External Condoms
External condoms can be used for vaginal, anal, or oral sex on a penis and with toys. External condoms are sometimes called “male condoms” because they are often placed on a penis.
Condom Fairy offers the following types of external condoms:
- Latex external condoms:
- Trojan® condoms are standard sized
- Lifestyles® Snugger Fit condoms are smaller sized
- Magnum® condoms are larger sized
- Flavored condoms are standard sized
- Non-latex external condoms:
- SKYN® Non-Latex condoms are standard sized and made of polyisoprene
Find Your Fit
If you’re not sure which external condom is right for you, consider starting with the “Find Your Fit” pack!
This variety pack of external condoms is designed to help you find what works, fits, and feels best. A condom that fits well should feel tight but not uncomfortable. It should cover the penis from the tip to the base of the shaft.
A Find Your Fit Pack includes:
- 2 Trojan® standard size condoms (latex)
- 2 Lifestyles® Snugger Fit condoms (latex)
- 2 Magnum® condoms (latex)
All of the external condoms offered by Condom Fairy are spermicide-free, lightly coated with silicone lubricant for increased comfort and sensitivity, and can help to prevent unplanned pregnancy and STIs.

Flavored Condoms
When should you use flavored external condoms?
Flavored condoms are specifically designed for oral sex and offer protection from STIs that can be transmitted through oral sex. Generally, flavored condoms are not recommended for other types of sex (vaginal or anal use) as they may cause irritation or infection
How do you use a flavored external condom?
It is the same process to put on a flavored external condom as a non-flavored external condom. The biggest difference between flavored and unflavored condoms is what the condom is used for. Flavored condoms are intended to be used for oral sex on a penis or toy. Flavored condoms are generally not recommended for vaginal or anal use.

Internal Condoms (FC2)
Internal condoms can be used for vaginal or anal sex and with toys. Internal condoms are sometimes called “female condoms” because they are often placed inside a vagina.
Condom Fairy offers the FC2® internal condom. FC2® is made of nitrile, a latex-free material. It’s spermicide-free and is coated with a silicone lubricant for increased comfort and sensitivity. When used correctly, it helps to prevent unplanned pregnancy and STIs.

Lube
Lube (also known as personal lubricant) can be used for vaginal, anal, or oral sex, and with toys.
Condom Fairy offers two types of personal lubricants:
- ONE Oasis® and ID® Glide are water-based lubricants
- ID® Frutopia® is a flavored, water-based lube (assorted fruit flavors)
Water-based lubricants are safe to use with latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms. When used with condoms, personal lubricant increases pleasure and reduces risk of condom breakage. They wash off with water, won’t stain your sheets or clothes, and do not have parabens, oils, or spermicide.
Flavored lubricants offered by Condom Fairy, such as Frutopia, contain no sugar or artificial coloring, meaning it’s safe for internal use. Other flavored lubricants not offered by Condom Fairy can sometimes contain ingredients like glucose that are not recommended for vaginal use, and may not be the best option for those with sensitivities.
