So, the other day, this question just sort of popped into my head, you know, like those random shower thoughts, but this one was about the shower. Can you actually, practically, use a condom in there? I’ve heard folks wonder, and being the type who likes to figure things out firsthand, I thought, “Well, let’s give this a go. For science, or something.”
My Little Experiment: The Setup
Didn’t do anything too crazy for prep. Grabbed a standard latex condom, one I’d normally use. Figured if it’s gonna work, it should work with the regular stuff. The plan was simple: get in the shower, get the water going, and then, you know, try to put the thing on and see how it holds up.
The Nitty-Gritty: What Went Down
Alright, so I hopped in, got the water to a nice warm temperature. So far, so good. Then came the first hurdle. Opening the darn packet. My hands were wet, obviously, and that little foil wrapper suddenly felt like Fort Knox. It was slippery, awkward, and took way more fumbling than usual.
Finally got it open. Now, for the main event: application. This is where things got… interesting. With water running, even if not directly hitting the spot, everything is slick. I tried to roll it on, and man, it was a struggle.
- The water seemed to wash away any pre-lubrication on the condom almost instantly.
- My skin was wet, the condom was wet, everything was just… slidy. Not in a good way.
- It felt like I couldn’t get a good grip to roll it down properly.
- There was this constant worry, “Is this even on right? Is it secure?”
I did eventually get it on, after a bit of a battle. But then, the next question: would it stay put? And how would it feel? Well, it felt precarious. Honestly, the sensation of the water, plus the already slippery nature of the situation, made it feel like it could just decide to slip off at any moment. Not exactly confidence-inspiring, if you know what I mean. The natural lubrication from the body, plus any from the condom, plus all that shower water – it’s a recipe for things not staying where they should.
So, The Verdict From My End?
After going through the motions, here’s my takeaway from this little practical test. Can you technically wear a condom in the shower? I guess, if you’re determined enough, you can eventually get one on. But should you? Is it practical or reliable? From my experience, I’d say it’s a solid no.
The whole process was clumsy, frustrating, and the end result didn’t feel secure at all. The risk of it slipping off, or not being on correctly in the first place because of all the water and slipperiness, just seems way too high. It pretty much negates the whole point of using one, right? You want reliability, and the shower environment, as far as I’m concerned, just throws a big ol’ wrench in that.
So, yeah, that was my little experiment. Not something I’d be trying again. Sticking to dry land for that particular piece of equipment. Way less hassle, way more peace of mind. Just sharing what I found out, in case anyone else was curious!
