This is a picture of multi coloured condoms. A number of different types of condom are now available. What is generally called a condom is the "male" condom, a sheath or covering which fits over a man's penis, and which is closed at one end. Condoms are made out of latex (rubber), plastic or animal tissue. If possible, you should use a latex condom as these are the most effective against viruses such as HIV, and in most countries they are the type most readily available. Condoms come in a variety of shapes. Most have a reservoir tip although some do have a plain tip. Condoms may be regular shaped (with straight sides), form fit (indented just below the glans or "head" of the penis), or they may be flared (wider over the glans). In addition, some condoms are textured with ribs or bumps. Condoms also come in a variety of colours.
