“Whilst flavored condoms can add a fun twist to your sex life, the majority of condoms should only ever be used for oral sex and are not recommended for vaginal sex due to the potential risks that they pose,” it shared. “Their flavoring, often derived from sugar-based ingredients like glucose or glycerine added to the lubricant, could lead to irritation and yeast infections, or disrupt a vagina’s natural PH balance.” As a result, flavored condoms should only be used for oral — and never vaginal or anal sex.
