Latex Allergy: Problem Solved

A latex allergy is a serious problem for those looking to practice safe sex with the use of condoms as a form of birth control or STD prevention. Luckily, many condom manufactures have solved the problem by finding other materials that are just as safe, durable, and equal to the protection the latex condom provides. The two common materials used other than latex to manufacture is polyurethane and natural membranes. Both materials have been proven safe and effective in protection and are equal in value, durability, and quality to latex condoms.
 
Durex condoms, the first company to develop condoms made with another material other than latex provides the same protection as regular condoms but is made with polyurethane instead of latex. Polyurethane is known to be thinner, however, stands up in durability testing as much as latex condoms do. Polyurethane is abrasion resistant, oil and solvent resistant, tear resistant, temperature resistant, and has tremendous flexing capabilities. A material used to make seat belts for a car has been magically turned into a sensitive, light weight, and safe product to use to prevent pregnancy, STD’s, HIV and still manage to make feel sex enjoyable!

Durex Avanti Polyurethane non-latex condoms are safe to use with oil based lubricants, and offers the same quality, durability, as well as sensitivity as any other latex condoms. Durex has over 70 years experience in producing quality condoms that go through vigorous testing to ensure a safe well made product.

Trojan, an American based company with over 80 years experience in distinguished quality condom production has two brands available for those allergic to latex. All Trojan condoms are triple tested for quality and durability and come in various sizes as well as materials.

Trojan’s Naturalamb condom is made from natural membrane, so it feels much more natural and provides more feeling than most other condoms on the market. Trojan has taken special consideration with this brand of condoms by adding its own personal lubrication to each condom and providing an extra added safety feature to the band at the top of the condom to ensure a firm fit.

For added pleasure Trojan has branded a special non-latex condom to the market, Trojan Supra. Trojan Supra is made from the same polyurethane material as Durex’s brand but has some added qualities for enhanced pleasure. Trojan Supra is very thin, known as Microsheer, yet still as strong as that car belt, and can transmit body heat for additional pleasure.

While having an allergy to latex is not a pleasant, it does not have to interfere with peoples’ safe sex practices. Non latex condoms are safe, effective, and the best alternative for those who can not use regular latex brands. Two top leading condom producers, Durex and Trojan, have provided a solution to the problem for all the people suffering latex allergy, while still insuring the safety of their consumers. All condoms, latex, natural membranes, or polyurethane, go through the same testing and have the same product duration, in general 2-5 years.
