Let's try this again, Condoms??

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've never had a condom break/scare, though I use them as a secondary form of BC, since I have an IUD.

We use Durex Fetherlites, which are the UK version of Durex Ultra Sensitive, or something like that, though they aren't exactly the same. Since for me, there is very little sensation difference from one condom to another (aside from the amount of lube on them) I usually leave condom choice up to my partner, and he prefers those.

We've tried Trojans and "One" brand condoms, and the One's were very very nice, especially the extra thin version, but my boyfriend needs the larger size, and the One's don't come in a thin+large version, so we stick with the Fetherlites, which are larger than the standard US condom.

Oh, and we've tried Durex Love's as well - and they are by far the best US condoms we've tried. I'm in the US and my partner is in the UK, so if we don't have any of the UK Durex ones, we choose the Love's over any other US condoms.
