I am sensitive to latex.
I went to a sex shop and the lady there told me not to try lambskin condoms because they don't protect against stds or pregnancy. She said that the last person who came in the store and bought lambskin came back yelling saying that she got pregnant while using them with her boyfriend. I also asked a doctor (who works at the county health department) and she said that she wouldn't recommend them. Although she did say they might make good use to put over a latex condom if allergic. she also said polyurethane could work for that too. But, I must say, I looked that up and supposedly 'doublebagging' increases the risk of condom failure. what the heck?! I'm really confused on this now because on the planned parenthood website lambskin is ranked with all male condoms as only having like a 2-15% failure rate. I find this hard to believe considering hearing how that last customer got pregnant trying lambskin for the first time. Not to mention how the doctor didn't recommend it. I also somehow find it hard to believe that a type of condom used in the 1800s could have the same success rate as a latex or polyurethane condom. I'm wondering when the last study on lambskin condoms was actually conducted? How is it, that a material so porous could end up preventing pregnancy, but NOT STDs? And what is it about Lambskins that *supposedly* makes it so stimulating?
