There are a lot of crazy condoms out there. Condoms shaped like animals, Obama-themed condoms—even bacon-flavored condoms! Most of these novelty condoms don't do much for your sack game. But that's not true of glow-in-the-dark condoms.

Glow-in-the-dark condoms are some of the kinkiest and most fun condoms out there. AND they can actually make sex better. Want to know how?

We've got all the deets below, along with our recommendations for the best glow-in-the-dark condoms.

Let's get glowing!

6 Reasons Why You Need Glow-in-the-Dark Condoms

You should always keep a glow-in-the-dark condom near your nightstand. Here's why.

1. They're easy to find in the dark

Have you ever fumbled around for a condom in the dark? It's a real pain to figure out which side is up. If you put a condom on inside-out, you've got to throw it away and try again. What a waste.

Not to mention, bumbling for your condom in the dark doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in your performance. It's a great way to tell your partner that you don't have much experience.

Unlike black condoms, glow-in-the-dark condoms take away the guesswork of putting a condom on in the dark AND add a kinky surprise. You'll be able to safely and confidently don your condom while showing your partner that you've got plenty of tricks up your sleeve.

2. Glow-in-the-dark condoms are safe

Worried about putting radioactive materials close to your most treasured man parts? Don't be. Glow-in-the-dark condoms are 100% safe for you and your partner.

You can use them for any type of sex—vaginal, anal, oral, masturbation—and they're just as effective at preventing pregnancy and STI transmission as standard condoms. All glow-in-the-dark condoms sold by Condomania are FDA-approved for safe sex.

In fact, some would argue that glowing condoms are even SAFER than other condoms. Glow condoms are easier to see in the dark, so you're more likely to put the condom on correctly. You'll also know right away if it slips off.

And glow-in-the-dark condoms are slightly thicker than regular condoms due to their glowing phosphorus layer. This may make them somewhat less likely to break during sex compared to standard condoms.

3. They make you last longer

Yes, glow-in-the-dark condoms can make sex BETTER, especially for your partner. Glowing condoms are a bit thicker than standard condoms, which is excellent for guys who want a bit less sensation for improved performance.

This is why glowing condoms are perfect for one-nighters and new partners. They add some excitement and spontaneity to the moment and help you last longer, even if it's been a minute since your last encounter.

When you're wearing a glowing condom, you don't want to cut the fun short after just a few minutes. Do yourself (and your partner) a favor and add some glow to your game.

4. They make you look bigger

What do you do when you want something to stand out? You highlight it. Wearing a glow-in-the-dark condom is like an industrial-strength highlighter for your man meat. The darker the room, the "bigger" the glow.

The concept of adding glow to make things seem bigger has plenty of applications besides enlarging your lunker. It's also used in makeup and movie magic. Makeup artists add highlights and play with neon tones to make eyes and lips larger or make noses seem more minor.

Rumor has it that Tom Cruise always has a neon light shining on him to make him appear taller than his actual height of 4 feet tall.

5. They add mood lighting

Studies have found that adding a little mood lighting can increase testosterone and boost sex appeal for both partners.

Studies have not found that sex improves when the mood lighting is emitted from your dong. However, most glow-in-the-dark condom users agree that having a bit more light—especially down there—makes sex a lot more interesting.

Just imagine—you're able to better see the parts of you and your partner that you really want to see. And you have a much clearer picture of the action in a dark room. There's no mistaking how deep, fast, or slow you're going.

6. They're fun!

Do you really need a better reason than this? Glow-in-the-dark condoms make sex more fun! They're sure to put a smile on your partner's face. And in the end, fun sex is the best kind.

Plus, there are tons of fun games and role-plays to try when you use glowing condoms. Here are a few ideas:

👉 Star Wars lightsaber battles: Who hasn't wanted to use his dick like a lightsaber to rid the galaxy of evil and end up in bed with the princess (or Han Solo!)? Now, you can bring those Star Wars fantasies to life without dropping 4 grand on a trip to Disney.

👉 Hide and go seek: Turn off all the lights and make your partner find you using only the light coming from their erect glow stick.

👉 GhostBusters: There's something strange in the neighborhood. A glowing, penis-shaped orb has been spotted. Time to put the proton packs on and investigate.

👉 The Descent: The beloved movie of women gone spelunking can be transformed into a hilarious glow-in-the-dark condom game. Get a group of consenting friends to search for you in the dark. Then, jump out and scare them in your condom. The adrenaline really gets the juices flowing. Dressing up as a cave-dwelling monster is optional.

WARNING: Read Before You Buy Glow-in-the-Dark Condoms

Glow-in-the-Dark condoms are SAFE to use during sex—if you buy the right ones.

Glowing condoms are often regarded as novelty items, and some brands make gag condoms and prank condoms that glow in the dark. These condoms are usually NOT approved for safe sex and are sold as joke items.

If you want to use your glow-in-the-dark condoms during sex (who wouldn't?), you need to buy from condom brands that are regulated and approved for safe use by agencies like the FDA or NHS.

Don't worry; you don't have to do any research to buy glowing condoms. Just shop for condoms at Condomania.

100% of the condoms we sell are approved by regulatory agencies to prevent pregnancy and STI transmission. And that includes our selection of glow-in-the-dark condoms. Start your illuminating condom journey here.
