Let\u2019s not beat around the bush\u2026 using condoms is not exactly the most favourable thing in the world. Millions of people worldwide find that <\/span>using a condom can reduce sensation<\/span><\/a>, and is just, well, a drag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, instead of bashing this magical invention, let\u2019s celebrate it by taking a look at <\/span>LELO\u2019s HEX condoms<\/span><\/a>. They\u2019re basically the cream of the crop when it comes to protection!<\/span><\/p>\n

But first, let\u2019s take a look at some interesting facts and statistics that\u2019ll give you a bit of insight into condoms, and why they\u2019re so important.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Male Condom vs. The Female Condom<\/span><\/h2>\n

The female condom has yet to surpass the male condom in popularity. That could be because it has a more intimidating appearance, and the fact that it is 95% effective when used correctly, and 79% effective if not used correctly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This makes the male condom a safer choice in terms of protection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Are Condoms Important?<\/span><\/h2>\n

People all over the world engage in sexual activity yet perhaps don\u2019t have the means, motivation, nor passion to have children. For that reason, condoms are like a go-to in order to prevent pregnancy. But there is one other very important reason why condom use is so important.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wearing a condom during sex radically reduces, if not completely prevents, the <\/span>spread of HIV<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>human immunodeficiency virus)<\/span> as well as STI\u2019s (Sexually Transmitted Infections).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And while many have the attitude: <\/span>\u201cIt\u2019ll never happen to me,\u201d<\/span><\/i> it is a very real reality, with more than one million STI\u2019s acquired every day worldwide, according to the <\/span>World Health Organization<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

To twist the knife even further, <\/span>the majority of STI\u2019s have no or very mild symptoms<\/span><\/a>, and thus go unrecognized, untreated, yet spread.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, it\u2019s agreed, no more hatin\u2019 on condoms, kay? In fact, let\u2019s put a more positive spin on them by mentioning the additional benefits\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
