Stand in front of a wall of flavoured condoms and every box looks like it's making the same promise. Strawberry, chocolate, mint, mixed packs, variety packs, and no obvious way to tell which one is actually worth your money versus which one is just a strawberry-scented sticker on standard latex. Best flavoured condoms UK shoppers actually buy tend to cluster around a handful of names for good reason, and it's rarely just about the flavour printed on the front.
This list ranks the 10 flavoured condoms worth buying right now, built from what's actually selling and most reviewed on condoms.uk, spread across five brands so you're not reading five versions of the same product with a different name on it. Along the way, it covers the one question most flavoured condom pages dodge entirely: whether the flavour affects what you can safely use the condom for.

1. Skins Flavoured Condoms
This is the single best-selling flavoured condom on condoms.uk, and that tells you something before you've even read the flavour list: most people don't want to commit to one flavour on a first buy. Skins Flavoured Condoms pack a mix of flavours into one box, and Skins stocks a deeper flavour range on this site than any other brand, so the mix pulls from more variety than most competitors can offer.
At £8.99, it sits mid-price for a mixed pack. It comes with 2 reviews so far and holds the bestseller spot on the flavoured condoms collection, ahead of every other product on this list. The lubricant is flavoured the standard way, with added sugar, which means this box is built for oral sex rather than penetrative use. That's true of most flavoured condoms on this list and it's worth understanding properly, so there's a full breakdown further down rather than repeating it in every entry.
Best for: first-time buyers who don't know their favourite flavour yet and want to sample a spread in one purchase. Skip if: you already know you want a flavour that's also fine for vaginal use, in which case jump to the vegan picks lower down this list.
2. EXS Mixed Flavoured Condoms
Nine reviews doesn't sound like much until you compare it against everything else in this category. EXS Mixed Flavoured Condoms is the most-reviewed flavoured condom on condoms.uk, which says more about consistency than volume. People buy it, then come back and rate it.
EXS built its name on reliable, fairly priced condoms across sizes and styles rather than novelty, and that positioning carries over here. At £6.99 it's the cheapest of the mixed packs on this list, without reading like a budget compromise. If you want the full picture on how EXS compares to the other big UK names, condoms.uk has a complete brand guide worth a look.
Best for: buyers who want proven value without paying a premium for the mix. Skip if: you'd rather commit to one consistent flavour than open a box of surprises.
3. EXS Variety Pack Condoms
Two variety packs of mixed flavours land in a single purchase here, which makes this the option for not running out halfway through the month. EXS Variety Pack Condoms sit at £12.99 with 8 reviews, and it's built for volume rather than a one-off try.
Think of it as the natural step up from the standard EXS mixed pack above: same brand, same reliability, just more of it in one order across two separate variety packs rather than a single box. That matters more than it sounds for couples using flavoured condoms regularly, or anyone who's decided this is a staple rather than something bought once out of curiosity.
If you already know flavoured condoms are becoming a regular fixture rather than an occasional purchase, start here instead of the smaller packs. You'll spend less per condom and order less often, and you'll have backup the moment the first pack runs low.
4. Durex Intense Condoms
Durex is the name almost everyone already recognises, and Durex Intense Condoms isn't really a flavour-first product the way most of this list is. It combines a ribbed and dotted texture with a warming sensation, finished with strawberry flavouring, so the flavour is one part of a bigger package rather than the whole point.
At £14.99 it's the most expensive single-brand pick here, with 2 reviews so far. That price reflects the added texture and sensation features rather than the flavour alone, so it's not a fair like-for-like comparison against the simpler flavour-only packs elsewhere on this list. The appeal is doing double duty: strawberry flavour for oral sex, then texture and warming sensation carried into what comes next. Because the flavoured lubricant on this one still uses added sugar like most of the list, keep an unflavoured or vegan-natural condom on hand for penetrative sex rather than switching straight over. More on exactly why, below.
Best for: couples who want one product working across oral and foreplay rather than buying two separate boxes. Skip if: you want a wide flavour range rather than one flavour paired with texture.
5. Pasante Taste Condoms
If Skins and EXS are already familiar by this point, Pasante is the third mixed-flavour option worth knowing about. Pasante Taste Condoms is a mixed pack at £7.99, with 1 review so far, and it's a British brand with one of the longer track records in the category.
Pasante's flavour range on condoms.uk extends well beyond what's in this mixed box too, with standalone flavours including tropical, strawberry, mint, blueberry blast and chocolate temptation. If none of the mixed packs above feel like they've nailed it, the full flavoured condoms collection has the complete Pasante lineup to pick from individually.
Best for: buyers who've already tried Skins or EXS and want a genuine third comparison rather than a repeat. Skip if: you want one specific flavour rather than a mixed box you can't control.
6. Glyde Slim Fit Strawberry Condoms
A 100-pack for £49.99 works out cheaper per condom than every other product on this list, and that's before you factor in what makes Glyde different in the first place. Glyde Slim Fit Strawberry Condoms comes from a vegan, Fairtrade-certified natural latex brand, and its flavoured range uses natural fruit extract rather than the added-sugar approach behind most flavoured condoms.
That distinction matters more than it sounds. Standard flavoured lubricant relies on sugar for taste, which is exactly what makes it unsuitable for vaginal use. Natural-extract flavouring like Glyde's is why this range gets recommended more comfortably beyond oral sex, though it's always worth checking the individual product's own labelling rather than assuming across the board. The slim fit sizing is also worth flagging on its own: it's a genuinely narrower cut than the standard-width condoms elsewhere on this list, not just a marketing label, so it's worth checking that fit suits you before buying in bulk at this pack size.
Best for: regular buyers, vegans, or anyone who wants one flavoured condom they don't have to think twice about beyond oral sex. Skip if: you want the widest possible flavour spread rather than one flavour bought in bulk.
7. Skins Chocolate Condoms
Five reviews makes this the most-reviewed single flavour on this entire list, and chocolate is a flavour people specifically ask for by name rather than settle for inside a mixed pack. Skins Chocolate Condoms costs £8.99 and delivers exactly what it says, without getting lost among strawberry and mint the way it would in a mix.
It's also the one flavour on this list that reads as genuinely different from the fruit-dominated norm, closer to dessert than to sweets. Where the mixed packs earlier in this list give you chocolate as one option among several, this is the pick if chocolate is specifically what you're after rather than something you might land on by chance.
8. Skins Strawberry Condoms
Strawberry has been the most consistently purchased flavour in the UK since flavoured condoms first launched, and Skins Strawberry Condoms at £8.99 is the safest single-flavour bet on this list if you're buying for someone else's taste rather than just your own.
There's a reason strawberry keeps winning where more unusual flavours don't: it's familiar, it's not divisive, and almost nobody actively dislikes it. That makes it the default recommendation whenever you're not entirely sure what the other person prefers.
Best for: buying for a partner when you're not certain of their flavour preference. Skip if: you already know chocolate or mint suits you better, in which case go straight there instead.
9. Glyde Wildberry Condoms
If the 100-pack Glyde strawberry option above felt like overcommitting, Glyde Wildberry Condoms gets you the same vegan, natural-extract formulation in a smaller £11.99 pack with 1 review so far. Same brand logic, same reasoning around flavour and vaginal use, just a lower quantity to start with and a standard rather than slim fit.
Wildberry is also a less common flavour than the standard strawberry, chocolate and mint lineup that dominates this list, which makes it worth trying if you've already worked through the obvious options and want something different.
Best for: trying the Glyde formulation without committing to a 100-pack. Skip if: you're set on strawberry specifically, in which case the Glyde Slim Fit Strawberry Condoms above are the better fit.
10. Skins Mint Condoms
Every flavour on this list so far has been sweet. Mint is the one exception, and it's more popular than the name might suggest to anyone expecting only fruit and chocolate options. Skins Mint Condoms costs £8.99 and delivers a fresher, less sugary sensory experience than the rest of the range.
It also closes out the Skins entries on this list, which between them cover more single flavours than any other brand here: mint, chocolate and strawberry, plus the mixed pack that opened the whole list. If fruit and chocolate flavours feel too sweet for your taste, or you just want something that doesn't read as a dessert, start here rather than working through the fruit options first. It's a genuinely different experience, not just a novelty flavour tacked onto the end of a list.
Flavoured Condoms and Vaginal Sex: What You Need to Know
Flavoured condoms get their taste from flavouring added to the condom's lubricant, and in most cases that means added sugar, usually glucose or a glycerin-based sweetener. That's harmless in your mouth. It's a different story once that same sugared lubricant meets the vagina.
Sugar in lube can alter vaginal pH and increase the risk of yeast infection (candidiasis) or bacterial vaginosis when used for vaginal sex. This is exactly why flavoured condoms are designed and marketed around oral sex specifically, not as a general-purpose condom you swap in for anything. Every sugared product on this list, which is most of them, should be treated as an oral-sex product first.
The exception is natural-extract flavouring instead of added sugar, which is the approach behind Glyde's vegan range covered above. Products flavoured this way are more commonly considered fine for vaginal use too, though it's still worth checking the individual product's own labelling rather than assuming the rule applies across every flavour and brand. When in doubt, keep a standard or vegan-natural condom on hand for penetrative sex and treat a sugared flavoured condom as exactly what it's built for.
If you want the fuller explainer on how and why condoms get flavoured in the first place, condoms.uk has a dedicated guide covering it in more depth. And if oral sex is specifically what you're shopping for, the flavoured lube collection is worth pairing with whichever condom you land on above.
FAQ
Are flavoured condoms safe to use for vaginal sex?
Most flavoured condoms are flavoured with added sugar, which can alter vaginal pH and increase the risk of yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis if used for vaginal sex. They're designed for oral sex. Natural-extract flavoured ranges like Glyde are the exception, but always check individual product labelling. See the section above for the full explanation.
Do flavoured condoms protect against STIs the same as regular condoms?
Yes. Flavoured condoms use the same latex barrier as standard condoms and offer the same level of STI protection during oral sex. The flavouring changes the lubricant, not the material doing the protecting. For broader contraception and sexual health guidance, NHS.uk is a reliable source.
What's the most popular flavoured condom flavour in the UK?
Strawberry. It's been the most consistently purchased flavour since flavoured condoms launched in the UK, largely because it's familiar and rarely disliked. Skins Strawberry Condoms, covered above, is a straightforward way to try it.
Can you use flavoured condoms if you're vegan?
Yes. Glyde's flavoured range, including the Slim Fit Strawberry and Wildberry condoms covered above, is vegan and Fairtrade-certified, made from natural latex and flavoured with natural extract rather than animal-derived ingredients.
Do flavoured condoms taste strong, or is it subtle?
It varies by brand and flavour more than most people expect. Some, like Skins Chocolate, are fairly pronounced. Others are more subtle. If you're not sure what you'll prefer, a mixed pack like Skins Flavoured Condoms or EXS Mixed Flavoured Condoms is the easiest way to sample several without committing to one flavour upfront.
How long do flavoured condoms last before they expire?
Flavoured condoms carry the same shelf life as standard condoms, typically several years from manufacture, with the exact expiry date printed on the individual wrapper and outer box. Store them away from heat and direct sunlight, and always check the date on the pack before use rather than assuming based on when you bought it.
