Anyone recommend any condoms that don't feel to plastic and give more of a natural feel?

I have a coil too. Didn't find it very uncomfortable going in (had 3 vaginal births). Periods were VERY heavy for 4 or 5 months, but fine now. Had it nearly 2 years now and so far so good!

No condoms feel natural, more like having a bath with your socks on.

But he agrees with HD - all crap!

You don't have to 'stop' and put in a diaphragm. You can put it is ages before you start to have sex.

And diaphragms and caps are slightly different but work in similar ways.

They are both slightly less effective than the condom but don't protect you from STDs

Janbo25 · 13/09/2005 21:37

diaphragm where do you get that from then?

Some doctors will fir them, but many will send yu to the local family planning clinic. You have to have the right size and be taught how to put it in, dead asy as long as you don't mind fiddling with your bits !

You have to use a spermicide as well.

You can't feel it when it is in place, and neither can your partner.

Not a good choice if getting pg would be a disater....but then niether in the condom
