Differences between latex and non-latex condoms
Most male condoms available for sale today are made of natural latex. Non-latex condoms has polyurethane condoms, polyisoprene condoms, lambskin condoms or natural skin condoms.
Compare the differences between latex and non-latex condoms as below:
Polyurethane Condoms
Polyurethane condoms conduct heat better than latex. Polyurethane condoms are thinner than most latex condoms, and they have little to no smell. They are also not damaged by exposure to oil-based products. However, polyurethane doesn’t stretch like latex or polyisoprene, so slippage and breakage rates are higher.
Polyisoprene Condoms
In 2008 Lifestyle’s introduced a non-latex condom called SKYN made from a material called polyisoprene. This material is a synthetic version of a material derived from the sap of the hevea tree and contains no latex proteins, but is as strong and safe as latex. Polyisoprene condoms are not as thin as polyurethane, but they are stretchy and have a lower breakage and slippage rates. The company also made these non-latex condoms available at a much lower cost, comparable to latex condoms. Unlike polyurethane, SKYN condoms made of polyisoprene have been FDA approved and are considered an effective method of preventing pregnancy and reducing the spread of STDs.
”Natural Skin” or “Lamb Skin” Condoms
The oldest of all three materials to be used in condom making are natural animal membrane. People who use these condoms particularly like the feel of the natural membrane. But they do not provide protection against STDs. They are only considered to be effective as a prevention against unwanted pregnancy. Second, the natural skin condoms are extremely expensive. Lastly, natural skin condoms have a unique and some say barnyard smell.
Our factory R&D polyurethane condoms with thickness 0.01mm, 0.02mm, 0.03mm. Although polyurethane condoms don’t stretchy like latex, but our test shows our polyurethane condoms has the very high quality.
