As a single, young(ish), broke, yet safe woman in Manhattan, it can become quite pricey to purchase condoms on a regular basis to protect yourself from the unwashed, equally unemployed men of New York...especially after your $40 copay per visit gyno tells you that you are allergic to latex.
Though being able to save on yeast infection medication is nice, the only over-the-counter non-latex condoms that can be purchased using a credit card (because you never have cash) are Durex's new Avanti condoms. Now, no one likes Durex. They are the Hunts Ketchup of the condom world. But you try it, because for once you'd like to not wake up two days after a one-night stand and realize not only was the sex bad, but that you are also a human bread factory.
The non-latex don't just break, they fucking disintegrate. In the excitement of a man not having ED, this is the last thing you need. Especially financially due to the additional trips to the gyno for STD testing and wire hangers from the dry cleaner. The box of condoms (3) goes for $12.99 and with one breaking about a third of the time that is $12.99 per Coyote Ugly.
