Your favourite condom...

[Dalesgirl]

What is your favourite condom, healthwise and for DH responsiveness/sensitvity. The reason I ask is serious. I have just started taking the Yasmin pill and I am frightened by the anger, 'down' feeling and overall general moodiness I am experiencing. Crying all the time and hating my home to the point where I could take a hammer to every room.. This is not like me at all I know that for sure. This is my first time on the pill for over 10 years, please somone give me some hope for condom use. There must be some advances in science, we use the ordinary Durex but it's not much fun, hence reason for the pill!!

Don't durex do those extra light ones that are very fine so it's not like shagging through a bin liner ?

I hate Durex.

Do like Trojans, though.

Although, I'm glad to be done w/condoms. I hate them.

DH does, too.

Keep in mind they're made for larger sizes, too, IYKWIM .

i feel for you really, maybe try a different pill? i dont care for flavoured condoms, as no matter how much flavour is on those suckers, nothing takes away that revolting taste of sperrmicide.. eurgh!

surely if it's your husband, you don't need to give him a BJ whilst he's wearing a condom?

eeewwwww.

thats what i was thinking expat

unless bj is mid - shag

I emailsed the very same query to NP

But then take the damn thing OFF and get another one.

Sorry, but my technique would be totally blown - pardon the pun - w/one of those on.

yes i would take it off and get another one if req

I know what you mean with the 'getting it on' comment. My DH bless him is 'normal', I think in proportion but Durex seem so uncomfortable. I wouldn't use them if I were him. What about these C's that are 'ribbed' and such. Is that just a gimmick or do they actually feel different?
Trojans? never heard of them...what are they like? Do you get them from Boots, say?

Durex suck! They've ripped on a few of my friends.

I never went out for all those goofy ones - like colours or glow n the dark.

I'm there to romp not play w/the willy.

well when me and partner first got together i wouldnt go anywhere near 'him' without one, now we dont use them but think thats more to the fact that whilst he was 'rediscovering' himself he went and stuck a metal hoop through it... still used one up until then though, over a year into the relationship. i knew one of his exes. hope this clears up what i was trying to say? sorry for maybe sounding like a plum?

'whilst he was 'rediscovering' himself he went and stuck a metal hoop through it... '

I can't imagine anyone who goes out w/a man who has his cock pierced can be considered a plum.

These might help... They come in all shapes and sizes apparently so are much more versatile and suitable for all!

You can get Trojans cheap in Wilko

Durex are crap IMO too. In our condom days, I had two fall apart inside me (not at the same time!) They didn't just rip, they disintegrated and we were not doing anything wild!! DH had to search for all the pieces with a torch.. (and no he wasn't shining it around like an FBI agent in a dark, wide-open space! ) and piece them together like jigsaws as I was so afraid of something being left behind and me having to submit to the same type of investigation in clinic conditions!!

PMSL that the link has pregnancy tests on it listed after all those condoms!
Could you consider changing your pill? I was quite rational on Mercilon and now on Microgynon I think.

Yes well.. condoms are not 100% as the existence of my DS2 will testify (And that was not on one of the disintegration epispodes!)

Actually I think he was an immaculate conception.

expat, i can see your point and am probably a plum, however didnt really think that a new piercing was a valid reason for throwing in the towel and leaving him. Also, ive always said to him that when it comes to style i wont try to 'change' him like his ex did.. and its not THAT bad.. anyway, after divulging TMI, i think im going to hide in the corner.

Dalesgirl i really hope you find the perfect condom, or perfect pill.

huh?

where did that come from?

did i ever say, 'oh, he's got his cock pierced, ditch him?'

i mean, for all i know, i know plenty of blokes who have their willies pierced.

it's just not something most plummy peeps would do is all.

my boyfriend is a privately educated cock pierced plasterer

we use an elastic band and crisp packet

Thanks for the link Shiny..nearly 40 and buying condoms is still stressful. Online is the way to go. LoveHoney website for all your 'Toy' requirements but that's another story for another day.
