Need advice on condoms!

    I thought I would go unreg for this one:

    I have this issue with condoms. Its not that I don't want to use them, its that I had a bad experience with them. I find them hard to get on. I ended up hurting the little guy in the process and loosing an erection.

    I have tried placing it directly on the tip and trying to slide it back but I find this very unconfortable and sometimes sore as its sensitive on the top.

    Do you need to unroll some of it first, stretch it out and place it over the penis?

    I also found it a bit tight, I don't have a particularly big penis but perhaps I need a wider one. I am not really sure!

    This is the cause of much embarrassment and I am afraid to get intimate with a girl in case this comes up.

    Any advice would be very helpful.

    Thanks

    maybe the condoms you're using are too small?


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,662 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    Try a larger size condom


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 340 ✭✭The Song Thrush


    It sounds like you're not putting them on right.

    You don't unroll them or stretch them out before you place them on the penis. You also don't pull/stretch them on like you would pull socks onto your feet.

    When you take it out of the packet, place it on the head of the penis as it is, pinch the condom at the tip to leave some room at the top, and roll the condom down the penis (don't stretch/pull) as if you were rolling an elastic band down. Remember to leave a bit of room at the top of the condom.

    Hope that helps.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    Yeah the room at the top is important.

    If it hurts you can go into any pharmacy and get a larger size.

    And make sure to order them in a loud, proud voice too :)

    Bigger condoms are pretty expensive in Ireland, especially American brands (Trojan etc). If it turns out that this is the problem, you can order extra-size European brands online, e.g. Condomi XXL (more like L than XXL tbh).

    read the booklet thingy that comes with the condoms...theres ur answer right there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,691 ✭✭✭garthv


    Aye the booklet and possibly bigger condoms will solve all problems


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,106 ✭✭✭turbot


    Durex Extra safe are a little bit wider than many other brands (54mm vs 50mm) which does make a difference in comfort.

    Also, though you might need to go to an adult shop to get them, Trojan Magnum's are also larger and more comfortable.

    I suggest;
    - buy a large pack of Trojan magnum condoms
    - use a few learning to put these on perfectly

    If condom width is the issue, think of it like this. It would be hard to walk around comfortably wearing shoes two sizes too small.....

    "EXCUSE ME!! BUT DON'T YOU HAVE CONDOMS IN ANY SIZE OTHER THAN ****ING TINY?? i NEED AT LEAST XXXL FOR MY TROJANESQUE MANHOOD, I MEAN REALLY!?!"

    ROFL :D
    I recommend trojan magnums
    if the guy is too big never mind hurting him,the condom will break :eek: :eek:
    so for the sake of the girl too get the trojans availible in boots


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 669 ✭✭✭spunkymunky


    What about the Durex comfort line, there also a little bigger. think there a bit wider.
    If it hurts the little fella there buy some and try them on at home, get the practice in early and then when you really need them you'll be a pro. Remember practice makes perfect!!!:D

    Also when putting it on strectch it a little over the head and then slide it down. Just watch the nails!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,306 ✭✭✭NeMiSiS


    Trojans are 3 for 2 in Boots..

    yip, with little pictures and all ( or are you protesting a certain innocence)

    Mates are wider than Durex.

    Whatever you do buy a reputable brand, otherwise what's the point? Practise!

    And it really shouldnt put you off getting intimate with a girl, if she's nice enough to wanna have sex with she's not gonna laugh/get fed up etc if a problem does.......arise?

    She can help out ya know. Even mentioning it within the right context could be the precursor to some fun.


    Could be worse. I realised I was allergic to latex, would swell up :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,012 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Thanks guys.

    I never heard of them trojan ones. Think I will stick to Durex or Mates.

    Perhaps I do need a bigger size! That sounds great! I find it very difficult to buy condoms in the first place let alone asking for xtra-large!

    Although, I presumed the larger sized condoms were more in lenght than width?

    Don't get me wrong I aint claiming I have a huge thingy but perhaps a slightly wider one would be easier to get on.

    Don't ever apologise for having a huge thingy, I know i don't....apologise that is HA! :D

    Trojans are your best bet here, Magnum xxl are good too, very thick though. The condom store is a good place to go, you can take your time buying one. Never go near the Durex ones when your locked, just dont have sex. You will either break it or just say fúck it and go for it.

    There is a brand for sale in some of the "shops" in town, they are Thai made, reliable. Thinner than magnums and trojans but very wide and long fitting. They dont fall off either. My advice is buy one or two packs of the aformentioned and spend a little quality time with yourself figuring out which one suits you. better to practice in private before taking centre stage.

    I found an IRISH site called www.lovehoney.ie. I was going to purchase them Trojan Magnum ones but they wanted to charge me €15 for delievery!!! MADNESS!

    Anyway, I doubt I would need the Trojan Magnum XL. The normal Trojan Magnums are a little wider which should be ok.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,012 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Oh, I also found www.condomsdirect.ie which seem to be cheap

    I found that to put it on in advance helps...before :mad: the little general gets too eh pumped up.... a sprinkle of talc over the flagpole also helps(not on the top)... Then you are ready for action when the bugle sounds for battle:D :D

    Oh... not too far in advance.. and a big intake of beer not advised...


    Go for it bigboy:eek:

    Biggest load of cr ap I heard lately TBH. Do not try this at home. FlutterinBantam, have you tried ground white pepper instead of talc. It gets you hot.

    [joke]

    Guy walks in to shop, asks (in a loud voice): 'What size condoms do you sell?'

    Assistant replies (in an equally loud voice): 'Condom sizes? We sell small, medium, and LIAR!'

    Well its better than asking for extra small! wheres the shame? You dont have to "ask" anybody in tescos. Durex comfort are a large size similar to magnums. Then magnum XL's are bigger again, they are hard to get here, you pick them up in the states cheaply. The larger sizes are for girth more than length. A circumference of over 5.25" and you probably should use magnum/comfort. Over 5.5" and it should be magnum XL.

    OP if your having trouble putting it one maybe you should check out these. Just seen them today look like the way to go

    Wouldnt be surprised if you were putting them on inside out.
    If you can get it on a bit but then it gets "stuck" - wont roll down any further you probably have it on inside out, an easy mistake to make

    Get the Comdomi XXL ones. They're only a few mm bigger, but it can make all the difference.
    Plus if your gf doesn't have much experience, she'll be impressed by the XXL written on the box.

    But wouldn't they be too long!

    I don't have a girl at the moment but if she saw XXL on the box she would be expecting a huge beast of a thingy. haha

    I have reluctant to try brands other than the well known Durex, Mates or maybe Trojan. Just in case!

    Not a good idea here IMO. These condoms are much harder to put on than latex ones, and while they're a bit bigger than regular condoms, they barely stretch at all. I used to use these (regular durex is like shagging with a bin bag on) until I used bigger latex ones and realized how restrictive the avantis are.

    might seem like a stupid question, but are you putting them on properly? becasue there impossible to get on if you do it backwards!!!
    Also Durex choke the life out of your lad, try mates and preferably not the extra strenght ones. I think mates are cheaper aswel.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,817 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    i'm having a similar problem. tried durex extra safe, but theyre not wide enough. i went to boots to look for those trojan ones, but they were narrower than the extra safe.
    the extra safe were 56mm, the trojan's they had there (not trojan magnums, some other ones) were only 52mm, and so were the mates.
    i pretty annoyed that i have to run all over town tryin to find some wide enough. does anyone know what shops sell the trojan magnums?
    please help (as quickly as possible ;) )
