So I've tried the birth control thing and it drove me crazy I've decided the only effective birth control I can use and save my sanity at the same time is a condom. The problem with that though is they feel so unnatural and glove like... they're so uncomfortable... anyone have any suggestions or personal experiences for types that might work better and feel more natural?

I can't tell the difference between condoms. The feel of them doesn't bother me at all. For my husband it's a different story. We tried Pleasure Plus this weekend and he said they felt A LOT better than the regular Trojans we were using. I bought them from drugstore.com but found them for less on condomdepot.com and they have free shipping.

Have you tried thinner condoms, like Durex Fetherlite? I didn't experience any breakage with them, and there are other brands that also have thinner condoms. They do allow more sensation (not the same as going without obviously).

Personally, we tolerate condoms, and I chart my cycles so we can go without condoms when I'm in my infertile times.

Give Kimono MicroThin condoms a try. My BF says they are the most natural feeling condom he's ever used. They provide a good amount of lubrication, though we always use extra. I also really like "One" brand studded condoms for some increased sensation (you can actually feel the studs, unlike other types we've tried) and they feel as natural for him as the Kimonos. We get ours at a local erotic boutique, but you can also get them online at places like condomdepot.

Word of caution: Be aware that another version of Kimono, MicroThin with AquaLube, is carried in some drug stores--BUT, (while better then regular trojans or whatever) these are made with a different material than the regular MicroThins that is thicker & less natural feeling, and the lubricant isn't as good.

Good luck!
