TTC After a Loss

Condoms

AHH! Only three condoms left at home. What are your recommendations? We need to try a different one after these are done.

    On a total AW side note tho, I fucking hate that I have condom recommendations. I had never used a condom until we were benched after this last loss. I plan on literally burning them when we are able to TTC again. Do condoms burn? 
    I think they burn... I smell a science experiment!

    Also, I second hating condoms. We ditched them after our wedding and have never looked back... until now.

    edit: because I forgot I have to use them now. Boo!

  • I think we use one of the thin Trojans. Mh likes the his and her pleasure ones but honestly it makes no difference to me at all. I don't like the ones that warm, down there is not a place I want burning! That's something you see a dr for

    @EurydiceNymph‌ maybe just burn the box? ;)

    @EurydiceNymph According to a fairly disturbing google image search, yes, condoms do burn. I don't always make the best decisions.

    ***** All ALers welcome *****

  • MH and I tried condoms once. We spend 35 minutes in the condom aisle trying to figure out wtf to get. We ended up getting some Trojan variety pack of a stupid amount of 30 (I had high hopes for HIO..a lot). We used one, for maybe 2 minutes. He took it off, threw it away and now I have 29 fucking condoms sitting in my dresser. 

    I did use the sheep skin ones in the past and those were the best I ever had tried but they say you have to be careful with them, they break easier than others. :-/
    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site. 



  • Like others, the hubby and I are not fans of condoms either, but we had to TTA for a couple of months after the MC.  So we used Trojan Ultra Thin condoms along with the Trojan purple bottle of lube (I think it is "Arouses and Intensifies".  It doesn't feel greasy like some others and really helped both of us (especially hubby who normally can't with condoms) with finishing even though we were stuck having to use condoms.

  • Another one in the "we hate condoms" camp. 
    But we did get a box of the trojan ultra thins. They seem to be the most tolerable of the ones we've tried. We did try the Fire & Ice ones once and omg the smell. Completely turned me off to them.

  • Thanks again for the continued responses. DH and I definitely are in the hate condoms club, but have to be there for now. I get so paranoid that it is coming off and have drying issues (yes we have found lubes to help), so we are going to try another style next. Got some ideas here. :D

  • Just a note... I did some more research and found that there is a brand called Sir Richard. Word on the street is that they have no condom smell. I told this to MH and he said "buy them." Both of us feel that everyone in the world can tell we've had sex if we use condoms because even if we shower the latex is all we could smell.

    I'll give an update on what I think as soon as we get to try them!
