XP: Recommend a brand of condoms, please
I have to go off of BC pills for awhile because there are no refills
left on my perscription (which I didn't know until it was too late) and
CVS can't just call the doctor to get a refill because the doctor I saw
last March moved out of state. So I'm in kind of a pickle because I
can't get an appointment with another doctor until March 26. So we are
just going to have to use condoms for awhile until I can see my new
doctor, at which point I will discuss BC options for me because I'm not
even sure if I want to continue with the pill I've been taking (yaz).
Anyway,
H doesn't really like wearing condoms because it is hard for him to
keep his erection, but we don't have many options so he is fine with it.
We are going to go "condom shopping" this weekend and see which ones
would work for him. We are probably going to look for a very thin condom
with spermicide (because I am scared of getting pregnant) Anyone have
any recommendations?
Re: XP: Recommend a brand of condoms, please
Skip the condoms with spermicide and check out the spermicidal foams, they are gentler.
And if he is concerned about condom slippage, get a stretch *** ring and when he is erect and condom is in place gently slide the *** ring to the base of the condom and you have a condom belt!
Do not leave the *** ring on longer than 20 minutes and if your partner is diabetic then I don't recommend the *** ring.
The only time I ever used ultra thin, it broke, my period decided to be late, and we thought I was pregnant. I wasn't. I wouldn't recommend ultra thin by trojan.
We use only spermicidle condoms. I've never experienced irritation, but maybe I'm not sensitive. As of now, we're using Trojan Ultra Ribbed, but there isn't anything fancy about them.
I've had Kinonos tear on me before and once almost had a pregnancy scare early on in my relationship with FH.
When we were using condoms we preferred Trojan magnums. FH says they are roomy enough and they don't irritate me all that much.
