Possible to BYOC?

My last newbie question tonight.

Is it possible to bring your own condoms?

I'm one of those guys who hates condoms, they take the feel out of it for me, except I found one brand that is amazing and feels close to bareback.  I'd want to take this with me.  Is it a possibility?

The provider shouldn't have any qualms in allowing you your choice in prophylactic protection, especially since you are saving her the capital expense thus raising her profit margin.

Think about it:  That thin strip of latex or plastic is all that stands between their livlihood (not to mention life and pregnancy) and ending it.

It is not irrational for them to fear that a guy may be twisted enough to want to do something like poke holes in a condom or, in any case, they may feel that the "super thin" condoms just don't measure up to the regular ones.

I would suggest that you discuss this first with the provider and if it is a big deal for you, find a provider that is open to using the brand you want to use.

Don't assume.

Make sure you bring in a well-reviewed condom with its original package.

and only once has the provider refused them. I use a well known brand that works well for me.

Just curious, on what grounds did they refuse your condom?

Here's the brand I'm totally nuts about.

I prefer not to use condoms brought by someone else because I have discovered that when I use a variety of condoms, I tend to get irritated and sore. When I stick with a single brand all the time, I have no problems. So when asked by a gentleman who brought his own, I generally say thank you, but I prefer to use the ones I have on hand.

1) the taste, most providers like to apply the cover orally, or at least moisten things once the cover is on by mouth.  More than once, I've heard a provider say "not that one, they taste awful".

2) allergies.  I recently met a agency gal who searched through the available condoms to avoid the ones she reacted to.

3) distrust.  If you bring your own, let her see that the packaging is intact.

It doesn't identify the company that makes them nor even the country.

Most well known brands are made in the US in government inspected factories.

Some hard Googling dug up some info.  I've enjoyed these condoms with no issues for a few years now.  Just worth a mention, I am in no way associated with this company.  I'm just glad I found a condom that doesn't make me feel like I've slipped a canvas sack over my pole.

Manufactured by:
Paradise Marketing
Vista, CA

Oh.  After further digging, it looks like Paradise Marketing owns all these major brands and more: Trojan, Durex, Crown, Kimono, LifeStyles.  That should put your mind at ease. ;)

"Paradise condoms are electronically tested and FDA approved for pregnancy and disease prevention.  All Paradise condoms meet or exceed every international manufacturing standard so you can focus on meeting her internal man-handling standards!"

And here's the pitch:
Paradise Super Sensitive condoms - Produced in one of the most advanced latex factories in the world, Paradise condoms were designed and carefully crafted by a noted expert with over thirty years experience in the condom industry.  Similar to the Crown condom, Paradise condoms are about 10% wider than average condoms and feel as if you are wearing nothing at all.

Always bring your own in case the lady doesn't have any.  Be prepared.

I'd say you hadn't done your research.

Would you see a surgeon who asks you whether you have a pocket knife on you?  :o)

I have had it happen a few times with different providers. When the session was over I let them keep the rest in the box.

I had a lady once ask for the rest of the box because she didn't have any.

I too have had occassions where the provider discovered that she had no condoms with her. Unfortunately the timing is usually not good. The first time I also had none so the session took a different direction. I now am prepared for this and trash theem if not needed after about 6 months or so. No longer the condom in the wallet that lasted for years.

A lot of condoms have spermicides and lubricants which very can give very sensitive women yeast infections or cause other irritations.

Be sure to let your lady know ahead of time what condoms you plan on using just in case they are not good for her.

A few weeks ago, I visited an agency gal.  She spent a few minutes searching through the provided condoms, wanting to avoid the ones she was allergic to.
