Using condoms with a latex sensitivity or allergy
If you are allergic to condoms and want to use them, choose varieties made from polyurethane or polyisoprene. Polyurethane condoms are made of plastic. While they feel different than latex condoms, they’re highly effective. Polyisoprene condoms are made of synthetic latex. They’re safe for most people with latex allergies because allergic reactions are usually triggered by natural contaminants in latex, rather than the rubber itself. Polyisoprene condoms feel more like latex condoms than polyurethane condoms.
If condoms trigger your allergy but not balloons or your doctor’s gloves, you may be allergic to something other than the latex. Different condom brands use different lubes, spermicides, and chemicals. It may help to try a different brand of condoms. Non latex condom manufacturers. Email: [email protected]
