Q & A with Kara_Sutra

Is there such thing as non latex condoms?

 

Question:


Hi Kara_Sutra, I just wanted to say that I love your videos and the new website! I have a question of my own that I don't see anywhere so I figured I'd just send it in a message. My boyfriend and I have had sex before, we always use condoms but sometimes I get a rash or sore after. We've ruled most things out, however we were wondering if there were such things as non latex condoms and where we could get them?

I'd really appreciate an answer, even a video! Thanx in advance

Dear Wondering in Wisconsin,

Thanks for watching and supporting what I do!

There are condoms not made out of latex but they tend to be pretty pricey. So if you dont infact have an latex allergy to latex I don't suggest you use them.

Also keep in mind that you should see your doctor if after every time you have sex you break out in a rash. I might not be an allergy, but instead an STD. It's nothing to be embarrassed about or worth causing any worry. You could even have your doctor test you for a latex allergy, which might offer the best assistance.

As for the different types of condoms, should you decide to try them;

Lamb skin: Trojan's Naturalamb is one of the last remaining brands widely available. Some people who use them rave about their comfort, while others complain that there is a distinct farm-like smell to them. The most important thing to know about natural membrane condoms is that they do not provide protection from STDs -- they are only effective as a barrier for contraception.

Polyisoprene: For people with latex allergies, SKYN condoms are an amazing breakthrough and, thankfully, a much more affordable option for protection from pregnancy and STDs including HIV. Not just for people with latex allergies, the feel of SKYN is noticeably different and they may be preferred by people without latex allergies as a regular use condom. SKYN is made from a synthetic material called polyisoprene which is stretchy and form fitting unlike polyurethane condoms. SKYN condoms are not as thin as polyurethane condoms, but in most cases they will fit better

Polyurethane: They are made of polyurethane (the same material the female condom is made from) and are thought to provide protection against both pregnancy and STDs. Trojan Supra condoms are much thinner than standard latex condoms, and they are also made a bit larger (unlike latex, polyurethane doesn't stretch, so the larger size is in part to prevent breakage). Another stated benefit of polyurethane is that it transmits heat better than latex, thus enhancing sensitivity.
