Condoms that are the closest thing to not using a condom? Any suggestions?

Nothing perfumed or with added bits to enhance anyone's experience, just nice condoms that feel OK.

Has anyone found any?

Mates Naturals are very plain. Also, compare 'nominal widths' on the packets (or leaflet inside packet for some brands) - it can make a difference for you man iyswim.

i hate mates
durex extra safe? featherlite?

Bouquetsofdynomite · 14/09/2007 18:07

I buy whatever is on special offer (and the right width natch) so we change brands quite a bit but I honestly don't notice any differences! Some might be a bit smellier I guess but I couldn't say which.

We tend to go for Durex.
I know you didnt' want any fancy bits, but can I just say that Durex have brought out a vibrating ring piece which the guy fits at the base of his Knob, and I must say its very effective

Just thought you might like to know

We used to like Avanti, they're a bit more expensive but feel better, also second Overrun's vibrating ring!

Overrun · 14/09/2007 18:13

What a pleasant suprise that was glammama

RitaRitaMeterMaid · 14/09/2007 18:15

Avanti.
Made from polyurethane instead of rubber and more sensitive. Also they don't smell rubbery.
But they are expensive.

RitaRitaMeterMaid · 14/09/2007 18:16

Polyurethane can be thinner than rubber and still be as strong.

It's a slow night here, Overrun

mates naturals are sooo much better than durex, there is something about the colour and feel of a durex condom that turns me right off. Mind you I really dislike condoms full stop - which explains why we have ds!

ooh, thanks all. sounds like Avanti may be the best bet. they can't be as expensive as having another baby.

may also now have to try the vibrating thingy. in a spirit of scientific experimentation, obviously.
