a good number of folk have sensitivity to the latex, or many times to the spermicide. like each and every incidences while somebody thinks they could be allergic/gentle to a minimum of a few thing, the superb ingredient it to alter manufacturers and see if there is an progression. try a style that doesn't have spermicide, or does not have lubircant, and instead purchase KY or another lubricant. it must be the totally latex (as a plant-based product, human beings could be allergic to it merely as to peanuts, flour, or different plant products), yet try keeping off the spermicides/lubricated style first.

You may be allergic to the latex, or you may be allergic to the spermicide. I found that using condoms without the spermicide helped with a reaction I was having. My main symptom was recurrent bladder infections.

Many people are allergic to latex and can have itching, rashes, or swelling where the latex touched. Polyurathane condoms can be used instead.

it looks like it is. im allergic to most condoms and at one stage was used as a guinea pig for trying out the new materials used in them. It can be fatal but this is very very rare. i was in hospital many years ago seriously ill from using them. if you find that when using them you get any form of irritation at all personally i would suggest you stop using them and see your doc for advice

Absolutely! It's the worst thing, too. I not only itched, got a rash, but it burned everywhere the condom went. Need I say more? Yow! That hurt. I just stopped my husband from using them. I never got pregnant, but I already have 2 grown kids, so it works for me.

Not to scare you but apparently 3 deaths a year are due to latex allergy. In most cases it isnt that serious but latex allergy is very common
