My partner and I have used many types of condoms in our relationship and we kept running into the same problem: I'd have an adverse reaction to it.

Originally we used condoms with spermicide because I was not on birth control at the time. But let's face it, the burning and stinging it caused was killing my mood. So we switched to plain lubricated Trojans. Same reaction! The pain was almost unbearable. I know I made him stop more than once in the middle of the action. We could not figure out for anything why this was happening. I insisted on having some sort of lubricated condom for my comfort, but time and time again I'd have a burning sensation. I know for a fact I don't have a latex allergy, so the only possible solution was the lubricate.

So gals, if you're having a similar problem here's my advice:
Grab these and explore the wide world of WATER based lubricants. (KY jelly is a good example.) These are quality made like all Trojan condoms but come dry. There is absolutely nothing on them. If you don't require any lubricant then you're locked and loaded as is. If you do need some lube, do the research and splurge just a little on a good water based, non flavored lubricant.

Remember, anything other than water based lube could degrade the latex of the condom, so steer clear of oils and check the label. If it doesn't say what it is, don't take the chance. Also, on a personal hygiene note, some flavored lubricants contain sugar which will give a girl a yeast infection. That's just not fun. It may seem like a drag to have to purchase separate lubricant, but I assure you it's worth it. A little goes a long way- a tiny bottle will last you darn near forever. As an added bonus applying it to each other can be quite sensual foreplay. Get creative and that extra purchase is like buying a new toy.

As a public service reminder, let me be clear that these come with nothing but latex. So if these are your main form of birth control PLEASE make sure you and your partner are using them properly and are ensuring a good fit. I have never, ever had a Trojan condom break on me but I have had them slip off my partner because we switched positions. Until you get comfortable on how this product will act in a given activity, I strongly suggest having an alternative form of birth control on hand.

These were a life-saver for my sex life. My problems were solved the second we switched to these non-lubricated condoms. Thank goodness!

We've been using these for several months now and I'm still pain free! Thank goodness this option is readily available! Also, I find that applying a little extra lube isn't a burden at all. With creativity, it's fun and sexy. :D
