condom question

(Anonymous) 2016-09-08 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
If I, as a woman, wanted to keep a small supply of condoms on-hand, what would I go for? Is keeping more than one on hand size a must? Do I not bother and just leave it to the guy or expect to be making a last-minute run to the store? I've never had sex in my own apartment outside of an on-going relationship, so "Did you bring a condom?" is not a question I've ever found myself needing to ask but might have to soon.

It's useful to have some, you'll thank yourself if it comes down to it and you don't have to run out to the store because both parties assumed the other would provide. I wouldn't want to make a generalisation about whether guys tend to carry condoms or not; I'd assume they would, because they must know partners will generally want them to wear them?? but, who knows. *shrugs* My partner always brings his own, but I always take some too, just in case he forgets, or some break, or we want to do it more than once.

If you're in the UK you can get them for free from your GP, I'm not sure what Planned Parenthood or other non-UK based sexual health services offer but it's worth looking.

As for different brands etc. I would just go with the most standard kind. Buy a box, keep them on hand. Your partner might have a different type they prefer, in which case they'll probably have them already. It's always good to be taking an active role in your contraception though, whatever form it takes.

Condoms are pretty much one-size-fits-all, so I wouldn't worry about size. If you have a favorite brand, go with that. If not, just pick a good basic type - I like ones with spermicide, personally - and go with that. If the dude wants something different, he can bring his own.

I do personally believe that a sexually active woman who uses condoms should always have her own supply.

Not exactly. They'll "fit" all dicks, but a regular size condom won't fit a huge dick comfortably. If it's too small, it can tear more easily, too from being stretched.

Most guys are not going to have a dick big enough for it to be an issue. If it is an issue, you make a last minute run to the store or he brings his own. But in 98 out of 100 cases, it's just not going to be a problem.

True. Just pointing out that the old sex ed line about "if a guy says he needs a bigger condom, he's lying because watch this condom stretch over a zucchini/my fist/a basketball/whatever" is misleading.

The average person is more likely to run into guys who think their dicks are too big for regular condoms and are hilariously mistaken than guys whose dicks actually ARE too big for regular condoms. I wouldn't sweat it.

I think women having condoms is a good idea, even if the man also has one. It is your sex life, and being safe is important. I don't think more than one size is necessary though. If the guy really needs a different size than your average condom I think the guy can supply his own. Just get your favorite.

always buy your own condoms! just don't buy too much in case you don't end up using them, because they have an expiring date

I don't trust guys who keep condoms in their wallets because they tend to break

stick to regular/medium size, 9 times out of 10 it will be more than adequate

DO NOT BUY flavored condoms because you'll get a yeast infection
