Sensitive Condoms
Sensitive and ultra-thin condoms reduce the thickness of latex to provide the closest sensation to direct contact with complete protection. Around 100 options including the ultra-thin models from Durex, Control Finissimo, and Sagami Original. For those who want safety without sacrificing sensitivity.
Sensitive and Extra Thin Condoms: Maximum Sensation, Same Protection
Sensitive condoms reduce the thickness of latex to the technical minimum to provide the closest sensation to skin-on-skin contact, while maintaining complete contraceptive and STI protection. They range from 0.055mm (Durex Sensitive) to the extraordinary 0.02mm of Sagami Original 002 (polyurethane, the thinnest in the world). Around 100 references.
Most Highly Rated Extra Thin Condoms
Durex Sensitive Soft (0.055mm, latex): the bestseller in Spain, a perfect balance between thinness and safety. Control Finissimo (0.05mm, latex): slightly thinner than Durex, very popular. SKYN Elite (polyisoprene, latex-free): extra thin + hypoallergenic, transmits body heat. Sagami Original 002 (0.02mm, polyurethane): the thinnest in the world, almost imperceptible sensation. Pasante Sensitive (0.055mm): best price per unit for extra thins.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sensitive Condoms
Do extra thin condoms break more easily?
No. They undergo exactly the same CE and ISO 4074 certification tests as standard thickness condoms: air pressure rupture tests, longitudinal traction, and permeability. The difference lies in the sensation during use, not in safety. A well-fitted extra thin condom of the correct size is just as safe.
What is the difference between sensitive, extra thin, and ultra thin?
They are trade names for the same thing: reduced thickness. There is no official standard — each brand uses the name they prefer. What matters is the thickness in millimeters (indicated on the packaging): the smaller, the more sensation. 0.06mm = thin, 0.05mm = very thin, 0.04mm or less = ultra thin.
Is the Sagami 002 really 0.02mm?
Yes. Made from polyurethane (not latex), it allows for thicknesses that are impossible to achieve with latex. It is practically imperceptible during sex. The trade-off: high price (~$3/unit) and less elasticity than latex (requires getting the size right). For many users, the sensation justifies the price.
