should know that these should not be used with oil-based lubricants. However, the polyisoprene that these new Avanti Bare condoms are made out of is "softer and better feeling" than the old polyurethane material. It also has more stretch to it, so they're more of a standard condom size (nominal width: 54mm) and more likely to fit a wider range of men. Our testers agree that it's the closest thing to bare skin they've ever felt in a condom. Please note: All condoms are subject to occasional breakage even if you've never had one break before. The chance of breakage of any condom, and Avanti Bare in particular, can be reduced by carefully "bleeding" any trapped air from the condom before penetration. We advise everyone to follow the manufacturer's directions and pay close attention to the condition of all condoms throughout their use during penetration. item +S-DRX-1102-03, 3-pack: `$3.95` item +S-DRX-1102-12, 12-pack: `$14.95` item +S-DRX-1102-24, 24-pack: `$22.95` `s-drx-1102`

	Birds 'N Bees Vegan Latex Condoms 3-Pack Meet our first vegan condom! Imported from Sweden, the company that makes the Birds 'N Bees Vegan Latex Condoms 3-Pack does not use any animal byproducts in the manufacturing or testing of their condoms. This means that these do not contain casein, a dairy byproduct used in most other condoms, making these very vegan-friendly indeed! So, how do they work? Well, they're textured, so from the receiver's point of view, there's a bit of extra stimulation (not as much as some other textured condoms we've tried, however; these don't overpower you with over-zealous bumps). We have to admit, however, that these do feel a bit thicker than your average condom. Now, we're ones to look on the bright side here, and must point out to you that this means that it might take him longer to come wearing these — if you or your partner wants to last a little longer, but have trouble not getting caught up in the moment, these might just be the answer! Even if he's usually very good at waiting until the right moment, our male tester noted that he could go longer without having to resort to thinking about Danny DeVito, which was a refreshing change for him as well! Friendly to our animal friends and friendly to our multiply-orgasmic partners, the Birds 'N Bees Vegan Latex Condoms are just the thing for spring! item +S-RFS-1105: `$7.95` `s-rfs-1105`

	Black Dragon Latex Gloves When we saw these latex gloves a collective "OOOO!" went up around the Blowfish office. Never ones to carry plain old boring latex, the gloves are quite a titillating shade of dusky black. Useful for all those messy situations that life throws in your path including, but not limited to, fisting, wrestling in pudding, and digging around in your garden. These medical grade non-sterile gloves are powder-free. We carry these gloves in three different sizes (S,M,L) in attractive boxes of 100. Please remember that latex should not be used with oil-based lubricants or other oil-based products. item +S-GLG-1028-S, small: `$15.95` item +S-GLG-1028-M, medium: `$15.95` item +S-GLG-1028-L, large: `$15.95` `s-glg-1028`

	Durex Condoms, Unlubed Finally, just what you asked for; a really boring condom. No ribs or nubbins (although it does have a reservoir tip), no exotic flavors or lubricants. Nothing but latex, in fact. So, why would you want a condom like this? Well, they work really excellently for all your silicone and mystery material toys. You don't have to worry about weird lube interactions that will break them down. It makes clean-up easy and sharing your toys a snap! Please note: All condoms are subject to occasional breakage even if you've never had one break before. We advise everyone to follow the manufacturer's directions and pay close attention to the condition of all condoms throughout their use during penetration. item +S-DRX-1065-50, set of 50: `$17.95` `s-drx-1065`

	Nitrile Black Dragon Gloves Now you can have the powder-free, latex-free luxury of Nitrile in a color other than purple! Not only are these Nitrile Black Dragon Gloves a sultry shade of black, but they are also available in a size Extra-large (a godsend for those of us with hands too large for the Purple Nitrile Gloves), as well as all the usual sizes. Nitrile is a synthetic alternative to latex, with many advantages, including being stronger, thinner (which means more sensation!), and compatible with oil-based lubricants. It contains no natural rubber proteins to distress those allergic to latex. The fingertips have a very subtle texture to them that helps with grip without being rough on sensitive parts. We've found nothing better in a latex substitute. We carry these in four sizes: Small, Medium, Large and Extra-large. They come in boxes of 100 (all one size). One size definitely does not fit all, so please keep that in mind. Since Nitrile is less stretchy than latex, if you usually wear your latex pretty snug we suggest that you order these Nitrile Gloves one size larger than you normally would. item +S-GLG-1086-S, small: `$19.95` item +S-GLG-1086-M, medium: `$19.95` item +S-GLG-1086-L, large: `$19.95` item +S-GLG-1086-XL, extra-large: `$19.95` `s-glg-1086`

	Paradise Flavored / Colored Condoms, Water-Based Lube Paradise Flavored / Colored Condoms condoms are average-size, latex condoms with a straight shaft. What's special about them, however, is that they're flavored, scented, and colored. For those of you who want to use latex condoms but hate the taste, these just might be your answer! They work particularly well for giving a blowjob with a condom (as long as you've learned how to avoid being gagged by the reservoir tip!). A very mild amount of the flavor also rubs off on the parts it's been touching, so oral sex after the condom has been removed tastes much nicer than the lingering flavor you get from other latex condoms. They're pretty inexpensive, too, if you're looking for a basic cheap condom to use on dildos and other sex toys. These are lubricated with a water-based formula, so they are safe to use with your silicone sex toys, as well as toys made from other materials. These come in a Dozen of all the same flavor. Please be sure to specify which flavor you want. Please note: All condoms are subject to occasional breakage even if you've never had one break before. We advise everyone to follow the manufacturer's directions and pay close attention to the condition of all condoms throughout their use during penetration. Available in the following: mint (green) (-MT) vanilla (blue) (-VN) item +S-PMS-1068-12S, dozen (all same flavor): `$5.95` `s-pms-1068`

	Pleasure Plus Condoms These latex condoms are designed with a "pouch" — a looser area located just below the head of the penis (be sure you put them on right-side-up!). The shaft is a standard snug-all-around design. Our testing couple agreed that the sliding action of the pouch (and possibly the tiny inside ribs) helped add to his sensation, and this is a huge improvement over the dulling nature of other condoms! Some people try using larger size condoms to achieve similar friction, but run an increased risk of having the condom slip off; these condoms avoid that risk while restoring stimulation to the most sensitive area of the penis. If you're looking for improved feeling while using a condom, give the Pleasure Plus a try — many men who thought they hated condoms have been converted by these. Lubricated. Please note: All condoms are subject to occasional breakage even if you've never had one break before. We advise everyone to follow the manufacturer's directions and pay close attention to the condition of all condoms throughout their use during penetration. Some of these packages come with a seal marked "tamper evident seal." These "seals," if present, are extremely flimsy, and can come undone in the normal shipping process. All of these packages arrived directly from the distributor, and have not been opened, regardless of the state of the so-called "seal." Please contact us if you have any questions. item +S-GLP-1044-03, 3-pack: `$6.95` `s-glp-1044`
