Hi,
Does anyone know where to get some decent condoms in Seoul preferably
Durex or Trojan although I will be happy with anything that fits and still allowes some sensation. I picked up some at the local GS 25 and uh... those just aren't going to cut it. I live in the Sinchon area if anyone knows of a place close to there that would be great.
Semi-Urgent
Thanx

Olive Young carries Benetton condoms. Though I never tried them, I wonder if they could be so bad.

Stocking up before you come is one of those existential dilemmas. "Am I being too optimistic? If I pack condoms will this cause the Great Irony God to make sure I never meet a woman in Korea?"

Bring as many as you can carry legally!! For the most part the condom selection is brutal. Only one brand has been reasonably good Mr.Condom, availability is somewhat limited from my experience, Benneton aren't bad either. Picked up a pack of Japanese rubbers....NON LUBRICATED....good Lord!!, no matter how warmed up your lady is they are awful!! stay away!!

Ha ha ha!

All joking aside:

I never believed any of this talk about Asians being smaller, blacks being bigger, etc. Crudely racist stereotypes, I thought. I mean seriously!

Then, when by some sort of luck a few years back I found that I had suddenly and unexpectedly acquired a Korean girlfriend, who was just as suddenly and miraculously staying the night, and I had to run down to the 7/11 for prophylactics . . .

The dashed thing was so small and so tight that it literally would not go all the way on. I literally couldn't even keep it on, having forced it halfway down: a real problem, since losing the thing mid-action clearly defeats the very purpose of ever putting it halfway on.

And I do NOT mean this as a boast!

Not remotely. I'm small all over, and to be frank had always thought of myself as small-to-normal, at best, in the you-know-where department.

But the Korean condom would not fit! It seemed to have been designed for an elf!

So I no longer laugh at questions of *beep* size and where to get condoms that actually fit in Korea. If it can happen to modest little me, then I bet it's probably going to happen to you.

Hookers here seem to have the right size prepared in advance for . . . well . . . overproportioned foreign clients.

Whoops, I may have spoken out of line there. Sorry, Dave.

Wal-Mart and E-Mart sell Unidus condoms, which have so far worked fine for us (touch, um, wood). Unidus is, incidentally, the biggest condom maker in the world (in terms of quantity, not size of their product). They come in packs of two boxes for about 5,000 won.

Take what you will from this statement, though it's not meant to infer anything: Benetton condoms are really small. Tossed a box of them because I couldn't use them. Fit for an elf, as the above poster said.

Hey man, some of us still have to roll it up because there's so much left over space...

































...not me, however.

Had some shipped from the States. Mind you, not from the company, cause that would never get past the customs mail people. Isn't there some kind of law saying that condoms can't be imported, or something? Anyway...

We had a friend label the package as "feminine products" and they came through just fine. Very Happy There is a bulk-rate envelope from the States--one of those heavy, cardboard ones--global priority from USPS, and it's $7.00 to ship up to 4 lbs in one of them. I think it's about 14" by 8" or so. A great deal!

A. I think the Benneton's are OK. And I've got the biggest cock on this whole peninsula so I should know.

B. Unidus isn't the biggest condom maker in the world. That's Durex. Unidus is some Korean company.

This is a funny topic. Right now there are many men thinking....I use the Korean ones myself...am I small? I have rules in life and one rule is that the condom needs to be labelled correctly. The korean condoms and the chinese condoms just don't inspire confidence.
Do you really want to trust your life on a condom from China? Shocked

I buy American condoms....they have been stopping babies for a long time and are always made with quality in mind.

Hello All,

I was wondering if someone could help me. I seem to have an allergy to latex, anyone know where I can get non latex condoms. Do I have to go Itaewon for them? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

A Ziploc bag and a rubber band ought to do the trick.
