Condoms stink!

Altbier's Avatar
Yes, it stinks that I have to wear a condom during sessions with the providers here (I wouldn't consider the alternative!), but that's not what I mean by the title of this thread. My concern is with the way most condoms smell. They're freakin' horrible! I'm assuming that the smell is not from the condom itself, but from other additives, ie. spermicide or lubricant.

It's bad enough that I have to smell them during intercourse, but during a second round of DATY, it's a real turn-off. I'm sure providers feel the same way about a second round of BJ. And what's worse is that the smell is damned difficult to wash off, potentially leading to major problems with the SO. My post is prompted by the session I just finished with a young lovely. Even after a shower, I can still smell the condom on my hands and other parts.

So, my questions to you are: What condoms have the least odor? Have you found any that are essentially odorless? Where do you buy them? Failing that, how do you deal with the odor?

Hello there,
I can tell you that I have the same concerns, and for the most part relieved my issue with that. It took lots of experimenting with different brands. First off I only purchase non lubricated, and certainly NO spermacide. If any lube is needed then a water based one is perfect and many taste/smell great.
The standards that I seek out, and purchase are the Durex brand flavored/scented. They are not cheap/novelty condoms. They are bought at CVS, WAlMART, WALGREENS. Apple, Bananna, and Cherry. I also do not buy the standard sized condom. They are too tight, and really do not cover very well even for the small to average size fella. I get Trojun Magnums, and also XL. These fit ANYONE and you never have to worry, or guess. I hope this info was helpful. This has been working well for me, but everyone has their own thing that works for them.

I remember going to one provider who offered up some that had flavors so going back to DATY was a little more interesting IMO.

I had not encountered too bad of a smell from a condom until a couple weeks ago. I agree some smell more than others but i had not encountered anything too strong. However, I visited a provider who i see often, i engaged in DATY before any other activities and she was fresh and clean so i know it was not her. She put on the condom and after a couple of position changes i went to do a little more DATY and there was this smell from the condom, it was bad. It kinda killed the mood. Like you even after taking it off and washing it off, i could still smell it on me. That was pretty bad. I did not check what brand it was.

do not i repeat DO NOT USE THE LAMB SKIN .. THIS GUY i saw yrs ago brought his own and he said he couldnt use any other so i said ok .. since i had never used them before. Well lets just say i gagged from the smell of it all .. i had to cut the session short and apologized but he understood and was nice about it .. he gave me the full donation and extra but later that evening i felt bad and offered him to come back the next day and do a bng.. bbbj and he was really nice and couldnt leave him unsatisfied ..

i agree spermicidal condoms and reality condoms smell .. and i usually keep wipes near by and lots of diff lubes (flavored) so its all good down under .. !!

Most of all i hate the smell of burnt rubber..lol..

I don't use Trojan brand for this exact reason. I found Skyn is nearly odorless.

I'm so self conscious with things like that. They usually just smell like rubber. Is that the smell you're referring to? It's not that strong but you can smell the rubber.
Trojans and Lambskins are HORRIBLE! Lifestyles have little odor...and, they come in XL sizes. The only drawback of lifestyles is the XL seem to run a little smaller than the Trojans. Skyns are good as well...but, for me, the polyurethane condoms don't feel as natural as the latex.

Those who use Trojans...make sure to wash well with soap and water afterwards. They leave a very distinct smell that can be detected by others...your SO or next client! Nothing worse than smelling the aftermath! (lol)

Trojans are STANK! I'm only familiar with the micros, but I've heard from several sources that even the Magnums are just as stunked.

Skyn(ny) is my preferred non-stanky willie-wrapper.

Hi Lexi...where you been lady? Lifestyle XL can only be found either at a walmart...maybe some targets, and may want to checkout Megaplex. I haven't researched online yet, but I'm sure you can get them online.

I may be wrong, but I think Costco carries Lifestyle condoms in bulk. I'm almost postive they carry Trojan and Durex, and I'm pretty sure they have Lifestyle too It's a good way to save some dough, assuming you'll find a way to go through 250+ condoms quick enough... LOL

I also hope and pray that EVERYONE washes good with soap, and water after any encounter!! No matter what condoms you use. LOL
