Latex-Free Condoms
Latex-free condoms are the safe alternative for individuals with latex allergies or sensitivities. Made from polyurethane, polyisoprene, or AT-10, they provide equivalent protection with superior heat transfer. Brands like Durex Real Feel and SKYN lead this segment with models that rival the sensitivity of conventional latex.
Latex-Free Condoms: Protection for Allergic Individuals
Latex-free condoms provide contraceptive and STI protection equivalent to latex ones, made from alternative materials for people with allergies or sensitivities. The three main materials are: polyisoprene (SKYN, the closest to latex in elasticity), polyurethane (Durex Real Feel, thinner, transmits more heat), and AT-10 (Pasante, synthetic resin).
Additional advantages over latex: they transmit body temperature better (feel more natural), have no latex smell, and are compatible with oil-based lubricants (which destroy latex). Over 15 options available.
Frequently asked question: Are they as safe as latex ones? Yes. They pass the same CE and ISO certification tests. The breakage rate is comparable. The main differences are the price (30-50% more expensive) and availability (fewer size and type options).
