I have been on BC for over 5 years now and
plan to continue to take it due to bad
menstrual cramps, mood swings, and other
hormonal problems---and what I would like
to know is someone else's opinion on the
use of condoms. My boyfriend(of 5 years)
and I always use them so I don't really
know what it's like to not use one. We
have tried practically every type: her
pleasure, extra thin, ribbed, twisted
pleasure, non-lubricated, and more- but
none of them seem to "feel" right to me. I
can always feel them and the best one that
I like are the ultra thin ones. I am not
having as much pleasure during sex as I
would like to be having. So..... I was
thinking since i'm on BC maybe we should
just try not using a condom. Please let me
know your opinions.
P.S. I will start taking a new BC in a
week...it's called Lutera- due to bad
headaches.

You do not need to use them. I didn't use
condoms on birth control unless I was in
question of my protection due to late
pills.

I don't use them. They're only really
necessary if you're worried about std's-
but otherwise, as long as you're confident
you can take your pills right, you'll be
fine.
Just watch out for things like other
medications, throwing up, etc. I keep
condoms useful in case something like that
comes up.

Thanks for all the advice. I will let you
know what Lutera is like when I start
taking it. I have heard about some
horrible side effects that i'm not looking
forward to.

I was on Lutera before swtiching to
Previfem the only reason why I switched is
because I kept spotting. Other than that I
loved that pill.
