Is it okay to use a flavoured condom such as lemon or chocolate?

Yes, flavoured condoms are fine to use. They're mainly designed for oral sex, to make it more pleasant for the person using their mouth.

They work the same way as regular condoms in terms of protection. They still prevent pregnancy and reduce the risk of STIs. If a flavoured condom is all you have, it's better to use it than to not use one at all.

For vaginal sex, regular (unflavoured) condoms are usually a better choice. The flavouring and sugar-based coatings on some flavoured condoms can sometimes cause irritation or increase the risk of thrush. It's not guaranteed to cause a problem, but if you have the option, use a regular one for vaginal sex and save the flavoured ones for oral.

They need to have a CE or BSI kitemark on the packaging, the same as any other condom. As long as they do, they meet the safety standards.
