How do i know if my girlfriend is allergic to lubricated latex condoms?

When i wear a condom it hurts her vagina. Its more like a stinging burning feeling but it stops after a little. After were done the bottom of her vagina feels like its been irritated and it starts to burn again when touched. It doesnt bother her and she likes it better when we dont use a condom. I dont know if its the lubricant or the latex. Oral lubricant irritates her too.How do i know if my girlfriend is allergic to lubricated latex condoms?
I agree with Valerie, although I will add a couple of things to it as well.





As Valerie said, she may be getting too dry. Lubricants that are NOT water based will dry out the sensitive skin down there and cause a burning, painful feeling. Sometimes water based lubricants may do this as well, I would recommend using jellies instead of liquids as liquids break down much faster and the lubricating effect doesn't last as long as jellies.





Also, if she were allergic to latex, most likely she would have more of a reaction that just some pain and irritation. Usually an allergy will cause a reaction over more of her body, such as hives or a rash, and a hot sensation over most or all of her body that does not go away until the irritating allergen (in this case latex) has been thoroughly washed off her body. So she most likely is not allergic to latex, and changing condoms or not using one at all may only offer temporary relief.





As far as her not experiencing this problem when you don't use a condom - again, it may be a lubrication problem. Latex condoms absorb lubricants really quickly, making it dry ';down there';. You may not notice it, other than the pain and burning she is having. Try the water based jelly lubricants, that should help a lot.





Also, always make sure she is fully aroused before entering. A woman who is not fully aroused can be caused pain. A lot of things happen when a woman becomes aroused; her vagina expands and lengthens, becoming ready to accept the penis. Also, the vagina becomes lubricated, and this lubrication is basically a protective lubricant that does multiple things - it lubricates for sex, it is acidic so it kills of unwanted germs and bacteria that may enter, it moistens the skin inside the vagina allowing it to stretch to accomodate the penis, and so on. If lubrication is a problem, it is not uncommon for women to have difficulties becoming fully aroused and producing enough lubrication (that's just how it is, something as simple as worrying about cooking dinner or taking a test in school can cause these problems, the good news is they are fixable by stress relief and some foreplay). You can use the jelly lubricant to help, but if the problem is lubrication, the best thing to do is try different things. Give her a shoulder massage to help relieve stress (this has worked wonders between me and my husband), or just sit and vent about what's bothering both of you. You will feel closer, and it will help relieve stress so you have an easier time.





Oh, and if you want to know if she's allergic to the latex or the lubricant, rub some on the back of her hand (this is thin and sensitive skin, so it will show a good reaction if there is an allergy). To do this, first take a plain, non lubricated glove or condom and rub if somewhat forcefully on her hand (not enough to hurt, but enough to cause her skin to become slightly reddened), then take lubricant and rub it into the back of her other hand (just like you would rub in lotion), wait about 10 minutes, and if there is no reaction, then there is definitely no allergy, in which case, try the things I have suggested, and if you need more suggestions, let me know, I have a million.





If you have more questions, feel free to e-mail me. I have had the same problem your girl is having, and I wondered also if it was latex, but my doctor told me otherwise, and ever since the problem has almost completely gone away (it still comes up every now and then when I get really stressed, but it's gotten a heck of a lot better).





I hope that helps, and let me know if you need more info!How do i know if my girlfriend is allergic to lubricated latex condoms?
