Because I am a Woman

So I found out that this was the last condom I used before I got a yeast infection. From a Google search, Durex proudly declares that “has NO awful latex smell” and has “Sensual Berry Scent and Taste.”

You CANNOT use flavored condoms for intercourse. They do NOT go in vaginas. Many aren’t tested to the same level of quality, because they aren’t marketed for intercourse - only for oral sex. I’m extremely disappointed that Durex did market a flavored condom for intercourse. Flavors and fragrances do NOT go in vaginas. They cause yeast infections. I’m just so fucking angry right now. I loved Durex, but not now. Their fucking irresponsibility just tore up my vagina.

The FDA needs to require warning labels for all condoms with flavors or spermicide. Can I start a petition for this? Like, as big and clear and obnoxious as the ones on cigarette packs. And not just on the box, on the individual condoms because, if you’re like me, you take condom hand-outs from clinics, college, etc. WARNING: CONDOMS USING FRAGRANCE, FLAVORS, AND/OR SPERMICIDE CAUSE YEAST INFECTIONS. It may smell nice, but your pussy will BURN.

Sorry, I’m just so fucking angry right now.
