    The first obvious post by someone with a vag here and I get condom comments. Can’t say I’m surprised.

      Well, in all fairness, that’s the first you’ve mentioned a vag ;)

      But, until you disclosed being ace, carrying at least one condom for sexual purposes is still a good suggestion regardless of genital configuration. It isn’t only the penetrating person’s responsibility to ensure safer sex practices. Everyone that has a possibility of having sex should carry one unless they’re totally monogamous and fluid friendly.

      Let’s say my and my wife weren’t fluid bonded, maybe I carry one or two, and they get damaged, or I lose them. It makes sense for her the have at least one as well.

      Once you said you were ace, that goes out the window except for the possibility of involuntary activity where the assailant is willing to accept one before committing the act.

      But they’re still useful! I carry at least one in my bag despite being totally monogamous and not using them with my wife. If nothing else, I have one available should someone else be in need of one for sexual uses, or non sexual.

        Thanks so much for sharing!! ;) ;) IMO I think a much more useful and important carry everyone should have is tampons. After all, almost everyone has someone in their lives with a menstrual cycle, and menstruating happens roughly once a month. They can also be used in non-menstrual situations, such as getting badly cut, nosebleeds, or plugging other unwanted leaks. I find O.B. tampons to be the most space saving and eco friendly, as they don’t have an applicator that takes up unwanted space. That does mean that you have to use your finger as an applicator, but if you also carry some wet wipes that’ll take care of that issue, no problem. Make sure you carry one of each variety, as not only can each hold varying amounts of blood, but using a tampon that is too large for the amount of flow can cause toxic shock syndrome.
