Condoms And Vaginal Health
Condoms and vaginal health: 3 things to consider if you have sensitivities.
Most people tolerate condoms well. If you have sensitivity, or you are looking for products with the least number of additives:
Consider these 3 things:
Avoid condoms with spermicide (they typically include nonoxynol-9 or N-9)
If condoms with lubricant already added are irritating - choose lubricant-free.
Add your own preferred lubricant (water-based or silicone, not oil based)
Consider using polyurethane rather than latex.
options:
Maude condoms are vegan, made from 100% natural latex, vegan and free from spermicide or fragrance. (Use my Maude affiliate link/code CINDY10 to try them)

5 ideas for keeping it sexy using condoms
Can condoms be sexy? Tips to stay in the mood while rolling one on.
Putting on a condom is ruining the mood; how can I keep it sexy?
This question was submitted in my recent Ask Me Anything Q & A. If you are feeling the same way, here are five ideas to try.
1. Change your mindset. Literally, say “sexy” rather than “ugh” to yourself and each other. Don’t turn yourself off with a negative voice in your head or out loud to each other.
Your brain is your most important sex organ - Use it!
Let me also add that if you desire to prevent pregnancy and/or you are taking measures to have safe sex with a barrier method such as condoms - that is sexy!
2. Try different textured condoms.
Condoms come in several textures such as ribbed, dot design, and studded. Check out a different brand or type and see what sensations feel good for both of you. If either partner has sensitivities, you’ll want to take this into consideration before trying these options.
3. Use your mouth along with your fingers.
Combining oral pleasure as you roll it on adds some different stimulation. Look into each other’s eyes for even more heat and connection.
4. Use 1-2 drops of lube inside the condom.
Lube not only makes using condoms more comfortable, for some it can increase pleasure. Try using a small amount of lube and see what a difference it can make. Reminder: oil-based products are not compatible with latex condoms - use water based or silicone.
5. Roll it on in a 69 position to combine with oral for the partner on top.
This idea is both sexy and pleasurable for both partners. Taking your time here will definitely keep you in the mood while rolling one on!
