We actually don't like them. But at the very very beginning we both bought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-236045 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:08:04 +0000 Lozza 236045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: They're great- they're colorful, they're squishy, they're waterproof (who needs bath toys when you have condom packets?), and you can grab a big fistful at one time.<br /> (I'm practically convincing myself that I want to go home and play with condoms) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-236040 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:04:42 +0000 Adira 236040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lozza: LOL!!! That pic is great!!!</p> <p>When Hubs and I started dating, we were in college. I used to just take condoms from our Health Services (they were free!), but we hated using them, so I went on the pill pretty quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-236038 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:03:53 +0000 Meridian 236038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lozza: hahah they are so colorful they almost look like they should be for kids!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-236027 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 14:57:23 +0000 Lozza 236027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: DH and I totally buy the massive Costco packs.<br /> At least LO appreciates it... condoms are among his favorite toys! </p> [attach=1450/12/m7sa3o.436x600.Ben_Protection_July2012.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-236001 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 14:42:29 +0000 MaisyMay 236001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was hubs' job to take care of condoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235989 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 14:31:21 +0000 LemonLong 235989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither one of us was ever embarrassed about buying condoms or today sponges so it was just whoever was at the store would get them. In the early days of our relationship, we both maintained our own supplies at our respective residences. My husband also doesn't mind picking up things like maxi pads and tampons for me either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235920 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 14:02:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 235920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: hahaha! Us too... it wasn't until after we had our baby that we started using condoms. We had used it once "for fun", but I had always been on BCP, so we never had a need to. And yes - it just doesn't feel the same!! I hate it, but it's the only option we have now :(</p> <p>@highwire: whoooooah my lanta girly!!! :)<br /> @mediagirl: ahahaha funny </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235683 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 12:11:44 +0000 lemondrop 235683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: ha! That is pretty funny!</p> <p>I can honestly say that I have never bought any, he always had. If he wanted action, he had better of been stocked up, or he wasn't getting any. Of course we only used them for a few months before I got the pill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235652 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 12:03:19 +0000 Running Elley 235652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only used them a few times this past year on a cycle where I was adjusting medications and we had to be SURE not to get pregnant. We hate them! He bought them though. I hate buying things like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235574 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:43:31 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 235574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we used to use them, he was the one who bought them. He was very responsible about it! I am pretty sure he got used to buy them when he used to stock up during his "bachelor days...." lol</p> <p>@highwire: bahahahahahahahahahahah! I just laughed out loud!</p> <p>I am embarrassed enough to buy HPTs and Tampons! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235560 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:39:06 +0000 mrbee 235560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Isn't this the exact reason that Amazon.com was invented? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235549 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:37:10 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 235549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of us were embarrassed about buying them. So if we needed some either of us would pick them up. We used condoms as our form of birth control for years because the pill never agreed with my system. I hated using them. We would go at it for a little while before he would pull out and put one on. That way we didn't have to use them the entire time. Looking back, we wasted money on buying them. We can't get pregnant on our own so there was no point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235528 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:30:05 +0000 oliviaoblivia 235528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: If that makes you a trashball, I'm a trashcan. DH and I have never used them. He was the first and only guy I ever let in without one. Looking back it was stupid because we were together REALLY early into our relationship but whatever it worked out ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235494 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:14:09 +0000 kokobee 235494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ha! funny stories! </p> <p>DH used to buy them but not lately since we're just going with the flow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235469 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:09:09 +0000 mediagirl 235469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does. He wants to get some, he buys the protection right now. :) </p> <p>Totally hilarious - he went to Walmart for me the other day and bought home two tubes of lube with all his other purchases. I was on the phone when he got home and he pointed at the lube bottles. He then pointed at the baby and then motioned his hand between the two of us. He meant, one for the baby (for the thermometer) and one for us. Hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235457 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:05:22 +0000 Alivoo01 235457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: Oooo la la! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235423 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:55:55 +0000 mrstilly 235423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: Wow, I think even I would feel a bit awkward buying 3 big boxes of condoms. That was so considerate of your SO's friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235420 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:54:54 +0000 mrstilly 235420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree that I hate condoms. I'm happy to be starting back on BC pills so we can stop using them. We've been using them since we had DS until I went back on the pill. And clearly we didn't use them well enough since I've had 3 pregnancy worries in the last few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235404 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:51:11 +0000 DillonLion 235404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Ha, well, during our crazier days we did a little bit of experimenting...Gah I'm semi-embarrassed to even say. But there may have been swingers involved. And an adult movie theater or two. .. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235395 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:48:27 +0000 Alivoo01 235395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: That's a hilarious story! </p> <p>@highwire: You can't jingle a cookie and not share! Spill!</p> <p>Hubby and I grocery shop together so we just toss them in out shopping basket. He always tries to hide them though. He has bought them on his own before though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235369 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:40:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 235369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't see how not using condoms=trashy? I mean, most people seem to go on the pill in monogamous relationships (at least, of people I know that talk about it). </p> <p>So none of you are trashballs, because I say so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235363 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:39:34 +0000 PrincessBaby 235363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! You guys are funny:) Good point @mrs.bird, I guess the couple of ones we did use were leftover from one of DH's previous "trysts.". Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235348 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:37:00 +0000 DillonLion 235348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He had a stash when we first started dating (gross! they were definitely for a variety of ladies) and then once we were monogamous/exclusive we ditched them. I think we've both probably picked up a pack or two here and there for when I was on antibiotics and my BC was ineffective or we were doing something "wild" (which I will spare you the details of unless you really care to know). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235343 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:34:38 +0000 mrsjyw 235343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: not trashballs, it was the same for us. but DH did buy them. i think i bought them once at a gas station, felt so dirty and trashy. LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doesdid-your-so-buy-condoms#post-235334 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:31:53 +0000 mrs. bird 235334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: if you're trashballs for using them once or twice, i'm in trouble! lol. you may have used them one more time than we have =D they're not good!</p> <p>we've only used one once. it was mine, we were at my place. i know he's bought them before, just not for us. &lt;hangs head in shame&gt; </p>
