What's the best condom?

StephenInsane · 2004-05-13 21:24:58

I've tried loads and have had varying results. I feel you can't beat durex fetherlite though, altough they may snap? This has never happened to me, but i've heard of it happening. All feed back and suggestions welcome.

I think the Durex Avanti are by far the best. They are very expensive but worth every cent.

Just incase you have a big cock here's a size chart:

Is that the only size avanti's are available in? They would be WAY too tight for me.

You measure your cock to the millimetre? Roffle.

Avanti's are AFAIK a little bigger than your average condom, but they need to be, as the stuff they're made of isn't as stretchy as latex. I've only ever had one break on me, and even that's a bit weird, as I tried to break one with my fingers once to test them and it wasn't easy. I haven't tried the Trojan XLs as I don't like latex condoms (like shagging with a tesco bag on tbh).

Avanti's, although a bit snug, are your only man. SILLY expensive though :mad:

Don't like using em, I know stupid but its more fun!
but Avanti are probably the best, and I think you can use em in water aswell, which you cant with latex!!

Condoms should be free, might actually cut down on teenage pregnancies!!

Yes, I find in my case this certainly is the best form of contraception. Unfortunately.

<Sigh> I'm so alone.

You mean oil.

Water + latex = good (KY Jelly -> water-based)
Oil + latex = bad (Petroleum jelly -> oil -based)

Does anyone have any experience with using condoms in a salt-water environment? Or under water?

Anyone know if it is dodgy or if it might risk it breaking or anythin like that

thing is that site is still ten times the price of the one I posted. It must be the NHS subsidising it or something.

I was hoping for a site that reflected prices similar to the English one-which i presumed was subsidised. Was wondering do/why doesn't irlgov do likewise? Save them a fortune on single mother benefits...

A good UK based online condom store is:
http://www.bigboycondoms.co.uk/

They will ship to Ireland and have a very good range of products (including the Trojan Magnum and Magnum XL)

Isn't that supoosed to be potentially dangerous for the woman?
Something to do with water being forced through the cervix or something similar?

possibly a very very small chance of infection - but more likely to get an infection from the spermicide mixing with salt water.. or just the saltwater..
