You allergic to latex more then likely,

Buy some lamb skin condoms they prevent pregnacy like a normal one but dont prevent STD's
or a polyeurathane condom they are very exspensive,

Most women aren't allergic to latex but to Nonoxonyl-9 in the lubricant/the lubricant itself.

Trojan and Durex are the worst offenders(they have this lube stay away from them) but Lifestyles and Beyond 7 (an Okimoto brand - all the others should be good too) are fine to use.

try somie lifestyles and see if you have the same problem if so your probably allergic to latex so then contact a doctor or try a lambskin or polyeurathen

Put on a pair of latex gloves to check wait for 10-15 minutes or so and see if your hands feel itchy or break out in hives. If you don't have latex gloves you could just touch a condom for the same amount of time and see if it bothers your skin. It may also be the lubricant on the condoms, talking to your doctor wouldn't hurt either.

It also might be a Urinary Tract Infection. It depends how quickly you have a reaction. Use a different kind of condoms, those that are not made for rubber synthetics. Make sure to urinate right after sexual intercourse, wipe from front to back. and drink plenty of fluids!

try a non latex condom, the latex is probably irritating you, some extra lube may help also

most likely allergic to latex ask your doc

Go to the doctors. They would be able to tell you for sure.

Could be the latex, ask a doctor.

tell the druggist...they have other kinds.

It's STD's my man

take a condom and rub it on the back of one hand...see if you get a reaction

you might be allergic to the latex in them. next time try to buy latex free
