    Now this thread is relevant to something I have wanted to know.

    Ok now this is a GENUINE question.

    I have always wondered this. As a female and wanting to be ahem safe....how do you know which condoms to carry ..I mean would not everyman have his size/preference...how do you know which to get?

    Trust me, cant go wrong with durex featherlite or ultralite. It'll do 96% of Irish men just fine.

    I know in Dundrum it -tends- to be just Durex, but that's just from running in and needing to pick up a pack the odd time. Might have just been unlucky with what was in stock (and didn't know Skyn are non-latex), but I'd go seriously out of my way to get rid of that thick band of borderline blood clotting tightness!!

    In fairness if you were *in* the pharmacist already you probably SHOULD have asked first. I think there are laws against that sort of thing!

    problem buying half inch sized condoms isit?
    The problem is that no one would buy them.

    But fear not, you can buy them discretely.

    I havent read the whole thread so it may have already been mentioned, Condom Power on Dame St has condoms for every shape and size under the sun and helpful staff too.

    Its the only place Ive found that caters for the, ahem, wider gentleman ;)

    OP: Trojan and Passante are two brands Id recommend

    Well IvaWideWun hasnt got as nice a ring to it ;)

    Re: Condom Power on Dame St, I forgot to mention that if you get them on a good day they'll throw in a good few free loose condoms in addition to the boxed ones you just bought.

    A great bunch of lads

    I think one of the reasons shops don't often sell smaller sizes is that it could be seen as encouraging underage sex. Durex tried to sell condoms specifically marketed for younger teens and they got a whole lot of hassle over it.

    Or better still, she could go into the chemist and ask have they got any XXL condoms. They'd probably say, "Yes, would you like to buy some?" Then she could say "No, but do you mind if I wait around until someone does buy them?"
