$Points to know when using non-latex condoms with lubricants$

Non-latex condoms are alternative to people who’re latex allergy. And they are growing in popularity. What effects will have if using lubricant to the non-latex condom?

Polyurethane – Polyurethane condoms use a non-porous material that doesn’t break down when exposed to oils. However, polyurethane may be more susceptible to breakage than latex. The FDA approves polyurethane as a latex alternative, noting that the material protects against pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, but recommending latex over polyurethane.

Polyisoprene – Polyisoprene condoms use a special type of latex formulated for people with latex allergies. The same substances that will damage other types of latex will damage polyisoprene (including oil-based lubes). Polyisoprene condoms provide protection from pregnancy and many sexually transmitted diseases including HIV.

Animal Skin – Lambskin or sheepskin condoms can provide protection against pregnancy, but not against many sexually transmitted infections (including HIV), so you should only use them with a trusted partner. They’re safe to use with oil-based lubricants.

Never use oil-based lubricant for vaginal sex, as oils can cause fungal and bacterial infections.

Whatever, using a lubricant with a condom is an excellent way to get a more natural feel while staying safe-have fun.
