    Asked this in AH aswell but thought I may get a decent response here.

    Do any of you lads know where to get smaller condoms in Dublin?

    Can't seem to find them and don't want to buy online...

    Dont bother with condoms.

    Why the aversion to buying online?Im sure there are lots of reputable stores that cater for every type of size.Might be easier than trapsing from shop to shop.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 166 ✭✭A19B1C12


    I'd just rather buy them in the shop.

    I figured some shop must sell them...not bothered if I have to buy online tbh.

    Just checking first!

    This website is pretty decent for condoms http://www.smartpaddy.ie/acatalog/index.html

    Also, Have you tried durex fetherlite? I don't mean this to make me sound like an idiot, but I tried them once and they were too tight on me. They are smaller than regular condoms. Maybe they might suit you? They are available pretty much everywhere.

    i was going to say durex ribbed, find them horribly tight.

    also, isnt that condompower shop in Dublin? Im sure they'd stock small ones.

    amiable, this isn't AH. don't post like that in here again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,770 ✭✭✭Bottle_of_Smoke


    Find the website of a sex shop near you and email them to see if they stock them.

    Or email a pharmacy to see if they sell them. To be honest be bit of a disgrace if they don't

    I wouldn't see it that way myself, not as a disgrace. They're under no obligation to stock all sizes, there's simply too much variation in the general public to cater for everybody. That said, I would certainly appreciate where others are coming from on this, and it would be nice if a pharmacist looked at the possibility of getting them in if asked (anonymously or otherwise).

    The OP never specified if they're looking for condoms with smaller length or a smaller girth either. But I'd go with the suggestion of featherlight, it's a bit tighter than regular/extra-safe in my own experience. As for length, well just leave the excess rolled up at the base, so I hope it's not a self-esteem issue regarding that.

    I imagine that he is on about slippage.
    My recomendation would have been condompower. A company named as such should have experience

    I suppose it is something I'd just expect to have a bit of ethics about. Basically most guys would hate requesting them (and bigger guys may feel too embarrased asking for large ones too)

    End result most guys who don't fit the average end up using condoms that don't fit, and therefore more likely to fail.

    Never thought about it like that, definitely makes sense now.

    I find the new Featherlight Ultra a bit tight to be honest. They're worth a try.

    If someone wants them drop me a pm. I've got 2 boxes i can't use.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,995 ✭✭✭Sofiztikated


    I bought some online, can't remember the name of the site just this instant, and they're a bit of a snug fit.

    As for buying them in a shop, I'd try CondomPower, wouldn't even waste my time trying other shops. People are a bit stupid when it comes to them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,780 ✭✭✭JohnK


    Theres an online shop called British Condoms that sell all sorts of sample packs which include a few different types in each pack, http://www.britishcondoms.co.uk/assorted-condom-packs/. Might be the one Sofiztikated is thinking of, they have a Snug Fit Sampler http://www.britishcondoms.co.uk/condom-multi-packs/snug-fit-sampler.html

    +1 on the britishcondoms

    they have a brand called my size which does many sizes

    http://www.britishcondoms.co.uk/my-size/


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34 Average_Joe


    So OP, the question everyone wants to know, how small is it?
    Is it the size of tube of lipstick or perhaps your pinky??:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,925 ✭✭✭Otis Driftwood


    Average_Joe,despite two on thread warnings about posting AH type rubbish you did it anyway.I suggest you read our charter before posting here in future.

    Thanks,

    I buy off ebay.
    Lots of good sellers there and they all know to use discrete packaging and have super fast delivery. Look for the ones with stores and lots of feedback

    If you're looking for a brand OP, Durex Close Fit is one of them

    You could maybe buy a sample pack off ebay, cost you less then a fiver.
    Just a trial at little cost


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,205 ✭✭✭cruizer101


    Durex Ribbed, Durex Sensation, and from others it also seems featherlite, I wasn't aware of that one, all have a smaller nominal size, i think they call it.

    This doesn't seem to be a widely advertised fact, i even once looked for the information on durex website but to no avail, I baffled why they don't have it there, but if you check the back of the packs it does say it.

    Normal ones are 56mm, the sensation are 52mm, I think ribbed are 54. Doesn't sound like much but makes a difference.

    Mates strangly enough don't seem to have any ones that are smaller.

    Mates Conform Condoms. Mates is more popular across the border in NI Boots/Supermarkets etc. Ive not really seen the brand around Dublin myself.

    Also to the person who suggests ebay. I would not trust ebay for safety/quality of condoms. You do not know if they are copies from China?? How do you know if they are genuine real brand condoms? There are alot of copies on ebay.

    Condoms is not something I would like to risk safety or quality on. Condoms are there to decrease the spread of STD and pregnancy. Therefore, I think its not an area to cut corners and take a risk with potential copies...its much better to buy from a good well know reputable supplier.

    +1 I would never, ever buy condoms from ebay. There are a few sites which are genuine and provide legitimate product. If I were to buy online, it would only be from them.
