"We use them and they are spot on.
Try Super Drug, Asda, Body Care etc as the prices seem better there. Shop about first, we would highly recommend them."
Thanks I'll have a look at those ! |

"Excellent, the large size actually fit and don't cut off your circulation like regular ones."
As far as latex-free goes they are probably the best. I wouldn't agree about the large size though. Length wise you're right, they are bob-on. But width-wise they tend to strangle my chap a tad.
The best ones I ever got were called Okeido (or something similar) from a family planning centre in Hull about ten years ago but I've not seen them anywhere recently.
Funnily enough the cheapest large range at superdrug are rather nice.  |

Yes they are really good, i started using them because i was having alot of pain after parties and meets so just switched to those to check it out, they have improved things a bit, but as a condom Mark says they are great, good amount of feeling yet they feel secure and also latex free which is a bonus.
You can get the regular sized ones from the NHS freedoms site for 19.99 for 72... so you'll never run out lol... |

Have you tried 'My Size'? They come in a range of sizes up to 69mm dia.

"i have used them and like them.
also avoid condoms which have the chemical NONOXYNOL-9 in them.
it can cause vaginal yeast infections.
It can cause skin lesions!!! 
Makes me bleed  "
Yeeeeeks! Do you know which of the more generally available ones have that in them?

It's usually on the extra safe ones. If it says spermicidally lubricated then it's got it.
It also melts nail polish (so if your.polish goes tacky and cloudy after a session that's why) and irritates my mouth. |

Just found the wiki page for N-9 - take a look at the side effects section copied below ..... a little 'worrying'.....
"From 1996 to 2000, a UN-sponsored study conducted in several locations in Africa followed nearly 1,000 sex workers who used nonoxynol-9 gels or a placebo. The HIV infection rate among those using nonoxynol-9 was about 50% higher than those who used the placebo; those using nonoxynol-9 also had a higher incidence of vaginal lesions, which may have contributed to this increased risk. Whereas these results may not be directly applicable to lower-frequency use, these findings combined with lack of any demonstrated HIV-prevention benefit from nonoxynol-9 use have led most major health agencies to recommend that it no longer be used by women at high risk of HIV infection. The WHO further notes that "Nonoxynol-9 offers no protection against sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhoea, chlamydia."[2]
Regular use of nonoxynol-9 appears also to increase the risk of infection with sexually transmitted human papillomaviruses (HPVs) that can cause cervical cancer.[3][4] In one of the studies, researchers at the National Cancer Institute also reported that the increased likelihood of HPV infection caused by N-9 was mitigated through the use of carrageenan-based lubricants mixed 1:1 with N-9. Two consumer products containing carrageenan, Divine 9 and BIOglide, prevented detectable HPV infection in the study."
