condom allergies

I have to admit, asking questions like these are kind of embarrasing, but I need answers.
Well... I'm not allergic to latex but when my partner used durex brand condoms during intercource I was left with irritation and burning during the sex. I desided to not use them anymore but still wanted to have safe sex. I'm not sure what brand of condom I can use or whet I can do to prevent this problem in the future.
Any help?

I don't think its the lubracant it spermicide because I have used spermicidal lubracants before and they didn't cause this problem...

Did the condoms have a lubricant or spermicide? I'm allergic to both so I have an issue with most condoms. You may want to try a condom that doesn't have lubricant or spermicide.
