Cheaper than a baby.

Trojan are good in the US, bad in Europe seems to be the perception. Durex being good in Europe, and bad in the US. You can get a 12 pack of condoms here for about £8, or a 3 pack for roughly £3 I think.

Condoms seem to break on me alot. But they're insanely cheap. Like $.50 per.

So know I like to use spermicide. But you should only do that if you're in a relationship and know that the girls STD-free

In Ontario the general consensus seems to be that Trojans are like raincoats and Durex, while a tad pricey, feel the best for both parties.

From my own experience this seems to remain largely true.

Over here in BC Trojans are known for breaking (they are also too small for me). Durex are pretty good. Lifestyles are also decent, and are my favorite.

Around here, you can expect to pat $7-$8 for a 12 pack.

Though at London Drugs you can get a 36 pack of lifestyles for $11

Woohoo!

Really? It's the opposite here. Trojans cost more, and in my ex's opinion, feel better. I couldn't care less, as long as I don't get pregnant.

wow... Definitely the opposite, Trojans are cheaper here by about a few dollars and that puts them at like $8-$9 and Durex are like $10.99-$12.99 in most places. For like 12-14 condoms. Expensive fuckers. Still, I never buy anything other then Durex, I just buy them in places like Costco in bulk, fuckloads cheaper but I wouldn't know the prices of the top of my head. Been almost a year since I bought them there, didn't use em with my last two girlfriends (If you could call the earlier of the two a girlfriend, more like a one-week-stand).

Damn, it's like $4.XX here for a box of 12 Trojans. Durexes are $3 something.

Maybe Canada's Gov. just wants more babies... /conspiracy theory

Seriously though it's pretty insane, I won't buy them in anything but bulk now. I actually should buy some soon, I don't have any and my soul is starting to feel a bit better after my last gf left me so I'm starting to feel more like finding someone new.

I also now never fuck around without safety precautions like condoms or birth control and condoms. Always condoms anyways... at least until we get tested as a couple or something and shes on the pill. Well, whenever I find her that is.

www.condomdepot.com (http://www.condomdepot.com). I've used this site multiple times. The prices are good, and shipping is free and surprisingly fast. Oh, and this site also gives all the measurements for the condoms. It dispels the stupid myths about "durex are small" or "no wai, trojans are smaller." The sizes will vary based on the condom style. There is not only "standard" and "magnum."

You guys realize that all the durex and trojan condoms are made in the same place, right? There's no difference between the durex in the US or europe. Why? They're all made in Thailand or India to begin with. They're the same condoms.

Anyway, the best thing to do is buy several different kinds and see which one you like best.

Also, do NOT use condoms with spermicidal lube. I've already posted on this, but I'm going to do it again because apparently people didn't read it last time.

According to the World Health Organization...
• Although Nonoxynol-9 has been shown to increase the risk of HIV infection when used frequently by women at high risk of infection, it remains a contraceptive option for women at low risk.

• Nonoxynol-9 offers no protection against sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea or chlamydia.

• There is no evidence that condoms lubricated with Nonoxynol-9 are any more effective in preventing pregnancy or infection than condoms lubricated with silicone, and such condoms should no longer be promoted. However, it is better to use an Nonoxynol-9 lubricated condom than no condom at all.

• Nonoxynol-9 should not be used rectally.

The Centers Of Disease Control (CDC) Report > (http://www.condomdepot.com/non9/cdc-info.htm)
Letter on Nonoxynol-9 From the CDC > (http://www.condomdepot.com/non9/cdc-letter.htm)

Fact # 3 - Nonoxynol-9 Does NOT Decrease Pregnancy Rates

According by a report from the World Health Organization (WHO). There is no proof that using non-9 will reduce your risk of becoming pregnant. Using a condom properly is over 98% effective. Some heterosexual couples seek out N-9 lubricated condoms with the hope of achieving back up protection against pregnancy in case of condom breakage or slippage. However, there are no data to substantiate whether or not the amount of N-9 bio-available on condoms is adequate to provide back up protection from unwanted pregnancy.
(There is considerable less N-9 on condoms than in most over the counter contraceptive products).
[ World Health Organization Press Release (http://www.condomdepot.com/non9/who-press.htm) ] [Non-9 DOESN'T Work (http://www.condomdepot.com/non9/non-9-doesntwork.htm) ] [ Global Campaign (http://www.global-campaign.org/whatsup_with_n9.htm) ]

There's also evidence that N-9 causes UTIs and/or irritation. It's unnecessary, so don't use it.

^ OMG Fucking Thank YOU!

Now maybe I can find some condoms that don't give me a purple ring of pain for the rest of the day!

I'm serious this is great! :D

58mm are the widest condoms I could find at any store around here, and it's been killing me. I did something so stupid because of it too, that and being fucked off my face but I think even if I was fucked up and the condom fit I would have been more likely to use it...

Man, I'm so about to order 500 condoms for only $85 and the best part is... THEY'LL FIT! :D
Seriously I can not thank you enough, I don't know why I never thought of ordering them online, I mean I've thought of it but never looked into it cause I thought the price would probably not make it worth it. I was wrong. You made my day.
