Does anyone else take their own condoms to meets?

[freddytb1]

We can all agree that sex without a condom (with some you know and trust) feels better than sex with a johnny. Now I would never bareback an escort but at least to enhance my experience somewhat I will often bring condoms that I prefer the feel of rather than using the 'standard issue' condoms that the girls provide.

For anyone who is interested I use SKYN.

Do you guys do the same? If so which are your condoms of choice?

[AnthG]

I always do as girls I tend to see usually have free ones from the gum clinic that are pretty naff.

My choice; Mates SKYN Extra Lubicated Condoms that are often on sale at Asda.

Snap!
Funny thing is when I first started bringing them I kept pulling out and checking that the condom hadn't come off because it felt that much better than the usual crappy ones 

[The Owl]

Never needed to. All the escorts I've seen repeatedly have had the right size condom for me and only one used one of those really solid no feeling condoms.

I thought it wasn't wise for escorts to let punters use their own condoms because of the increased risk of sabotage? Seems like a risky habit for a sex worker.

[Vic69]

I know everyone works differently, but if a client bought his own condoms along it would unsettle me a bit and i would have to insist on using my own or cancel the booking, if a client had a favourite brand and mentioned it ahead of the booking I would get them in specifically for him.

Yeah don't get me wrong I'm not saying it's not pleasurable using the condoms they provide, but they usually aren't 'luxury' by any means. I've yet to come across a girl who goes out and buys ultra thin or ribbed etc condoms, likely because of the price tag.

I do take on board the point about them being wary of punters' own supplies though.

Yeah I get that. I mean if a girl told me she would prefer to use her own I wouldn't put up a fight at all.
I guess it's best to mention it on the phone beforehand in any case

[Vic69]

I usually carry a big selection of condoms for all shapes and sizes lol, I have the ultra thin Japanese ones too. I don't know why other ladies would carry cheap ones, it's not worth the risk of saving a few ££ especially when we charge good rates for our services(plus they are tax deductible lol)

[Jerk Chicken]

Unless it is a last min punt I always bring my own condoms more as a back up.

Durex thin feel is my preference.

Punts and condom preference tend to be a mix bag. I let the SP lead. If she offers a a mac I am happy with then no issue of if not I'll politely suggest I have alternatives.

Never had an issue when I use my own.

Have you tried the Durex 'invisible' range at all? Been meaning to give them a go

[B4bcock]

A couple of years ago I had a good punt ruined by a condom which was way too tight and as thick as a bicycle inner tube.   When I got home I went online and was intrigued to find that, just as ladies get measured for a correct fitting bra, we gents can also check our dimensions and then choose appropriate condoms.   I now take Skyns with me to most punts and, usually after a cursory check over, every WG so far has had no qualms about using them.   They occasionally ask why I want to use them, but when I explain about the fit and sensitivity issues they are happy to go ahead.   Another plus for me with Skyns is that they are non latex, unlike Durex etc which can leave me with a slight itching after use.

[Jerk Chicken]

I have not ... but now you have mentioned am going to pick up a pack to see how the compare.

[RogerBoner]

I used to take Sagami 0.2 Large (because they are a Japanese brand) but now take Skyns with extra lube. The Sagamis are a little noisy, sounds like a crisp packet. The girls said that it felt like bareback as they could feel the penis heat. I became confident with any brand once I became comfortable wearing Sagamis and Skyns. But having bareback civvie sex may have undermined my training. Not all WGs allow me to use my own but I never make a scene.  Condomless with the gf was a Eurika moment as I hadn't felt that sensation for so long because a condom is still a bit numbing on a circumcised member.

[winkywanky]

Durex etc which can leave me with a slight itching after use.

That's funny, I normally find I start off with an itch and then it goes away afterwards 

[B4bcock]

It's when you start itching a week or so later you have to worry.   

[JimmySW]

I used to take the XL Sagami's with me but I find them a little too narrow, I bought a load of EXS Air Thin Condoms from Amazon that I find quite good, I guess we're all looking for the holy grail!

Skyn's are quite good and I only get told I can't use my own rarely.

[Strawberry]

I always do as girls I tend to see usually have free ones from the gum clinic that are pretty naff.

My choice; Mates SKYN Extra Lubicated Condoms that are often on sale at Asda.

I often have Mates Skyns available, including some of the EL you mention, as well as the standard MS. If a punter brings his own yes I may be a little anxious, partly because I don't know what he has done with these condoms. A packet with the outer plastic seal intact around the box would be reassuring. Also very early on someone used lambskin condoms which I later discovered are not impermeable to organisms, so are essentially contraceptives not an effective barrier for STIs. My standard has and seems likely always will be Mates Natural which have a slightly sweet tang and aroma to them, roll on well and roll off well.

Following a mention on here I started trialling Pasante Unique earlier this year, these are quite different as I found out on first attempt which I really botched up. Luckily only at home, not on a punter! Some really like them, some do not, one thing to watch is the lack of elastic band at the bottom makes continuing after ejaculation risky. Some guys do like to carry on, and it's not always obvious they have climaxed - so can be a two way thing. There are other pros and cons to these condoms.

[unclepokey]

In 2020 BC (before Covid 19) one of the ladies I spend time with also was experimenting with Pasante Unique. Our joint consumer report I can say is favorable. The sensations experienced were mutually satisfactory. They are a bit more expensive of course.
Ruth mentioned the issue of post-orgasm dribbling and this is definitely a problem in my case as I de-tumesce quite rapidly after orgasm and there is a fair bit of 'pipe work' to shrink into the Tangas for the journey home.
The range includes non latex products which is good as one lady I visit is allergic to Latex.

My condom of choice is pasante,  they are really satisfying how they roll on for some reason!  For the bigger gent I use Trojan Magnums.  The only ones I dont like to use are durex extra safe, when i first started years ago I had 2 go on me with a client (i think this was more the fact he was really going for it and not enough lube used, but has put me off them).

I am guessing 69 is your DOB and as such I think its the older escorts who do this. The younger ones (as in early to mid-20s) are usually partying all night and just wake up, dash of makeup and let the agency driver take her into work hungover and thus are never this level of prepared in my experience. And this is from about 150 or so punts now with that < the overriding trend by far.

And I also think they will see a punter using his own as "thank God he is saving me from running down my own supply"

You missed they are all drugged up as well as pissed from your generalisation.

Sorry for my generalising, I wasn't intending to there. It is Sunday and I was up all last night till late. (I could say I was partying to make myself appear cool, but no I was watching a Star Trek Voyager double bill episode )

[Adoniron]

I have never taken my own condoms. Usually whatever the girl provides is fine, except I have had a couple of occasions when it seemed we were using industrial standard rubber hose, in which case I would mention it in my report.

You are quite right in your assumption.  I am of the generation that grew up with the gravestone adverts of the 80's that put the fear of god in us! I was thinking the other day, that with the current pandemic are we now going to have a generation of kids that are quite standoffish and not tactile?

[B4bcock]

For me, there is also a degree of psychology in taking a condom with me which I know will be comfortable.   It's one less thing to worry about, especially if it's a first meet.  If you glance at the bedside cabinet and spot a make of condom you don't recognise, it can set off a niggle in the back of your mind that can add a bit of tension to your meeting.

I get that, but if I was a punter and I went to visit a lady and all she had was cheap unknown brands of condoms on offer  I think I would walk, because I would start questioning how seriously she takes her health and that of her clients.

Equally though, you could argue if they use ones from the Gum clinic. They have been deemed as the safest there are to be ones deemed suitable to be given away by them.

The problem is, safe, and enjoyable are often not the same.

[sparkus]

I always do when visiting massage shops and I know the girl I'm going to see is a goer or has been reported on here as offering FS.  I even used to take flavoured (which aren't reliable) and proper condoms but discovered that most SPs who provide FS don't seem to mind the taste of normal condoms.  This of course does add extra outlay to the experience and it's preferable when the SP just whips a magic condom out of her little bag of tricks in the room.

I've been livid to walk away from a shop with unused johnnies I couldn't take home.

[Belgarion]

After a visit to a porn star that didn't have any, I always keep a couple of packs with me (unopened).

Every other SP I've seen has had suitable supplies.

[Kool Keef]

In my early punting days I used to struggle keeping wood throughout the punt because of the rubbers some WGs used, a punting pal told me he took his own so I thought I'd do the same,.
I tried it for the first time at a parlour punt.
The WG didn't approve of the idea to put it mildly 
Haven't tried it since. 

[freddytb1]

Jumped online and ordered a batch of invisibles, the one you just mentioned lol plus some of the others doscissed in this thread ready for my first post Covid punt. If they are an improvement on Durex thin then happy days ahead   

[Simon_9000]

I take my own.

Early in my punting career, a johnny slipped off when I pulled out which freaked both me and the SP out. Obviously she had to find it.  Afterwards I went away and looked into condoms that "fit" me. Here's the link I used that has width and length of lots of makes, just measure yourself first. Glad to say since I started taking my own, zero issues.

I have a suspicion a 'deal' may also be involved sometimes they are Durex, sometimes Pasante which I find plasticky (apart from the Unique I mentioned which I doubt the NHS would provide), occasionally Mates Skyns are provided as a latex free option. The Freedoms online shop run by an NHS authority can be a useful source, have bought from there a few times. Years ago the packs given out contained Durex flavoured, bright green apple, yellow banana, orange orange.

Excellent post, this is my thoughts and feelings too

I use skyns as they are latex free and feel much nicer, they also don't numb your lips and mouth or taste disgusting like Durex, when doing OW which gets requested more often than you guys think.

I carry the standard and the extra large and I also carry passante in slim fit and king size, like others if you wanted flavoured or ribbed or something else out of the ordinary then a bit of pre warning and they can be bought in advance.

My local gum clinic give out skyns if you ask for latex free which is how I discovered them, durex make me sore.

Ebay is a great source for bulk purchases of condoms at a really good price.

I wish most girls did this! Maybe I will start asking in advance what range they have, thanks for the advice

[Daffodil]

I use whatever they have!

I’ve not read the thread but my understanding is some girls wont trust a punters condoms?

Regardless I can get off in any johnny and it’s one of the small things they’ll pay for. I actually cancelled a punt recently because she asked if I’d pick some up on my way and a pack of cigarettes. Punting is meant to be about my convenience.

[B4bcock]

Better check their 'best before' date, they may perish before you get to use them according to your previous post;

I don't see how that's relevant to this post. If you look at my profile you can also see that I hardly use this site and hardly punt in general

I am intrigued to know why someone who has been a member here for 5 years chooses not to read the reviews but instead goes on AW reviews and gut instinct.   Please tell.
  Most of your posts ask for information and definitely give the impression you are a regular punter.

That's a novelty as most lasses haven't even heard of them. 

I take a full unopened box if the lass is new to me.

Never been refused.

If it was a single condom out of your wallet I'd refuse and ask you to use mine

A fresh sealed pack of 3 with the cellophane still intact is a different thing,  except if they are Durex, as in my case as they make me sore and itchy

Good decision bro.

Whilst I have no issue with a SP asking if I can pick up some protection en-route ..  fags is a big no-no. I recall many moons ago one SP asking if I could top up her work phone via a £10 online voucher and she will deduct from the cost of the booking. I cancelled.

Contrary to popular belief some people have sex with girls who aren't escorts

I did not attack you, and it's a bit rich to say I'm the one coming out of the woodwork!  Simply asked why you choose to ignore reviews on here in favour of AW feedback and gut instinct.  I think many others on here would also be interested to hear your reply, but I doubt we will get a sensible one.

It also seems a little strange that you claim to have been having civvy sex, using condoms, but don't appear to have put much effort into finding the best ones to use.
