What's your condom of choice?
Hi ladies!
I have been on BCP for about 8 consecutive years now. I am considering going off BCP (mostly because it's been so long I am curious to see what my body does without BCP. I originally went on it because my periods were so irregular and extremely painful cramps and backache).
DH has never been a big fan of condoms because it doesn't "feel like anything," so I'm wondering what you like best? What do you recommend so that he can feel like he's not wearing one?
TIA

Re: What's your condom of choice?
My hubby and I are going through this same thing!! I went off BCP because those hormones are just messing up my body.
We've tried about 10 different kinds and the winners are:
1) Trojan Ecstacy Ultra Ribbed (yellow box...got them at walmart) I loved these beause the ribs felt really good inside me, hubby loved the shape of the condom because it didn't slip off during sex and it was really thin so he felt a lot of sensation.
2) Pleasure Plus condoms. (got them at quikcondoms.com) These are rated really really high by men in all the reviews I read. They have a baggy area of the condom that goes on the underside of the guy's head (I think its called the frenulum?) and so when he is in you, it rubs on his special place and really causes a lot of friction and makes it feel great for the guys. I liked it because it was also very thin. It did tend to slip off and wasn't as great a fit as the Ecstacy ones.
3) Lifestyle SKYN: also very thin and hubby loved this because it was so thin and the fit was good. I didn't like it as much as the Ecstacy ones because it didn't have ribs.
Overall I would say that you just need to try out at least 3 different kinds and eventually you'll find one that works. Hubby may not ever find one that feels AS good as without one, but at least one that will be acceptable and feel good. Good luck!
We usually use Durex Extra Sensistive.
I recently bought the Trojan Pleasure Pack to give some other ones a try. DH really liked the Her Pleasure (I could kind of feel the ribs, but it didn't do much for me), and the Twisted Pleasure wasn't anything special for either of us.
Really, just try some out and find out what works best for the two of you.
We've gone the pleasure pack route the last few times and I honestly can't tell the difference between any of the three -- and there's certainly nothing "twisted" about the pleasure.
Trojan's what we like the best, though; they don't slip off nearly as much as some of the cheaper ones we've tried.
My husband loves Beyond Seven Condoms and Crown Skinless Skin Condoms.
A college roommate from Japan gave use one to try, after that I was all over the internet looking to buy more.
You can buy them at Condomania.com
