The BEST Condom Brands According To College Students

Love them or hate them, you have to admit condoms are the most affordable and easily assessable forms of birth control, especially among college students.

You are always just one drug store trip and five dollars away from safe sex, and with condoms being one of the only forms to protect you from sexually transmitted diseases, there is a case to say they are the way to go.

Just like everything in 2018, everyone has opinions on everything so I asked college students about their preferences on condom brands and this is what they said.

Trojan

"Trojan, I love the different options they offer!" - Female, 22

"Trojan bare skin, trust me." - Male, 19

"None, but when my fiance and I did use them we used trojan, we tried other brands and they would always break! But the trojan ones would stay put!" - Female, 20

"I SWEAR by Trojan bare skin. I've tried ONE, other Trojan styles, a whole bunch. Trojan bare skin is the only one that's felt the best for myself and the guy. They're lubricated super nicely (obviously as every condom, if it's going for some time and what not, it dries out, so you get another one or use a lubricant." - Female, 22

Lifestyles

"Lifestyles are my go to because they're usually cheaper than Trojans and I have never had an 'uh oh'" - Female, 18

"When I use condoms, I use Lifestyles in the THYN type since it feels the closest." - Male, 22

'Lifestyles, you can get a pack for 30 at Walmart for 8 bucks!" Male, 20

"Not a fan of them (I have an implant for birth control) but when I do I like Lifestyles I have no idea why haha I think they feel smoother I guess" -Female, 20

SKYN

"Skyn is part of lifestyle right? I like those, mostly because of the packaging." - Male, 19

"My Fiancé and I use Skyn as I have a latex allergy. So far the are the closest thing to not wearing a condom" - Female, 19

"SKYN. Why? Because I already have 2 tiny humans. Jk. They feel the best. " Female, 23

"I like the Skyn brand that's non latex because of my latex allergy. The Trojan non latex ripped a lot last time." - Female, 22

"My favorite is the skyn brand. They're not latex, they feel the most natural (to me at least), and I've never had an issue with them tearing or anything else" - Female, 24


ONE

"ONE! We used to use Trojan but they broke all the time and my school gives out ONE for free so I grabbed a few and we haven't looked back! They're very comfortable, have never broken, and have a lot of fun styles. We really enjoyed the glow in the dark ones" - Male, 20

" I like "ONE" they have a lot of variety's and never had them tear." - Female, 18

"One because they're funny and have unique textured ones, and they're cheaper" - Male, 18

"ONE because I love the designs and they're so easy to hide in my purse or card holder. I would have never picked them up though if my RA didn't hand them out though." - Female, 20


Anything Vegan

"The chemicals in every brand I've tried have ruined me, there are "vegan" condoms that don't have chemicals tho" -Female, 19

"Sustain Condoms. They are vegan, all natural, fair trade, cruelty free, and you can buy online. Lol they also have a subscription that you can take part in!" - Female, 20

But what sums it up best

"Each vagina is different so you may have to test a few!" -Female, 23

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
