condom question

LegacyUser

Does anyone know if you can be allergic to certain condom types?
Tried a new type saturday night, and have had a bad reaction since...

any ideas?

Normally people who have problems with them are allergic to latex but if you have used latex condoms before perhaps you had a reaction to a lubricant or spermicide in that particular brand.

I had something like that before.. I just got a prescribtion for a steroid based anti-fungal cream from the doctor and all was well

Cling film or a Tayto bag will probably work better. Unless you're allergic to crisps.

I know there is non latex condoms made by Durex. I forget the name but they're fairly expensive- will probably limit you to having sex once a month.*




*Buying these condoms does not guarantee you will have sex once a month.

There's always one; any mention of condoms and some genius mentions tayto bags.

Award for most repetitive/unoriginal/unfunny post, in the world ....ever! :rolleyes:

You're probably thinking of Durex Avanti.

I'm guessing that the "new type" that you tried was one from a machine in a pub or club toilet? If so I reckon it was maybe just the fact that it was just a cheap brand and your little soldier just took a reaction to whatever spermicides/lubricants they used.
If you have used Condoms before and had no reaction I wouldn't say you are allergic to latex. So the best thing to do would be to go back to using the ones that you've used before when ever you're getting down to some belly-slapping.

P.S. if the problem persists, Go to the Doctor!!

it isn't nesacarly the the latex you are allergic to it could be the lube used on that brand of condom. Non oxnonal 9 is still used on some condoms and some people are allergic to that

SOL

sure you weren't using those performa ones with benzocaine? they mightn't have gone down so well?

try non spermicidal ones

Durex Avanti are the ones. They are a bit more expensive but worth it if you're in pain. Only used them once or twice but found them a bit small.

Condoms that are lubricated with spermicidal lubricant have a warning on them that they are not for regular useage.

You're probably better off getting the non-spermicidal lubricated ones.

Don't buy **** pub condoms. It's worth paying a bit extra for a more reliable brand.
