I came of age during a time that told women sex only felt good for men and that you’d have a better chance of winning the lottery than having an orgasm. Although it sounds ludicrous now, this narrative made me feel shameful about sex in general. Not only did I feel uncomfortable discussing it, but I never would’ve been caught dead with or buying condoms. Instead, I took my birth control and left the condoms to the men.
Thankfully, a lot has changed since then thanks to female-owned sexual wellness brands. Case in point? nixit. Since 2019, the brand has been disrupting the vaginal health and wellness space thanks to their sustainable period solutions. And as of today, they now have condoms that are (finally) putting vaginas first.
Regardless of where you are on your sexual health journey—whether you’re having sex for the first time, exploring new partners, newly off the pill, or done having kids—nixit’s condoms are everything you need for safe and shame-free sex. Keep scrolling to learn more.
The nixit Condoms Putting Vaginas First:
About nixit condoms:
Made from ultra-thin, vegan, natural rubber latex, these condoms are truly unlike any other. Designed with vagina owners in mind, they’re free from irritants irritants that can disrupt the vagine, like parabens, spermicide, glyercin, dyes and added fragrances, and chemical irritants known to cause UTIs. Plus, a light pure silicone oil lubrication coats the inside, so you don’t have to worry about friction or unnecessary pain while you’re getting it on.
What’s more, the packaging is also stunning AF. And if you think that’s accidental, think again. Founder of nixit Rachael Newton explained in a press release that while most condoms are made for men with their dark packaging and focus on endurance and size, nixit’s condoms are meant to spark joy during intimate moments. And with their bright, cheerful packaging, believe me when I tell you they do just that.
And if that wasn’t enough, they’re also compatible with nixit’s water-based lubricant, so you can get extra slippery during play or nixit’s menstrual cup, so you can have safe, mess-free period sex.
Where to buy:
Attention Whole Foods shoppers: nixit condoms are now available for in-store purchase. Likewise, if you’re an online shopper, you can buy the condoms (and other nixit products) directly from nixit’s website in a variety of packs and bundles at different price points:
- Sprint Trio: 3-pack box; $4.00 USD
- Stamina Squad:12-pack box; $13.00 USD
- Marathon: 24-pack box; $23 USD
- Intimacy Bundle: 1 bottle of lube and 1 box of condoms; $21.00 USD
My thoughts:
I’ll start by saying this: I am THRILLED about this release. Despite being in a monogamous relationship for ten years, this launch made me realize why keeping condoms on deck is a must. While I don’t use them regularly with my fiancé because I’m on birth control, they come in handy whenever I’m on antibiotics or medicine that decreases the effectiveness of the pill (no babies for me yet, thank you very much).
That said, believe me when I tell you that nixit condoms are unlike any other on the market. Although it’s been a while since I’ve used them, I still remember how unpleasant they were back in the day; their thickness and lack of lubrication caused a lot of unwanted friction and unenjoyable—not to mention painful—sex.
In contrast, these feel like next to nothing while the pure silicone oil delivers natural lubrication and a lifelike feel; they glide with your body and your partner’s without causing unnecessary friction. And when paired with nixit’s lube, the pleasure is out of this world. Plus, the packaging is so chic and beautiful; it makes me want to proudly display and use nixit condoms until I tear open the very last pouch.
So… are nixit condoms worth it?
In short: 100%. Not only do nixit condoms help everyone practice better and safer sex, but they also prioritize vaginal health while doing so. Plus, they feel amazing (like, really amazing), are effective, and deliver a skin-to-skin sensation unlike any other.
The truth is, buying and using over-the-counter birth control is nothing to be ashamed of, and this revolutionary breakthrough in the sexual wellness space is finally shifting the focus from men using condoms to sexually active people all around. And I don’t know about you, but that is something I can get behind.
