nothing new to add but I've also had Durex condoms split and use Skyns now

Another one who despises Durex they are horrible and sticky, they gave me awful thrush a few years ago, they smell and taste funny and they are grossly overpriced in my opinion.

Passante all the way for me.

OT: Nothing really to add except lube, lube, lube and drown their cocks in there if you have to because your comfort and safety are more important than some whiny punter complaining he 'can't feel anything' I normally say "that makes two of us" and they get on with it.

Years ago I read about a study of condoms in Nevada brothels. They actually collected the used condoms and ran them under the tap to test for breakage. They discovered that the failure rate with prostitutes in brothels was significantly lower than with the general population and attributed this to correct use. Prostitutes are more likely to apply them themselves, correctly. They're going to use lube. They're less likely to have pounding marathons of the sort that moves the bed five feet across the room. That sort of thing.

Had a Pasante XL split today during anal sex.  The client had not ejaculated but had done a lot of pounding.  He was wide and large ...

We then went for some pussy action and this time used a Durex XL which again SPLIT and he had ejaculated this time.  He looked rather horrified.

I must admit it has never happened before in 3 years of sex work and I always use enough lube.

He was pounding away it must be him?

Annoying but it is time to go and get checked in two weeks time anyway at the sexworkers clinic but it just goes to show even a Pasante can split.

I had specifically bought Pasante XL after reading on here that they were so much better than Durex!

Think on this occasion it was the guy and his technique.....

He was married and uses escorts seldom and always with condoms he said.  So he does not seem especially high risk but I am still a bit vexed.

I like mates skyn too and mates regular. I had a red coloured pasante condom spilt a while back but the client was pounding me. I used plenty of lube too..

I have had both skins and pasante split on me. This was my own fault. All 3 times was because I was having anal and I didnt lube up!

Live and learn

Make sure you use a tiny little bit of lube (if you need it) but don't over do it otherwise your client will barely feel anything.

I thought you would feel more if you put lube on?  Learning curves on this thread!!

I use Durex, no reason, just a brand which is well known.  But I'm seriously re-thinking.   I do buy "special" condoms but they are not regularly used for its high price.  I'll look into Skyn.  It must be dear right?

Nooooo if you flood yourself with lube then there will be no friction what so ever which means they won't be able to feel anything x

Wow...Thank you so much, Kendra.  Great advice! I'm ordering some Skyn as well.  (Maybe, I ought to up my price, too)  Just kidding..(I already upped a while ago)
