Condoms

[Inshape69]

Do you buy condoms and have you had any interesting looks when buying Magnum XL condoms?

 

[693987]

Yes to the first and I haven't noticed for the latter, because I find nothing out of the ordinary about buying condoms, XL or otherwise. No shame or nervousness or anything along those lines, and if anyone notices what a random person buys at the store, that's on them.

Thanks for your response

Never bought a condom in my entire life however I once swiped a couple handfuls of them from the campus health clinic, stuffed them all in a old empty printer cartridge box and the two dozen or so lay hidden beneath, among other things, several Vogue magazines in my dorm room desk drawer unused till I moved out near a semester later and into an apartment with my boyfriend.

About a year ago I found them again, lamented a little, opened one to examine shelf life, blew it up like a balloon, bounced it off the wall for 30 seconds, then tossed the whole lot into the garbage and got stoned.

Its too bad you never got to use them before they expired

Yeah, they once held such splendid carnal promise in the mind of a young girl away from home for the first time who was going to live life to the fullest (nudge, nudge) and break a bunch of hearts along the way. Seemingly a couple dozens worth anyway.

I must admit during that brief moment of lament upon discovery I had one of those 'what might have been' moments of the liberated sex machine me I envisioned so long ago but then I looked over (as I was bouncing my balloon condom off the wall) at that big ape playing video games at the other end of the sofa, the one I love so and wouldn't trade in for a new one, and I think how fortunate I was to never get the chance.

That is very sweet

Unfortunately I've never had the need to buy XLs.

There is still time

i used to help run a BDSM play space back in the wee ML days
i would have to pick up, urm, party favors?
condoms, lube, enemas, latex gloves and the like
once, cuz this was before amazon prime, i had to make an emergency run to the local pharmacy
while i am there the friendly bunch of dykes running place also had me re-up the house provided lady business supplies

i don't think it was the Magnum Condoms that were causing the stares
my money is on the 6 boxes of condoms, 12 bottles of lube, 2 boxes of gloves and 8 fleet enemas *they ordered 12 but the store didn't have enough*
1 box of applicator tampons, 1 box of non-applicator tampons, 1 box of panty liners and a final box of heavy flow pads

yeah.... i am no longer embarrassed to buy anything from anyone
like i would buy a dragon dildo from a nun and not blush

There are several large condom brands out there now. It's really not as rare as it once seemed when Magnum was all there was.

I never really had any incident buying Magnums for use with my man. I recall one cheeky cashier woman at a Target glancing down at his package and smiling once as she slide the barcode over the scanner.

My husband on the other hand hated buying them because in his mind the folks at the store would be thinking "yeah right you don't need XLs buddy." Men are goofy.

I used my debit card to buy a load of plus size condoms online. I think I spent just over £50, or thereabouts. Alarm bells rang at the bank and fraud protection kicked in. I had to prove I was me, and had authorised that transaction, and tell them what I had purchased! . Surely they don't do that kind of thing every time someone buys a truck load of condoms? Perhaps I'm paranoid, but I wonder how they compile information about a person's shopping habits. For about 13 years prior to bulk buying those condoms, I had only been in same-sex relationships, but I don't remember sending any official documents about it to the bank, or signing a declaration of any kind.

It can be just as embarrassing buying small ones

I once back in the days bought a package of condoms at the drug store. It felt a bit embarrasing and I just grabbed a package but realized I knew nothing about condoms so I asked one of the staff if they had some extra large ones and that felt quite embarrasing and I almost ran out of the store afterwards.
