Allergy To Latex Condoms?

A bit personal, but I am interested to hear others thoughs. After sex, or all the time if me and my boyfriend are haveing regular sex, I will be itchy, dry, and very sensitive. I know we are both clean, so it must be the condoms. I wear latex gloves at work, but never for a long period of time, but i never have a reaction to them. if anyone else has been allergic to latex condoms or the lube, what were your reactions? thanks

Either the latex or the lube could be the culprit. You can try a different lube first to see if that helps.

That is exactly how I found out I was allergic to latex. After sex with condoms I was very swollen, red, itchy, and tender. It started getting more noticeable, so I would react to latex gloves (I got a small red rash over the area the gloves covered). My allergy has gotten bad enough that I have to buy latex-free bandages and I can't blow up balloons because I get very red and itchy everywhere latex touches me. I would just buy the latex-free stuff if I were you. They are a little more expensive, but you don't want to mess around with a latex allergy.

Keep track of this, though. Some vaginal infections can cause the same symptoms. If you change everything else and it doesn't improve, go to your doctor.

You could be allergic to either the lube or the condom. I would try changing lubes first. If you still have the same problem, then buy non-latex condoms. They are more expensive, more are really good.

I've had problems with latex in the past and switched to the non-latex condoms. I'm having problems again now, but I think it's more because of the lube since we're using a new one that heats up. I just get really dry and irritated. It feels like I'm being rubbed raw even with the lube. Painful.
