While condoms usually do their job when theyre used correctly, they can do more than just offer protection. In fact, some of the best condoms on the market can actually enhance a woman's experience. There are many different types of condoms out there for pleasure, says sex therapist <a href="https://www.yoursexdoc.com/" id="f5488cce-21ea-384e-a438-279206a947cd"> Debra Laino </a> .

Textures are a big bonus when you're using a condomsome brands offer ridges or studs, which can create different sensations in your <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a19973973/vagina-questions/" id="4e825098-eaac-36df-a4a2-7a0ba00fa95f"> vagina </a> . Thats very pleasurable for many women, Laino says.

Of course, everyone is different and the type of condom that one woman obsesses over over just might not do it for you, and thats okay. Some people like the feeling of ribbed and other textured versions and others report that they dont experience any difference in pleasure, says Jessica OReilly, Ph.D., host of the <a href="https://www.sexwithdrjess.com/podcast-2/" id="e544df18-233d-3bcf-a27a-98cdb1c37cd9"> @SexWithDrJess Podcast </a> .

Ultimately, the fit, texture, flavor, and brand is a matter of personal taste, which is why its a good idea to experiment to see what works best for you and your partner, OReilly says.
