  • Sooo me and my previous boyfriend never used condoms and ive never had anything bad happen to me!! A couple of days ago i had sex and ge used the condom in the gold package imediatley after my vagina was swollen im a black girl soo im guessing it was red cause its usually pink a few days later it was still swollen and red except it started itching really bad! I went to the doc yesyetday and they tested to see if i had an infection but now im thinking i may be allergic to condoms!! Somebody help...

  • Answer:

    Not just condoms, but latex in general. I am in the same boat. You have a slight allergy to latex. It does not effect you when you go to the doctor, because the doctor has no interest in rubbing the latex against your skin for a prolonged amount of time. Your boyfriend, however, does. I used condoms for a long time with my ex. Because he was my first, I didn't know that sex wasn't supposed to make your vag do that. When I went on birth control, we stopped using comdoms, and I soon realized what was going on. It's really not a big deal. They make latex free condoms, and when used with other measures of protection, they can protect you just as well as regular condoms. The only thing that may effect you with your allergy is the use of band-aids. If worn for longer than an hour, they may begin to irritate your skin.

It could be a latex allergy, or it could be a reaction to the spermicide on the condom. The easiest way to figure it out is to get some non-latex ones and see if the irritation happens again when you're recovered this time. If it does and you have spermicide on the condoms, get some that don't have latex or spermicide and see if that stops the problems. There are several brands on the market of both.

Use non latex condoms and give that a try.
