For those of you who only use condoms for contraceptive purposes, what are your favorite kinds? What kinds have you found problems with? How many of you have had scares? Personal experiences are a must in this situation! I appreciate all responses! Thanks!

I really like Trojan ribbed condoms. They actually make a ribbed and an ultra ribbed (or something like that) which are both fun, but the ultra-ribbed is a bit rougher. I personally like the feeling though and they're the only ribbed version that our local store carry in the big 36-count box variety. The twisted pleasure ones are pretty fun too. My guy tells me that these feel a little thinner at the tip than the ribbed ones. We've also tried ultra-thins and, according to him, they almost feel like he's not actually wearing a condom. We don't use those very often though because he likes to use the condom to help him last longer.

I really hate the mutual pleasure/warming sensation/whatever they're called ones. They do nothing for me and one of my past partners complained that the heat was actually uncomfortable to him. And they kind of press down on the ridge below the head of the penis which just smooths everything out and kills a lot of the feeling for me.

I've used condoms with a spermicidal lube exactly once and never again. They burned and hurt like hell. Apparently my lady bits don't jive on nonoxynol-9.

We've also tried Durex brand condoms. I think it was just the regular, lubricated kind. That's what they handed out at the county clinic I used to go to. For some reason, they only gave out colored ones which was always slightly hilarious as my fiance and I would actually dig through the bag to find a certain color on some occasions. The green ones creeped me out a bit, though.

Only scare we ever had with a condom was when I somehow managed to catch the edge of it and pulled it off of him when he was pulling out. I took Plan B the next day and everything was fine. Since then, we pay extra attention to making sure that the condom is rolled all the way down and he grabs the base when he pulls out (which is how we should have been doing it anyway). I've never had a condom break.
