is it possible to be allergic to condoms but not latex gloves??

[sandy4]

because I think I am.

Over the past few months I've had thrush-like symptoms after having sex & I'm sure its the condoms. I'm OK after I've taken piriton. It's not thrush & I have quite a few allergies - dust, feathers, fur, certain food make my mouth itch.

Dp says this is not possible as I can wear washing up gloves without any problems. He basically thinks I'm talking rubbish.

it sould be the spermicide on the condom your allergic to. you get ones for those allergic to it.

Have you tried a few different brands? I wonder if the lubricant might be the culprit.

Yes - spermicide causes mayor allergies

You can get hypo-allergenic condoms (but I'm allergic to them too)

good point - I'm off to the supermarket.
