I found this in my bed.

I found this in my bed. It was under the duvet cover on my side when I got home from work this other day. I'm married. Husband works from home.

I know what I think it is but I just can't believe it.

Could it be something other than a condom wrapper? I've convinced myself it's off something else, some sort of other packet.

Just mind that some men use a condom when they fly solo as well!

KidsDoBetter · 21/11/2025 19:55

If it’s a condom wrapper someone will be along with the posh wank theory anon.

whilst we wait for photo - how is your marriage generally? Any reason infidelity is likely?

Can’t you just say “masturbate”??

Thanks for checking in with the posh wank excuse tho.

Do any actual real men do this? Because I only ever hear it on here and the only thing I ever hear from men is that condoms feel worse so I don't know that this isn't just a myth perpetuated by people desperate to believe their husband isn't shagging the maid/nanny/postman despite all evidence to the contrary

pinkyredrose · 21/11/2025 19:58

Do you have other suspicions?

Not much doubt about that

Mischance · 21/11/2025 20:01

Well it is clear what it is.....

Wheech · 21/11/2025 20:01

It's a condom wrapper, it says on it albeit in French. Sorry OP, what a horrible shock. Take your time to plan if you can.

P0PTARTS · 21/11/2025 20:02

I showed chat gpt. It said this

It looks like the torn-open wrapper of a condom.

Clues from the image:

  • The word “LATEX” inside a droplet icon.
  • “1 pres…” / “preservativo” (Spanish/Italian/Portuguese for condom).
  • The small, square textured foil and zig-zag edge are typical of single condom wrappers.
lolly427 · 21/11/2025 20:02

Yes it's a condom wrapper, the word in the top corner looks like preservatif which is french for condom.

Shouldbedoing · 21/11/2025 20:02

Sadly I think that is a condom wrapper. Americans used to call them 'preservatives' and that's what's written on it.

JudgeBread · 21/11/2025 20:02

Being very generous it could be from a suppository or like... One of those blackhead nose strip things. Maybe.

Google AI reckons it's a johnny though.

Actually, there is a time where it is recommended, but it still doesn't bode well for the OP. Let's say you have a recently separated man who, for the longest time, hasn't been using condoms with his now ex. He might experience some ED when he tries to use them with new partners. Something that is recommended in this instance is that he uses them to masturbate to get used to the feel.

Those aren’t made of latex though

IfItsPink · 21/11/2025 20:03

I think in the first picture there is half the word “preservatif”. Which is French for condom. Not sure how I actually know that!

EmeraldSloth · 21/11/2025 20:04

Definitely a condom wrapper. Sorry @Bugsandbeds 😔
