a condom is essential wear

"They don't fit me!"

"They hurt"

If a condom is too tight it may be uncomfortable. However, condoms come in a whole range of sizes so you should easily be able to find one that fits properly. Think about it - a condom can hold 14 pints of beer, that's about 24 cans of coke - so it should have no problems fitting round your or your partner's manhood.

If the condoms you have been using were too small, look out for brands that come in a bigger size (and try one on before you have sex so you feel more comfortable). You can always discuss with your GP, community contraception clinic or pharmacist to find a brand to suit you'.

Or it may hurt, because you are allergic to them (See "I'm allergic to them").
