What brand of condoms work best for you and your partner? So yeah, what's your favorite kind(s) of condoms? My bf and I recently started using condoms and it just don't feel the same. After one time of using condoms we just went to the pull out method, which yes I know is not a good way of birth control. It just really wasn't that pleasurable for the both of us. I know it probably never will feel the same as not having one, but we need something that's close to it until I can start my birth control pills. Thanks!
Is just using condoms as a contraceptive for 5 years effective?

How effective are condoms as the only means of birth control? Hello. I am writing regarding the use of condoms for birth control. My partner and I have always been very careful when having sexual intercourse, and we always use condoms. However, I am not on birth control. I worry often that I am pregnant, even though we always use condoms and they have never come off or broken. I just wondered if anyone could personally tell me if I have anything to worry about. Are condoms effective if always used and used correctly? Would I notice if it broke? Thank you.
What is the exact brand of condoms to buy for large penises? My boyfriend has a really thick penis and he has such a hard time (no pun intended!) finding condoms that fit.

For all of you bigger guys out there, can you please refer me to the brand of condoms that you use?
Are some latex condoms more irritating to the skin than others? I am allergic to latex, but not severly. Not even close. But i put on a durex extra sensitive and i got a SMALL rash, nothing too bad.

How many of you are using polyurethane condoms as your only form of birth control? I'm allergic to latex, so we use polyurethane condoms along with the Nuvaring as a method of birth control.

We've been using them for about two months and they've never broken or slipped off.

What is the best form of contraception besides condoms? First off, thank you for helping, but please save the "Dont have sex" and "use condoms" for someone else. I would just like to know the best form of contraception that doesnt involve condoms, basically a way I can go in bareback, release, and not have a baby. I know of such solutions like BC pills, but Ive also heard of spermicide, and the morning after pill. I would like information on all three, and which would work best. Also I would like to know about the ovulation period and which time the girl is least fertile. Thank you. So I heard BC pills, how are they supposed to be used? And Ive also heard about the nuva ring or whatever, how is that used? I need times too. And I also heard 5 days after ovulation. Is that the first 5 days afters or I should wait 5 days after? Try to be as specific as possible. Alright so I heard nuva ring and rythm are the best. When does the nuva ring go in? Before or after sex? And please go into mroe detail about the ryhtm method.

Does anyone have any recommendation on any condom brands we can use.

What are the strongest condoms available? I already know that there are many brands available (Trojan, Lifestyle, Durex, etc). Out of all the different brands, which ones are least likely to break? Are the ultra-thin condoms more likely to break than standard condoms? How about condoms that already have lubricant on them? Does the lubricant make them more likely or less likely to break? Also, which material is stronger: lambskin or latex (yes, I know that lambskins don't protect against STDs)? Thanks in advance.

Are certain types of condoms more likely to cause a bladder infection? My girlfriend has gotten three in the last month and a half - all have been fairly mild, but she is of course frustrated. We have since lowered the frequency of our intercourse (we are a fairly new couple, so it has been rather intense) and so far she has not had one. Still, after each time we have intercourse, I am paranoid about her getting an infection again (they have always become apparent the next morning). I use Trojan brand condoms with a spermicide - is there any relation between her bladder infections and the type of condom I am using? She is getting more vitamin C and drinking more fluids, but I still worry. I would like to enjoy sex as frequently as we like and without this paranoia about her getting another infection.
How soon after taking antibiotics is it okay to not use condoms when on the pill? I've been on the pill for almost half a year and recently I came down with strep throat and was prescribed antibiotics.

I got him to use them a couple of times but he only agreed because I wasn't on birth control at the time. What do I say to him? I'm 19, he's 23, we've been together for about a year and a half. Thanks.

How do you buy condoms at Walgreens without being afraid you'll run into someone?

Thank you.

I think they really have to do better research on condoms because I've heard different things from lots of people; either that or I have to stop talking to stupid people.´
How can people allergic to latex condoms have safe sex? My old sex ed teacher said that the person allergic to latex has sheepskin condoms and then the latex goes either under or over (depending on whom has the allergy) that. I know that two latex condoms have a greater chance of breaking, but does this mean that a latex and a sheepskin will also have a greater chance of breaking? My health teacher says yes, but my former sex ed teacher says that the sheepskin/latex combination works. Who's right? I only want people who know what they are talking about to answer-not someone who heard about it from a friend's friend in a locker room somewhere.
