Best Non Latex Condoms And Their Sizes

A lot of people around the world are allergic to latex, which is the material most conventional condoms are made of. Latex was discovered in 1919 and was immediately considered to be a better alternative to condom manufacture than rubber due to its long lifespan and, most importantly, its thinness.

But where did that leave people who were addicted to this revolutionary material? Didn’t they need protection too? Were they to revert to rubber, or forgo protection altogether?

Well, in 1994, almost a century later, the innovators of the condom industry finally found a solution for this demographic by coming up with the first non-latex condom without compromising on sensation or dependability (in fact, improving it); that was the Polyurethane Condom.

Further down the line, in 2009, the Polyisoprene Condom was invented and was said to be a much better solution for people with latex allergies.

Today, if you happen to be allergic to latex, there is a wide array of non-latex condoms in the market for you and, in this post, we hope to expose you to some of the best options available to you.

3. Trojan Supra Microsheer

Made with very thin polyurethane, this condom variant is specifically designed to improve the couple’s sensual pleasure. It is clear, odorless, and exceptionally thin – the very features that suggest pure excitement. The Trojan Supra is also compatible with all kinds of lubricants, both oil-based and water-based.

Although it features a bigger width, people with larger penis circumference should keep in mind that polyurethane is less stretchable than latex so they might find this condom uncomfortable (too tight).
