I like to use them because they don’t affect you / if you have had bad experiences with hormonal birth control in the past

Durex condom  

My partner uses a male condom which comes with no symptoms as it is not harmonal. However, I struggle with intense ovulation symptoms that ranges from lower abdominal cramps to spotting in mucus. This started 3 years ago (age 25) and first occurred periodically but for the past year it has been almost every month. The mucosal spotting is not heavy and does not require pads. However, it use to last only 1-2 days but now it extends 3-4 days.

Pasante condom  

You would need a lot of lube as it is not naturally liberated.

I have no problem apart from feeling friction more quicker then using without a condom.

Pasante condom  

For me nothing compares. No side effects and it is the only form of protection that prevents pregnancy and STI's 10/10 recommended.
