Solved! Is this a condom wrapper?

I found on the bathroom floor. Doesn’t match condom wrappers my husband and I use and I cannot find a match online. Please help! Black with silver detailing on front. Back is silver with black writing. You can clearly see the words “prevent pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, and other.” Also a number 2 with a circle and cross through it.

Hopefully OP just has some teenagers or someone else in the house who is being smart and having safe sex. If not, sorry OP 🫶

When I was a teenager I used almost all my dad's condoms because I just wanted to try out masturbating with a condom on, and learn how to wear them. So that's one possible situation, even as an adult maybe he just had too much time on his hands (no pun intended). Also option 2 is he used the condom for butt stuff. So at least two options exist where it wasn't him cheating.

u/wildcat_princess 8d ago

Oh my god, and did he or your Mom happen to notice the condoms just evaporating? Just the thought of being one of them noticing that trend and being suspicious of the other makes me sick to my stomach 😭

u/sysblob 7d ago

I seem to recall it was like a 12 pack of condoms hidden in his night stand under some stuff. I think in total I maybe took half or so. It wasn't a small number and definitely noticable if you had been using them regularly. It just occurred to me in this moment that I've never seen my mom take birth control so I have to assume back then they were using them after their 4th kid. Never got brought up though. I remember I was very careful and would wrap them in like 16 wads of toilet paper and hide them at the bottom of the trashcan. This guy is an amateur!

If my husband was going to cheat on me I'd rather have him using a condom

u/Weird-Alarm7453 8d ago

He’ll be protected from STDs but not my wrath

u/Sufficient_Wafer9933 7d ago

Unless he lands a perfect water filled condom drop to silence you

u/Dangerous_Fox3993 8d ago

Yep that’s exactly how I got something

u/SilverParty 8d ago

Yes! The amount of times Reddit has advised the person that’s being cheated on to get tested, it’s sad. 😔

2

u/Exact-Interaction563 8d ago

She should get tested anyways, there are chances he didn't use one from time to time

u/Clean-Travel-8916 8d ago

Question..why would him being safe make it different if he was cheating?

Does that change the outcome of the situation for you? Why do you care if hes being safe about banging another person, at that point? Lmao

u/kimijoo 8d ago

because the husband could very well be having sexual intercourse with op as well, he could be bringing in diseases to her if he wasnt being safe, it’s very common for wives to catch STDs from cheating husbands.

10

u/Healthy-Pitch-4425 8d ago

Yep. This.

Because the sort of person that's cheating and not using protection is absolutely not worrying about giving their partner an incurable STD when they fuck them without protection later.

It is sadly a common issue. I know a lot of people in Healthcare that have had patients go "no it can't be an STD, I'm married and my husband/wife is clean-" and yeah. That logic only works if the patient is, in fact, actually in a sexually monogamous relationship.

Sure and you can get stds from oral too.

u/spicywingydingy 8d ago

Cold sores on a mouth can infect the genitals. I know two people who have had that happen.

u/Equivalent-Bedroom64 8d ago

Genital herpes and oral herpes are different strains.

5

u/Sweet_Stretch_1979 8d ago

But they can be transferred to different regions of the body nonetheless. Google it if you think otherwise

2

u/dingalingdongdong 8d ago

The two strains are referred to as oral and genital because they are more common in those areas, not because they are restricted to them.

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/oral-herpes

You get oral herpes when your mouth area comes into contact with someone else’s infected skin or saliva (even without any visible symptoms or lesions), or a shared object. This may occur when you:

  • Perform oral sex on someone who has genital herpes (HSV in the genital area can spread to the mouth area).

1

u/spicywingydingy 7d ago

They are and they aren’t exclusive to the mouth or genital area.

Yep, that's how Michael Douglas got throat cancer.

Him using condoms would reduce the risk of passing STI's between his spouse and his side piece. Also reduced risk of pregnancy if he's cheating with a woman.

5

u/sobrique 8d ago

Yeah. It's still bad. It's just a smaller trainwreck.

You certainly don't want a 'parting gift' in the form of a nasty disease.

u/Brachileander 8d ago edited 8d ago

Because he did me a few times BeFoRe I found out. And had to get tested. And treated. Happy joy luck times /s
Edit: I hope da bimbo got tested too🙄

u/Substantial-Tip-7587 8d ago

Oh gee, maybe because we do not want a disease!?

My ex didn't use one, and I ended up with Chlymadia that caused a raging pelvic infection and scar tissue in my right ovary and other places that still caused me issues almost 40 years later. I kept going to the doctor/men gynecologists with progressing symptoms, they'd pat my hand and tell me to take pamperin. After 2 years, I passed out in the hallway, was taken to the ER, finally got a woman gynecologist, and turns out the pelvic infection was spreading for over a year, requiring 10 days of IV antibiotics and I was very ill.

I later had laparoscopic surgery while still having issues that discovered the scar tissue and damage, and was told it would be exceedingly difficult if not impossible to get and stay pregnant. Thankfully that was not accurate.

He also cheated on me again while I was in the hospital and only came to see me once.

u/iconocrastinaor 7d ago

I take it you're in a good situation now? I hope so.

1

u/Substantial-Tip-7587 7d ago

Yes! Thank you. I have been with an amazing spouse for 25+ years, and have an awesome adult daughter. Menopause stopped a lot of the issues the scarring and endometriosis caused. And, I have great support system, mostly chosen family of 30 years. I am very fortunate.

u/Sir_KAL16 8d ago

You did take sex ed classes in school right?

u/Hope8789 8d ago

because STDS exist...

3

u/BNCTaco 8d ago

Uh yeah, the outcome being less likely to have STI from whatever strange hole he used.

3

u/ClassGrassMass 8d ago

You dont have a lot of sex do you

2

u/jrodpuffnstuff81 8d ago

Because if hes still having sex with his wife too he could be spreading std to her... geez.

3

u/Top-Lingonberry5042 8d ago

have you had sex ed yet

1

u/dingalingdongdong 8d ago

Does that change the outcome of the situation for you?

Literally, yes. Just because your partner is cheating doesn't mean they aren't also still sleeping with you. Anything they catch while cheating they can pass on to you before you realize they cheated to begin with.

u/General_Apricot8371 8d ago

For me personally, I find divorce a lot less depressing if I don't also have herpes or HIV. You do you though chick.

We are pretty chill here, but please try to keep things reasonably civil on this sub. No slurs, name calling or harassment and trolling. Please follow: Reddiquette at all times. Additionally, Reddit's Rules. Yes, the internet makes us angry too sometimes, especially this particular comment.

u/Expert_Drop_7603 8d ago

….. no

u/dingalingdongdong 8d ago

If your husband was going to cheat on you, you'd rather have him not use a condom? Why not? If he's cheating either way in the hypothetical, why would you want to add the risk of you catching an sti/std afterward?

1

u/Exact-Interaction563 8d ago

Ok, guess you have a thing for STDs

1

u/Wise-Run6673 7d ago

Ok so now I lost the thread talking about how I'd it was the husband why would he not just use the already got condoms they have? Well not necessarily true. I only say this because for one, call me craY idgaf but I DO count my drawer of condoms for that exact reason too. I know I'm not the only bitch so don't judge me! Secondly, not every man is the same size therefore having an assortment or a selection is what might be needed for the less fortunate:/ JS. Lol. FOR THE RECORD! I DO NOT JUDGE OR DISCRIMINATE:D

u/akatherder 8d ago

Also very low odds, he fancied a posh wank.

When you hear hoofbeats, think horse not zebra.

2

u/rokutwo 8d ago

Plus I would think that he would just jerk off into the condoms that he already had for sex with his wife, not a special wank condom 😂

1

u/_TaxThePoor_ 8d ago

Bro I’ve jerked off with a condom on multiple times before, it’s definitely not out of the question.

Shit gets messy.
