Non Latex Condoms

What are non latex condoms? And Where can I buy non latex condoms?

Most condoms available on the market today are made from a rubber derived substance called latex. Latex is extremely flexible and can be very strong even when made extremely thin. So it was the absolute perfect choice for manufacturers to use for condoms.

However just like everything, some people are allergic to latex and if this is the case then sexual interaction can be very unpleasant for the partner allergic to this the latex.

Luckily many trusted manufactures have come up with some alternative non latex condoms. If you are female or male and allergic to latex or maybe just do not like the feel of it then I highly suggest that you carry some around with you.

Are non latex condoms as safe as latex condoms?

This is debatable but we say it’s better than not having a condom at all so no matter what the result if you cannot use latex condoms then you should always use non latex condoms. Some people report that non latex condoms are more likely to break and slip off. The NHS did a short report on this and it can be found here.

I personally have not tried non-latex condoms but do plan to do so soon. Most major brands have an option. You should be able to get them from your local pharmacy but I always suggest that you buy online. We recommend Undercover Condoms.

Here are some of the non latex options available.
