The irritating barriers of sex
Every time you have protected sex, do you experience a burning sensation around your vagina? While this could be due to lack of lubrication, it could also be an allergic reaction to the condom.
Condoms come in many shapes and sizes....ribbed, banana flavoured, every colour of the rainbow, small, large! No matter which one you go for, all condoms are made of latex rubber, which suits most skin types. But if your skin is sensitive of if you're allergic to latex, then it could cause irritation or an infection.
The friction between the latex and the skin could be the cause of vaginal irritation, soreness and rashes. At times, you may experience a burning sensation while urinating.
In some cases, the lubricants used in the condom may not suit your skin and lead to an infection. You could also be allergic to a specific brand of condoms. At times, the condom may not be the cause at all. Your infection could be due to lack of lubrication. A first action to take to overcome this discomfort is using a lubricant containing ingredients that support your natural vaginal pH.
