allergic 2 latex?

Question

i'm allergic to latex...
can i find a condom that isnt made of latex?

Answer 1

lambskin will not proect you from STDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you need polyurethane ones...
. also are you sure its the latex? do you have other latex allergies like balloons?... hospital gloves? most hospital gloves are now latex free but other supplies are not... make sure it is on all your medical records...even wear a medic alert bracelet.... back to comdoms....
many people think it the comdom but often its the lubricate or the spermicide that is irritating.... look closely at packages but shop around you will find a good online sotre or even latex free at your pharmacy or sex shop.... speak up dont be afraid to have them order them for you... if you are having a problem locating them maybe someone else is.. plus better to be know for playing it safe then being a ditz about your own protection right!

1. Polyurethane. This plastic-like material is now being used as an alternative to latex for making condoms. It is extremely thin, durable, has no taste or odor, causes no known allergic reactions, and can be used with both oil and water based lubricants. They cost a little more than latex condoms, and aren't quite as flexible as latex, but they make a great alternative. Because of their higher rigidity, be sure to use adequate lubrication. And if you do use polyurethane condoms, be sure to read any documentation provided with them for possible additional information. Right now these are sold under the brand name Durex Avanti for males. There's also a female version of the polyurethene condom available called Reality.

2. Natural or Sheepskin. Despite their name, "natural" or "sheepskin" condoms are in fact made from animal intestines. They are just as effective against pregnancy as polyurethane or latex, however they do not offer good protection against STDs. They cost two to three times as much as latex and are not as widely available. Oil and water based lubricants can be used with them. For couples merely seeking an alternative to latex and protection against pregnancy they are worth a mention.

3.Latex. (for comparison) Latex condoms are by far the most abundant on the market. They are relatively inexpensive, thin, flexible, and extremely effective against pregnancy and STDs including AIDS. The only drawbacks include possible allergies to latex and bad taste of the latex rubber. Oil based lubricants such as Vaseline and cold cream will break down latex rubber so be sure to use water based lubricant. Latex condoms cannot be used in chlorinated swimming pools either because chlorine also breaks down latex. Most all latex condoms are for men.

Answer 3

i know they make lamb skin ones but they dont protect as well especially from disease. they are more prego prevention. i have a condom problem myself. im allergic to all the lubricants and my BF is a magnum. they dont make unlubed magnums. so we emailed the companies and asked if they made em. They said no but they really RELY on emails like ours to make new products. You may go to the trojan site and ask if they make non-latex condoms. posible some out of neoprene. thats what we use in the EMS for gloves for people who are allergic to latex. Good luck and kudos for being responsible.
