Is it bad to use latex condoms if you may be allergic to them?
I was just wondering if you are is it a bad thing to still use them?
Aren't they the best kind of protection?

if you were allergic to berries would you eat them? There are latex free condems available. you can also double your protection by adding a spermacide foam when you use the condems. Or a non-oil based lubricant to help with irritation. Also, remember that flavored condems are novelty items, not meant to be used to protect against HIV/AIDS, STDs/STIs or pregnancy. There are some that are both protective and flavoured, but READ the label before you use for protection.
Hello,
If you are allergic to Latex it is certainly not advisable to use Latex Condoms!
They do make some that would be a better fit for your latex allergies (Latex Free)
And, Good for you in being proactive in taking the proper precautions during
sexual activities.
Peace,
