Hi Masno22! Welcome to the boards.
Latex gloves are great for sexual pleasure, but I understand that not everyone has them at bay. If buying a box of condoms, be it in person or online, is an issue for you (especially since there's a lot of stigma surrounding it—as a fellow Southeast Asian, I know what it's like), you should be able to purchase latex gloves at a nearby pharmaceutical center, and you'll get less judgmental looks from those around you (though they shouldn't have been judgmental to begin with :'))
I wonder if food-grade plastic wrap can help you in this case. People usually have them to keep food safe, and they're rather gentle on the skin--just be sure to regularly replace them. Also, note that plastic wraps may not be the most effective in protecting you from STIs or other injuries.
Alternatively, you can use towels to wrap the sock--the softer, the better. Maybe the sensation will be different, but towels are something we see and use everyday. Instead of full-body towels, you can use smaller ones.
Do any of these suggestions sound good to you?
