Product review/quick question

[waveof-fashion.livejournal.com]

So I can't speak for the rest of you ladies that have used them, but from my experience today..Trojan's Ultra Ribbed Condoms are the devil. Approximately two seconds after my boyfriend entered me with that son-of-a-bitch condom on, I was screaming in pain..and he had a panic attack. Obviously, nothing good can result from those things. So yeah..ultra ribbed condoms hurt like a bitch.

On a new note, I have a small question. I have my very first gyno visit coming up, and I want to be completely honest with my doctor that way everything can go smoothly and all questions can be answered honestly. I want to tell them that I've had sex..but I don't want them to tell my mom. If I ask them to keep it confidental, will they do that? Is there some kind of gyno-secret oathe that they take? Sort of like the way a psychotherapist or something has to keep your conversations confidental..do gynos have to do that too (if requested, at least) ?


Thanks very very much for your help everyone!

No worries, it is completely confidental. All medical professionals are bound by that unless it is a case of sexual abuse or physical abuse towards a minor.

ahh good, thanks!

Doctor/Patient confidentiality is a great thing. They can't say anything to anyone regarding your health/history without your permission. If you feel comfortable, just say "I'd really appreciate it if you don't discuss this matter with my mother" and the doc will reconfirm that s/he can't. Good luck at the appt, and don't worry about it, it's SO not as bad as people make them out to be.

Thank you very much for your reply! I've been a little nervous about the appointment as it is, so thanks for the reassurance =)

Unless you are in a position that compromises your safety, your mom will not find out. She will have to sign a form (assuming you are over 14) protecting your confidentiality.

what was it about the condoms that hurt so bad, the ribbed part or an allergic reaction to the condom itself?

[waveof-fashion.livejournal.com]

It was the ribbed part, it felt almost as if it was scraping the inside of my vagina. Needless to say, I'm sticking to good ol' smooth condoms!

[blondiebegood76.livejournal.com]

that stinks...I haven't used a ribbed condom in shoot, over 15 years probably LOL I remember liking them BUT things change so much in one year, let alone 15 or so ;0)

[waveof-fashion.livejournal.com]

hah, very true

[zellie-bean.livejournal.com]

I didn't have as bad a reaction, but I agree with you about pain! Like a dull saw in my insides D: and Trojan's spermicide makes my parnter burn horribly x_x no good all around. We stick with durex ultrathins if we have to use condoms.

[waveof-fashion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, normally my boyfriend and I use durex as well. I don't know what in hell drove him to buy Trojan >.<.

[pinkgatorgirl06.livejournal.com]

lmao the way you said that last sentence cracked me up.

My bf and I use Trojan XL when we do use em, which is rare. Never ribbed ones though. We stuck a quarter in one of those machines in the bathrooms at a gas station and got some kind of pleasure rung once- we tried to use it and I ended up in tears and he ended up with a purple ring from the tightness around his poor penis for about half an hour. Not good. Splurge and buy the expensive stuff man, not a quarter condom or whatever comes out of those machines!

[waveof-fashion.livejournal.com]

haha yeah man, I hear ya on that one. Durex is definetely worth the price

[littlesillymoo.livejournal.com]

That's interesting, my bf and I tried Durex a few times and they always ended up cutting off his circulation and leaving a bright red mark around the base... Trojans didn't dig into him nearly as much.

[waveof-fashion.livejournal.com]

heh, that's pretty weird, my boyfriend had that exact same problem, but with Trojan!

[xfoundinabottle.livejournal.com]

Trojan condoms suck in general for that. Ribbed ones make me cry in pain within 5 seconds... regular ones make me cry in pain within about 15 seconds... The 'smooth' ones are still slightly textured just from the type of latex.. owie. Caused a yeast infection for me one time too. i guess i'm just super sensitive.

Oh and Trojans are also most likely to break from most other condoms.

[waveof-fashion.livejournal.com]

yeah exactly, I've actually never heard anything good about Trojan, which is why we usually stick to Durex..but for whatever reason, he grabbed Trojan Ultra Ribbed!
