Most comfortable condom?

    Hi guys, perhaps you can provide me some input here on what you find most comfortable. I’ve never used with a partner before due to using alternative birth control methods but they’re not an option right now, hence the need to use condoms in the shorter term.

    My partner used them previously (number of years ago) but found he sometimes lost erection when putting them on and generally considered them an inconvenience. Size wise I think he’s on the high side of average, not sure if that could be the issue but any suggestions are welcome.

    Thanks

    lynx large from boots are the only one i'd use nowadays, Non-latex also.

    I generally found it very uncomfortable and awkward putting on condoms until I realised they actually have different sizes even tho the packs themselves are very similar. Once I went up a size from the pack I already had I found it much more comfortable.

    If you're partner has issues getting them on then I'd suggest at least going up a size.

    Skyn, which you can get in Boots. Wouldn't go back to Durex at this stage.

    non latex may be good for various reasons - e.g. I prefer a natural lube, for which we need to use non latex condoms --> from above, skyn works for us.

    These are the best if you are on the larger size , contrary to popular belief, one size doesn’t fit all.

    If his issue is that he finds them uncomfortable, he might need a bigger size as suggested above. However, you’ve said he finds them an inconvenience which is a different matter. Generally it stopping in the middle of the act to put one on which people find inconvenient, one suggestion to overcome this would be to have it close to hand and for you to help him put it on. It’ll make it be more of the fun rather than an inconvenient stoppage
