Don't know why, but you're not the only one it happens to. The only way around it that I've found is to get condoms made from polyurethane (Durex brand ones are called Aventi or something like that) rather than latex as the polyurethane ones are not prone to disintergrating if they come into contact with any oil based lubricant.

As well as the tendancy to self destruct, I've found that latex condoms have other 'faults'. They are useless at unrolling smoothly, they feel like they cut the circulation off to regions enclosed by them and they never unroll all the way down. The last one means that if you thrust deeper than the bit where it runs out (so it's completely inside your partner) it can roll back up when you withdraw, sometimes to the point of removing itself.

Anyway, does anyone know if any UK chain of pharmacies or similar actually stock the polyurethane condoms? Boots def don't and it'd be nice to know of a pharmacy chain etc that stocks them - save hours of wandering 'round Newcastle, going into every little shop that might stock them.

Thanks


Bloody hell, my 1st post almost turned into an essay!
