My girlfriend and I are planning to have sex. It is both of ours first time. I need the magnum sized condom but she won't have sex unless we use a spermicidal condom... which is not in magnum size. So which condom do I choose?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Answer:
thumbs up for wanting to protect yourselves! try buying spermicidal lubricant separately and adding a drop or two inside the condom. actually, though, research indicates that non-spermicidal condoms are equally effective to those with spermicide as long as they are used correctly. this means that you don't rip or tear them, there is enough natural or water-based lube so as not to break them, and you pinch the air out of the tip when putting it on. also, spermicide can be very irritating.
i would highly suggest that your girlfriend consider hormonal borth control, such as the pill, patch, shot or ring, in addition to condoms. perhaps you should both visit a local family planning clinic to discuss all of your options. they often have many forms of contraceptived available at low cost and can give you advice. congratulations on being responsible and enjoy!
If you don't use the correct size, the condom could burst or tear. She can buy spermacid in either foam, vaginal inserts or jelly. Please, be sure to follow the instructions carefully/
Spermicidals in a condom is just an extra feature. Any condom is sufficient as long as it is made in latex. Use water based personal lubricants like K-Y Jelly or Astroglide. Do not use oil based lubricants like baby oil, lotions, petroleum jelly and others. This can irritate the vagina and damage the condom.
If she wants to be sure, she should have sex with you just after her menstrual period. There is a certain number of days after which a woman is infertile and can not be become pregnant.
Check with fertility clinics.
Trojan ENZ has spermicide
Damn they don't sell them anymore! Shows how long its been since i've bought them, I used to get them all the time, sorry!
use the magnum size
you can buy spermicidal foam or patches, or spray to use with it
A condom should fit like a glove. Not too tight but not so loose it can fall off either. you know your body better than anyone else. Using the wrong size condom (too big OR too small) is not safe.
Also not always safe is the spermicide nonoxynol-9.
lifestyles and other brands offer a variety of sizes. you can also get separate spermicidal jelly or foam to use with the condoms you already use.
