Strangely, out of my last ten dates overseas, I'd say the lady didn't bring a condom abou 30% of the time. So that opens the opportunity to bring my own. As I mentioned In another thread, I find it hard to get much sensation with a regular condom. Can anyone recommend a brand/model that they've found to be particularly thin (but still reliable)?

Not sure about overseas, but I always bring condoms, lube, and massage oil to all my dates.  (You can deduct this from your taxes, ladies!)  
As for a brand, I prefer Durex.  I think they smell less "rubbery", and I have not had any complaints from any of my gents. I normally get thin or extra sensitive.   From my years of doing this (4 +) I have had maybe one or two break, during anal sex.  
If you are looking for more sensation female condoms are the way to go, but they do take practice, and they are more difficult to change positions quickly.  You do also have to make sure when you enter that you are inside the ring, and not on the side and entering the vagina.  
Good luck!  

I deduct a lot of things for my taxes, miles, hotels, meals in hotels, photo-shots, computer equipment, supplies, software, cellphone, camera equipment, accounting services, advertising, airfare, dues, subscriptions, health insurance, internet connection, parking & tolls, uber rides, webpage....Veronica was about 45K to maintain on 2017 (imagine my tax payment...not fun) since I have my real business & licenses .... BUT NEVER ever would deduct condoms and lube.... (advice from a well known tax person in the industry).

It's a business supply.... just had my taxes done..no questions asked.  

Well, you are right it is a supply... although... I don't file taxes as an escort... but I do file with my personal business (that has a license, it's insured, etc)... I dont want ever have a link with condoms and lube lol in case of an audit and I have to show receipts... also because several regulars pay me via bank transfer & other methods as a business expense... but I respect the way you do ur thing... kuddos to you!

...box. The foil packet is purple too. I have tried a new Durex which is supposed to be thinner (may be called extra thin or super thin). They come in a silvery gray package. I've never had a problem with breakage with the purple ones. These were recommended by a provider years ago. The new ones have been great so far but have only used them a few times in the last couple of months.

Female condoms. For you, feels like bareback without the risk.  For anal, sorry but, I need a regular condom. I would be sceptical of any lady here or overseas that shows up to fuck your brains out with no condoms.  
I prefer to provide my own.  I know there are no holes in the ones I provide.  
Hope this helps 😚

Agreed.... this is our job.... we should bring our own supplies.  

I personally only use those that I bring, and I purchased, check they are sealed etc.

They are rated very well

Reported on the Atlanta board.  Asked for nominations ..... a lady and I would test three during a session and select a winner, which would go on to the next round.  Winners of that process were Crown and Trojan Bareskin, but both were pretty tight for me.  Since then Trojan has introduced a Magnum Bareskin which is much better for me.

First off, I recommend Skyn. They are a slightly more expensive brand, but they're non-latex and I personally think the best when it comes to thin condoms and allowing sensation for both partners.  
Right after that, my personal favorite is kimono.  
As always, I also recommend carrying lube. There are little packets of lube that come if you don't want to carry a whole bottle.  

I file my taxes as an "independent entertainer", I think my accountant put it down as "any other personal or professional service".  I have never been audited, but would love to see how red the face would get for that IRS agent when they went through all my receipts!!!!  LOL!!!!!  

I prefer the purple Durex, too. The Crowns are fine as well.

I'm not a CPA, but my understanding of the deductability of  things used for an illegal activity is that while you must report the income, you can not deduct the expenses.   So, unless you work as a legal sex worker in Nevada, you are pretty much out of luck on that score.  This would probably go for the hotel room as well, for that matter.

well, in my real life business I travel a lot and I use my hotel for my real life as well..... so yes... I can deducted it. I do my taxes with a well known - reputable person.  

tend to be the thinnest, and some of them are crazy strong. And you'll have to be a little-bitty guy to wear them. For me the fit turned out to be the answer to the sensitivity problem. Almost all normal brands are just too damn tight. Experimenting with different sizes made all the difference. Good luck!

I tend to last longer then normal with them.

... use deli-butcher paper cover..w tiger balm lube....(hey,they'll never forget you!)...

I like Skyn the best,  easy to get, it also doesn't smell/taste bad.   I have some of the Crown, but have found those to be a skinnier fit.
I always have condoms and a small bottle of lube.  I'd prefer to use my own, but sometimes if the guy has his own, especially for size issues, I'll allow it.

Skyn Elite's are an even thinner version of the standard Skyn condoms, and they have a slightly ridged bit at the bottom of the shaft which I have on good authority feels pretty nice.

Unless it's a legal activity, it can't be deducted as a business expense.  So condoms are generally not a deductible business expense.

It's lovely not to have that latex "stank" going on.  

Skyn's large is great. A lot of the providers I see use the regular Skyn, but only some of them have Skyn large so I bring some of mine along just in case. If they don't have a large on hand, I always ask beforehand if they'd be ok with us using one I brought since the large's are much more comfortable for me. Since I started using Skyn large I've yet to encounter a provider who wasn't ok with that, but I'd respect it if they weren't and would use the snug regular sized cover.

Is this the new way of living these days?  Dangerously?  I must still be living in a cave if that's the case. I would never take that chance.   I always supply them, never expect the gent to "think" LOL   However, I will say that I have average size and if they require anything else they are welcome to bring their own.  It's such a turn off for me when I meet a new guy (especially with wedding rings on ) and he asks " are you going to make me wear a condom?"  I say NO  but I will make you leave!!  He's already on my "do not repeat list"    

Yes this is true.   BUT for porn stars. As what they do is not illegal as ours is deemed to be.   So,  think about it, you file your IRS taxes for your Vanilla occupation, but then you deposit cash majority of the time.  Where is your justification of why you are itemizing Condoms as a tax write off!  UNLESS, UNLESS you claim you're in some sort of myofascial vaginal massage and you have to insert a wand for say like and ultrasound so you have to buy condoms for that reason.  NOT BECAUSE    Hey Uncle Sam.  Please Audit ME!!   Not worth it in my book.  Just buy in bulk from ebay.  

your accountant wont ask, but keep it up and IRS will.   A good accountant would advise against that !

From what I was taught by a Cpa, reasonable, ordinary and necessary business expenses, even if an illegal business are deductible. Which is weird cause illegal activities in a legal businesses aren’t.  

I come prepared.  

I have my taxes done by a CPA (also a client) so again, not too worried.  The amount of IRS agents that are available now to do audits has been reduced greatly by the government, so they are most likely to request audits on tax returns that have very large refunds, the business has little to no profit after years of being in business so little to no taxes are being paid,  or the business has a very large and unusual amount of deductions, again reducing the amount of taxes that will be paid. (I am none of these)   IF I, or someone else were to be audited and the IRS auditor said that no, I cannot deduct condoms on my taxes, that will simply mean that the total for those receipts would have to be deducted from my total deductions and my income would be recalculated and I MAY then have to pay more tax and possibly a penalty.  It is not that big of a deal.  

The durex thin condoms in the grey package.  
Skyn condoms and female condoms.  
Yes, I find it strange the providers you saw did not have their own condoms.
I use my own to be on the safe side.

As the. OP, let me first say thanks for all the recommendations. I am going to try out some on my next trip. Regarding someone who posited the ladies might be considering bareback, my experience would say no. In Thailand they are super careful and in fact a lot of the bar girls only do CBJ. So it's not that. Same for Shanghai -- BBBJ is more common but unless u go somewhere super lowbrow and local, no bareback.  

I like your Thailand story.  A nice memory for you.  Glad you had a good time!  

Lifestyle Skyn—They are thin & latex-free so I feel they hold up better & aren’t as prone to breakage or deteriorating like natural latex.  They’re made of some other type of synthetic plastic, polyisoprene, which makes it thinner and stronger.  

..you win...female condoms are my first choice...but-i'll use anything that you suggest and feels good inside you...

As a man that’s endowed with some decent girth those lifestyle types of rubbers feel like they’re choking me. Also remember some women are allergic to latex so the non-latex makeup of Skyn eliminates that problem. Plus it’s not animal-based so they protect against std’s AND pregnancy.

However, if a gentleman has a latex allergy he will need to notify me ahead of time or bring his own.  
As far as condoms go, the least reliable are Lifestyles. A lifestyle will pop faster than a party balloon. Trojans are the classic go to but they require lubing when the going gets rough or they will pop also. Trojans tend to have an odor that I don't care for.
My go to favorites are Durex. They aren't available in-store in larger sizes but I'm told they can be ordered via the net. I enjoy the tropical flavored variety when switching from fs to bbbj because they smell and taste great. For endurance and comfort the Ultra Thin Durex are the way to go. They are extremely reliable and have no terrible odor. With a little lube, most any condom will not let you down.
On another note, does anyone know where to get female condoms at a reasonable price? Online all I can find are over $100 for a box of 6, highway robbery!

fc2.us.com Takes a week for delivery. I just recieved 2 twelve packs for I think $36
For faster shipping Amazon has them too. These are the only two places I know of where you can get them. Somebody said here that planned parenthood gives them out for free?

and receive 24 a month, auto debit.  That is plenty for me.  I am new to them and love them.  I just haven't gotten it down for the ring to sit right and my cervix.
