Is It Possible To Get Allergy From Condom?

Is it possible I am allergic/sensitive to condoms? Every time I have sex with my husband I do okay until he puts a condom on. After he puts the condom on my vagina starts to burn. Is there any condoms that are for sensitive women?

Sure you can get the lambskin or PVC. You no doubt have a sensitivity to latex. Lots of folks do. PVC and lambskin both have some benefits to the guy as well... feels a little better than latex. The PVC takes a little getting used to, as it is more of a looser fit, but it actually can make things a bit more interesting. Also you might switch to the female condom which is also PVC
