Latex-free condoms

Latex-Free

TL;DR

Latex-free condoms provide a variety of options for those with allergies or looking for alternatives, including brands like Lifestyles Skyn, Durex, and Trojan. These condoms, made from materials like polyisoprene and polyurethane, offer features such as extra lubrication, unique shapes, and thin designs. Female condoms, also generally latex-free, present another option for safer sex.

If you have an allergy or would simply like to try different types of condoms, latex-free condoms offer you a growing number of options.

Lifestyles Skyn

These condoms are made from polyisoprene, coming in a variety of styles and a large size. The company says that these condoms are softer than latex condoms. The options here are numerous, with the originals, extra lubricated, large, dotted for a more intense feel, and a selection pack so you can try them all and see which ones you prefer.

Durex

These condoms are made from polyisoprene, and their boast-factor is that they don’t smell weird, and they are specially shaped to be easy to put on and use. Durex at this stage only appears to make one variety of latex-free condoms.

Trojan

The Trojan Supra Bareskins are made from polyurethane, and the company boasts about having the thinnest non-latex condoms on the market. (This company also makes a selection of skins, condoms from animal intestines, which is a complicated variety of saving the planet and killing the animals. (We can’t win.) These condoms do not prevent STIs, just pregnancy.)

Female Condoms

Female condoms are also generally latex-free, and people who use these – men and women – often say that they are better than normal condoms, once they got used to using them.
