I haven't found condoms I like at any level (female here), but have mostly 
stuck to Trojan found in the grocery store. Any suggestions for condoms 
that don't chafe, have plenty of lube, and feel natural?

I'm a fan of the Trojan Natural Feeling, they use a water-based lube.

Er, Durex, Natural Feeling.

Does condom usage make that much of a difference for a girl?  I've never 
gone without and just can't imagine it feeling much different/better, 
other than maybe emotionally.

Sounds like you're lucky enough not to have chemical sensitivities to 
latex or lube.

I tend to go with non-lubricated condoms and then keep a bottle of lube 
handy.  Better control over amount of lube as the situation varys, and no 
need to worry about the condom manufacturer lube choice and the contents 
therein.

not enough lube = chafe nonoxynol 9 = possible UTI/yeast infections 
 so, yes. it does make a difference.   
 once you have enough of a good lube, however, it doesn't feel much  
different than having sex without a condom. (to me, anyway. perhaps other 
females will disagree)

There are also non-latex condoms options.  Durex Avanti, and it looks like 
Trojan Supra (never tried them)  Then feel different, interact with lube 
differently, can also be used with oil based lube.  Something to try.  But 
I would recommend finding a lube that works well for you, and apply it to 
your pink parts before sex.  Should let you control type/amount/location 
of the lube better, and hopefully allow the guy options on the condom, 
since I know they don't all feel the same to me.  :-)

Original anon here. Yes, it makes a big difference to me in sensation 
(which is kind of funny, because my RFCE doesn't find it as big a deal as 
I do). I will take all suggestions into account. Thanks!

condom suggestions...hmm..I used to get them from a clinic for free, so 
I've tried a fairly wide variety. I find irony in Trojan being the most 
well known brand, as I have never used a Trojan that I liked! I find 
studded or ribbed condoms to be particularly uncomfortamble (major 
chafing!)...Again irony in "ribbed for her pleasure"....I find both 
Lifestyles and Durex to be good brands. Durex has nice lubricated ones 
that have different fruity scents that are good. They also have one with a 
contoured head that I would recommend & another that I think is called 
"for her pleasure" that has a berry scent and some slight ribbing toward 
the outer rim that is pretty nice. I am adverse to nonoxynol-9 as it seems 
to numb the important areas and I feel slight irritation after it's use, 
so I avoid condoms with spermicide. I have found Trustex condoms to be 
thicker than other brands and therefore not as fun. I believe Durex and 
Lifestyles both have "sensitive" thinner versions that are good. To the 
best of my memory, I have never had any of these break, even the ultra 
thin ones. There's a "plum crazy" condom that is a neat purple color. I 
liked it by my male SO did not. Ok think that's all my suggestions on 
condoms from a female's point of view.

N9 makes me pee like burning.

I tend to go with the large end of normal-size condoms at 
condomexpress.com that are unlubed or mild water-based lubed and 
extra-thin. 
    
  I've gone through a few hundred of these:   
  http://www.condomsexpress.com/express/condoms/o21000.html   
    
  as my preferred make for a few years now.  I avoid Beyond7.   
    
  I've tried and liked these:  
http://www.condomsexpress.com/express/condoms/i1223.html 
  They came with a very high recommendation, but I haven't bought any  
myself yet.  IIRC, they're less expensive generally as the house-brand at 
good vibrations.

N9 is shown to have a correlation with higher incidence of HIV infection 
among females than non-N9 users.  (Correlation is not causation!)

Re: Inspiral: They're ok, but I didn't find them to be spectacular.  I 
think that my favorite thus far is the Durex Maximum 
http://www.condomsexpress.com/express/condoms/d10085.html

Another vote for Durex here also coupled with a negative vote on Trojan.

I don't seem to bothered by Trojan (female here), but the one time I used 
the Kimono brand, I itched like crazy!  Though I am starting to wonder if 
the mild itchiny I've felt lately is the condoms.
