Yeah I know I've been told: "Buy your condoms before you get to Asia," but I never seem to manage it.  I think I've got some subliminal fear that the provocatively shaped little foil wrappers will trigger a bag search and snickers at security . . . I don't know, but in any event I always end up picking them up at the arrival end of my travels.  And man theyjust don't make a big weeney wrapper over here do they?

For me the excessive tightness makes it take forever to climax.  I'd thought that the additional tightness would also lessen one's rigidity (just like how anal sex squeezes the blood out of your unit) however the tightness of the wrapper seems to be balanced by the effect of the tight ring at the base of the condom, kind of like it's own cock ring, to keep everything counter balanced and 'pumped up' to the correct operating PSI.

Any other effects I haven't heard of?  If I fall asleep after sex with one of these things on will I wake up with a withered weiner?  Is there ever a chance I'll get on so tight it has to be surgically removed??

Sorry, I don't know why the fear of bringing condom in your luggage.  I just put it inside my suitcase in one of my pants tucked away. It shouldn't be in your wallet via thru the metal detector.  We are all adults practicing safe sex & it shouldn't be an embarassment to bring them abroad....personally I would be a tad nervous if I was bringing say...S&M toys as those can be construed as weapons. LOL

As for tightness, I can just surmise discomfort or god forbid the dom breaking due to being too tight!

Unless you're joining the mile-high-club, then you could just put your condoms in your luggage.  Make sure you put a fragile sticker on it

Just want to ask something... What thickness do you guys use for your condoms?

Try these japanese ones, they are the best!

how are they the best?

I am really tempted to buy the japanese brands.  The US ones have done well in sturdiness for me but its a lill thick imo

NLion,

Those aren't Okamoto 0.03s, are they?

I had a bad experience with those (see report),
in which one got ripped in half inside
the girl, who had remarked on their
thinness when I produced them at
the start of the session. I told her
they were made in Japan, so they
must be good. We ended
up using the thick Chinese ones
of which she had a drawerful.

TheButler,

Having had a bit of a scare with an Asian
brand (see above), which though thin tends
to compress your cock so that it looks
like it got stuck in one of those clear
vacuum bags that you can use to stuff
tons of clothing into for storage or travelling,
I switched to Durex Fetherlite/Avanti Ultima,
which I found a lot more comfortable,
and cheaper, too.

They are indeed the Okamoto 0.03, but i havent had any bad experiences with them before.
Maybe you are just too big haha


sirtiger, The reason why they are good IMO is because they are thin and you feel so much more with them.
Why not buy a few and try them out, if they dont tickle ur fancy, just try others

  Avanti has the added bonus of being made of non-latex material, which is suitable for me, as I have an allergy to latex.

I was once stopped and had my luggage searched at the airport by a Female Inspector. She was digging and snooping around my suitcase and found the flap of 6 condoms i had hid inside one of my shirts. She pulled it out, looked at it, and then looked at me and neatly folded it back and placed it back within the shirt. Neither of us felt embarrassed. I just gave her a smile. I'm pretty sure its a common occurrence, finding condoms in suitcases.  

I used to use another brand, then someone told me to try out Okamotos and I've never gone back

dam, I find the 0.05 quite thin too, I was a bit worried that it will rip.

Featherlite works for me too.  For some reason the Durex "extra sensation" kind just don't fit right.  I find condom fit makes a very large difference in sensation for me; I would have never guessed.

I always buy my condoms upon arrival. You do not want your wifey to ask questions otherwise. The Okamotos are perfect for me too. I have just discovered them and they fit perfecty. When in Europe I use the durex featherlight and they are also fine.

The airport on the way out is a good as place as any I would have thought. Durex Avanti all the way here normally

It seems like new SOP to search your bag once they screen through you rluggage.  It appears more for their jollies than anything else.

Anyways, I used to carry an emercency one stuffed inside my wallet but too cumbersome to keep.

That wallet storage has got to be bad for the shelf life of the condom too, no?

To have a better idea if the condom's width is wide enough for you, just read the back of the package.  There should be a number in mm for nominal width.  The durex featherlites (52.5 mm) are a bit wider than their usual condoms (52mm).   There are many brands in HK; asian, european, and american and they should all have the nominal width stated on the back of packaging.

If it rips or doesnt fit or anythng but hope u dont land up like this guy  It might be off topic but this thread is about condoms just like to share it here.

Pls note its not in English but its still funny....

only if you are carrying the wallet

the heat, pressure & rubbing cause the degradation of the condom causing for higher chance to fail

With any condom, I always double bag it.  Bringing your own helps, but thankfully condoms are rather cheap in Asia.  Anyoneknow of any that are free in HK?  I'm sure quality may be hindered.

A I've broken a hat or two and it has "slipped" off due to excessive lube.  Talk about a nightmare.

For what it's worth, I'm just fine.  Whew.
