Excellent Non Hormonal Birth Control By LJohnson on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
After having not used birth control in over 5 years, I was a bit overwhelmed with all the options now available. Since I was nursing our daughter, I didn't want to use any type of hormonal birth control, and it was going to be a while before my husband would follow through on his promise of getting the big "V", so we decided to try out condoms.
After being very unsatisfied with a regular box of condoms - they smelled like latex gloves and seemed to be very thick, which I'm sure we all know doesn't feel very good, I picked up a box of Durex Extra Thin, Lubricated condoms to try out. They claimed to be 20% thinner than other condoms, and they utilized some special multi-layer technology. When used correctly, they are claimed to be over 98% effective, which is always good!
I have no way of measuring the "thickness" of condoms to know if in fact these are the 20% thinner than they claimed to be, but I will say that they seemed to be thinner than the other condoms that we had previously used. There was a slight rubbery smell when they first come out of the package, but it disappeared quickly. The comfort of these Durex condoms was great, and I think this will be our condom of choice until hubby gets a vasectomy!

Oh boy! I get to be the first to comment here, lol! Well, let me first say that my husband and I occasionally use condoms. The ones that seem to be the best for us are LifeStyles Ultra Sensitive Condoms. They are very thin but very strong. But, whenever money is tight, I just use the ones that the health department have in brown paper bags in their bathrooms.
Durex are surely the trusted brand in condom, thanks for sharing that good info.
Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us.
