DISCLAIMER - In no way shape or form am I saying condoms are bad. They are one of the best prevention techniques for pregnancy and std's. Condoms as a category are an awesome thing that my life would surely suxors without.
Latex condoms. Wonderful devices that I highly promote the use of, but I also secretly hate. I love the wonderful pregnancy and std protection they provide, and my only complaints are aesthetic in nature. The smell, taste and feel are all kind of disgusting to me, but I most certainly would never disregard using one, even though I'm on my birth control again. So I set out in search of a condom that doesn't have the other icky qualities, and at the pharmacy counter of my local Rainbow(food library grocery store) i found
these. Thought what the fuck, let's give it a try as both my partner (formerly HGAW) and I are STD free. Fucking sweet i tell you. A little different as they are made of natural membrane, so there is no resevior tip (remember to leave some space for the spermies gentlemen) but they don't leave any smells and it feels fucking great! He agreed enthusiastically when I asked if we should keep purchasing them, so we went to Rainbow to pick up more and...they were out. So we went to Walgreens, where the same condoms which cost 6.99/12 at rainbow cost 39.99/12.
w..t...f..
Everywhere else I have looked they are at least 2-3 times the price of latex condoms, so needless to say, I'm fucking going to Rainbow for all my condom needs.
