Spermicides+ Cock Sleeves+ Condoms= ?????

[molovato08]

Ok so my husband and I have this freaky weekend planned out this weekend and I'm not due to get my IUD put in til Jan. 21st. We really don't like using condoms but understand that we need to use them to protect ourselves. And we recently ordered some cock sleeves (I think that's what they're called) and we were wondering:

1) Can we use the sleeves with the spermicides or will it mess them up?

2) Does the spermicide mess up the condoms?

3) Can we slip the sleeve over the condom so that we are still able to use both?

4) Never used spermicide before, is this something we can get over the counter and if so where? How do we use it and what are the side effects if any?

Please help!

I have no basis to answer here but I"m going to go out on a limb and say you're not going to get much response on the cock sleeve part. I just don't think that many people have any experience with them. Spermicide shouldn't ruin a condom, in fact you an buy condoms already treated with it and I'd imagine most of them are designed and intended to be used with a condom.

As far as wearing the condom under the sleeve, it might work but I'd be worried about the lube doing it's job and the sleeve staying in you while he pulls out of you. Not to mention I don't think he'd feel much.

All commercial spermicides whether jelly, foam, film, suppository or in a sponge is fine with condoms. Latex condoms should not be used with petroleum jelly (Vaseline) because that degrades latex - a vegetable product. The vaginal jelly uses water based lube (Surgilube or K-Y) as a base with the spermicide mixed in. The other spermicides are not generally considered to be lubricating.

Now, you are married and getting close to having an IUD inserted? And looking for advice on spermicide? Interesting. Look on the shoppe shelf next to feminine hygiene products and you will K-Y+, Gynol II, Conceptrol, Norforms, VCF and a few others. Most likely on the bottom shelf under the condoms.

With the jelly or the foam you need the starter kit that includes an applicator to insert the stuff. If this is a wild weekend of sex, remember to refresh the spermicide from time to time.
