Condom choices in the UK

[thenuddpants.livejournal.com]

Hey all.

I'm going to be visiting my boyfriend in Scotland soon, and I have a question for those of you who live in the UK. I'm a little grossed by the thought of lubed condoms, so we have seen searching for a place that sells unlubed condoms... to no avail.

Any help? Anyone know where we can find unlubed condoms in the UK? Anyone know brands that are better than others? Or at the very least, condoms that, while lubed, are very lightly lubed/not overly... "ew"?

I know I could buy a box here and bring them with me, but I would really rather not.

If you do find some unlubed condoms (and yes, they do exist) you should definitely buy lube of your own for them. They are much more likely to break unlubricated, and that kinda defeats the whole purpose. Personally if I needed condoms for vaginal use I'd buy them unlubed and put glycerin-free lube on them, because I think most condoms come with a glycerin lube and those give me yeast infections like mad.

my problem is, i personally make more than enough natural lubrication - sometimes when there is too much of my OWN, sensation is reduced and sex doesn't feel as good. so id like to find some unlubed condoms, so that we dont have to throw in lube on top of what my vagina naturally produces.

if that makes sense, lol, its early.

and while breaking would be unwanted, i am also on BC, so condoms would be our second form of protection, and it wouldnt be as big of a deal as if it were our only protection.

Ah, I've had that happen sometimes. And if they're your backup method, then yeah, it's not nearly as big of a deal. In that case it might be good just to have a teensy bottle of it on hand, just in case... instead of the massive giant size, heh. 'cause you never know. But if you want to save a few bucks and your vagina's good to go as is, go for it. :) However, I hear for some guys it feels a lot better to have a dollop of lube inside the condom, so that might be something to consider.
