Do condoms protect against all std's ?What is the difference between latex condoms and other forms of condoms?
When used PROPERLY, latex, and polyurethane condoms protect against all STDs except for crabs, and are about 99.99% effective. This makes condoms the most effective, and most comprehensive sexual protection device around, aside from abstinence.





To use your condom properly, you must ensure that it has not passed it's expiration date, that the package is not damaged, and that it has not been stored in a hot area, such as a car, or window sill.





Most condoms come with some lubrication. If you add more, make sure that you are not using an oil based lubricant (such as vaseline, or baby oil) on a latex condom.





Be sure to pinch off the little thing at the top to store your juices, put it on facing the right way, roll it all the way down your joystick, and ensure that it remains on throughout play. If at any time you remove yourself from your woman's body, be sure to grab the condom before pulling out. Otherwise the condom may slip off.





Latex condoms are made of a ';natural'; form of rubber. Polyurethane condoms are made of a slightly stiffer synthetic material. Latex stretches more, so finding the right ';size'; is not much of a problem, but oil based lubricants can eat little holes in it, and will make latex into swiss cheese. Some people are also allergic to Latex, and if you intend to engage in oral sex, the latex tends to taste bad.





Polyurethane condoms can use more types of lubricants, including one that helps to protect against AIDS, but they are not as stretchy, so a good fit can be hard to get, and research has not shown much significant AIDS prevention with the fancy lubricant. Nobody is allergic to polyurethane, and it rarely has any flavor, Polyurethane can also be made thinner, for more sensation, but it costs a bit more. You may get what you pay for though.





People with latex allergies sometimes get a sheep skin condom to separate them from the other condom. On their own, sheep skin condoms provide only slight protection against pregnancy, and little to no protection against STDs. They are also rather thick, and can significantly reduce pleasurable sensations. Finding them nowadays can be very difficult, as the polyurethane condoms are better in every way I can think of.





Some makers sell condoms in different sizes, but unless you're the kind of guy that can make your own XXX movies, you should probably stick to regular size, instead of ';magnum.'; Oddly, nobody sells ones labeled as small. I've heard that lifestyle latex condoms are usually not that great in quality. When I was in the Navy, we would buy a box of 2,750 of these for about $23.00, and there were a lot of complaints about them breaking. Most people consider Trojan to be a good brand name, though some argue that they slip off easily. Different companies may make different sizes...





Women can get polyurethane condoms that fit them, but a lot of people think these are just too weird to use. They're also about ten times as expensive as condoms for men, and are supposed to stick out of the woman. If they get pushed inside her, they are as useless as a male condom that gets sucked off during use.





Aside from the sheep skin condoms, yo should not ';double bag with more than one condom, or use a male and female condom together. However, uou can use condoms with other forms of contraceptives. Women can use pills, IUDs, sponges, diaphragms, all kinds of spermicidal chemicals, and ';natural contraception'; along with the condom. Permanent sterilization is also an option. Since ';proper'; use doesn't always work out in the real world, additional contraception is a good idea. Some of these devices and methods can help reduce the risk of some STDs, and there's nothing wrong with some added protection.What is the difference between latex condoms and other forms of condoms?
No, not all condoms protect against STD's. Lambskin will prevent pregnancy but that's it. Other condoms, like mylar for example, are a little more expensive, may be thinner, and are about equal in preventing against STD's.


Do keep in mind though, that the only way of avoiding ANY sexually related complications is abstinence.
latex condoms can kill u if you use them and your allergic... the other condoms don't use latex condoms anymore every since they found out that more n more people are allergic to them...so ones more healthier than the other
you shouldnt use condoms unless u r swimming but you should use pads.and latex is easyer to put on

Non latex would be for people allergic to latex.
latex condoms are non-porous, whereas lambskins and condoms made of other materials are porous, meaning they have very tiny spaces where oraganisms may get through. That is why all of the aids prevention info prescribes latex condoms.
Latex is the most popular type of condom, but some of the materials used to make it can be toxic.





Polyurethane is in some ways safer than latex, but it can break easier and is more expensive





Lambskin is the least effective for protecting against STDs





There is an unapproved, experimental ';invisible condom'; being tested in Montreal that is claims to be more effective than all the materials that precede it, but it is still early in development
Some people are allergic to latex,





Other condoms do not protect against STD's and some of them are even very lousy at stopping semen!

Condoms that aren't latex are for people with latex allergies.

No, they do not protect against ANY stds. They reduce your chances of getting them, but do not protect 100%
