Back in 2013 president of Sagami Rubber Industries Ltd, world known Japanese condom manufacturer, announced that they’ve developed and put in manufacturing “Sagami Original 0.01”!
Sagami Original rose to fame for its high levels of success and decreasing thickness. The range has been constantly updated to meet the new benchmarks set by the industry, and to also beat the same.
As a celebration of its 10th anniversary, Sagami Original 0.01 was launched with a decreased thickness of 18 microns, ensuring maximal eroticism and related sensation with minimal discomfort. The model boasts of being up to 25% thinner than the previous model and is being marketed as the thinnest in the past of Sagami Original!

The product immediately grabbed our attention for its specifications. It is certainly a must try for all those who are on the hunt for some of the thinnest condoms in the world.
Sales were started on 18th of November 2013, but only in Tokyo, while the rest of the world will have to wait till they expand their production capacity.
UPDATE – Sagami 0.01 is now available on worldcondoms.com.
Condom-sizes.org team was lucky enough to receive a few exclusive samples of these new unbelievably thin condoms. We took some photos and one of our readers/supporters got two testing samples. Below we’ll write a bit more about our impressions of Sagami Original 0.01.
First, lets take a look at the specifications.
Product Specification
Nominal width: 55±2mm (110mm circumference)
Length: 170±10mm
Thickness: 18 microns (measured by Sagami standard)
Shape: Straight wall, teat ended
Color: Transparent
Lubricant: Silicone-based lubricant, non-spermicidal
Safety standard: Sagami standard
Retail packing (SKU): 5-pieces pack
As you can judge by its dimensions this condom would best suit those who usually use a regular or a smaller sized condom. The nominal width is actually a bit wider than a regular latex condom width, but keep in mind that polyurethane (which this condom is made of) is less stretchable than latex. So the tightness and constricting feeling might be even more evident in the case of a misfit size.
Although its less stretchable that doesn’t mean it’s less reliable. The Sagami safety standards are ensuring the reliability and security of each polyurethane condom they produce. Intrigued by its thickness I used some force to stretch it as far as it goes but it stayed in one piece.
Each sample condom came in a neat little paper box, and you can see below how it looks after opening it:
Here’s how it looks up-close after unwrapping the foil on the top (right side, of course). I placed the Okamoto Skinless Skin condom on the left, which has a thickness of 0.047mm, for comparison. You obviously don’t need a microscope to see the difference – Sagami is so much thinner!
On the first look this condom is so thin and fragile that some might be a bit skeptical in its durability. It proved it self in practical use however, as our reader confirmed.
You know that usual smell of a latex condom? Well this condom has no smell at all and I think you’ll agree that’s a neat feature of a polyurethane condom. On the other hand the extreme thinness and the fact it’s less stretchable makes it a bit harder to unroll.
What you’re probably want to find out is ‘can you really feel the difference?’. Well, two samples by one guy is far from a study environment. But yes, our reader who tried it likes it and says he can really feel a difference. He asked us for more of these. Well, sorry buddy, you’ll have to head out all the way to Tokyo Amazon for more.
Or be patient until they release the sales worldwide. Suggested retail price for 5-pieces pack is 1,200 Japanese yen, which is around 12 bucks.
UPDATE – Sagami 0.01 is now available on worldcondoms.com

Hi, Nick can I buy some of these from you. I can do paypal.
not sure if Nick is following this…
if you want to try the next closest to Sagami 0.01 you can try Sagami 0.02 Premium (it has a width of 0.022 mm vs 0.018mm width of Sagami 0.01) – it’s available on Amazon
Hi Nick,
How can i buy okamoto from you!
Thanks Nick! you saved my dick.
hey Pete,
Okamoto is releasing their own 0,01 line too. check it out: http://okamoto001mm.jp/
Also it seems as if they are giving out a trial of the 0,01 in 0,02 condom packages! (I think)
Hey Kiril, thanks for the update! I glanced at the site, I think you’re right about the trial thing (from what I could understand from google translate version). will try to find more info…
Quero uma amostra grátis sou brasileira
I want a free sample’m Brazilian
Where in Tokyo can I buy them? I’m in Ariake, Tokyo.
they have them on amazon.co.jp
I’m confused by the dimensions. It says the diameter (D) is 55mm+/-2mm and the circumference is 110mm. From geometry (and my favorite, calculus if we take the derivative of the area with respect to radius) we know that the circumference = 2πR = πD = 3.14 * 55mm +/-2mm = 166.5mm – 179.1mm. The difference of 166.5-110 = 56.5mm! One of these numbers is wrong. If you say it’s the stretched diameter then I say technical specifications must be consistent. I’m sure it’s tough to recruit the top-rated engineers into cutting edge (so tempted to change those t’s to ;-)) condom design. I hope they are better at thickness! (just had a flashback of http://youtu.be/wCF3ywukQYA at 0:25s “Condamns”)
hey Scooter. no, it’s not diameter that’s 55mm but flat width. that’s how they measure condoms. I wrote about that in few other posts and comments (eg. here).
ps. LOL for that LKM sketch, now I can’t stop watching his other videos :)
With respect, if the flat measurement is 55mm, then this is the diameter, and circumference measurement is incorrect, assuming it’s cross-section is a circle. If the circumference is truly 110mm, then diameter is incorrectly stated.
Btw, amazon link is dead, and they apparently are unavailable on amazon.
the width is measured when the condom is lying flat, check out this post for more info:
https://www.condom-sizes.org/condom-sizes/condom-width-measured
and thanks for pointing out the dead link. you’re right, they are no longer available on amazon.com, but I’ve found them on amazon.ca and amazon.co.uk (as well as sampsonstore.com)
I’ve updated the post with these links
At Amazon, the nominal width is noted as ’36±2mm (110mm circumference)’. what measurement are they using :-)
I just saw these today but am confused. What is the difference between Sagami .01 and .02 condoms?
slightly thinner, 0.018mm vs 0.024mm
can I get this product in Ghana
you can find same condoms with better price: worldcondoms.com
Hi, I’m selling these based in Australia.
Let me know if you are interested. Thanks
I’m 7″ will it fit?
hi, it depends on your circumference.

I’m confused by the sizing. You mention that it is 55mm diameter, but the one I’ve seen which has a box identical to the one in this article, is listed as 38mm. I’m refering to the one for sale on AliExpress. The link to Amazon in this article is broken. Searching for them on Amazon brings up the condom, but it doesn’t list the size. So are they 55mm or 38mm? Thanks.
These are the details of the one on AliExpress
Product Size: ( Length × Diameter): 190mm × 38mm
