non latex condoms - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

of course no one likes condoms, but they can be more than useful sometimes.

one of the things that i hated most about condoms was that horrid cheap latex smell.

i started using durex avanti condoms which are made of polyurathane and they're pretty tight! (pun intended or not)

they are also supposed to be thinner and transfer body heat better which i'm not too sure about cause it still feels like a raincoat, but i don't miss that chemical smell at all. (i only want one or two smells after sex and they better be coming from somebody not something.)

I do not know if they are still on the market, but sheep skin is awesome.

However, they DO NOT protect against many STD's and have a higher failure rate than latex.

Sometimes? As in those times when you don't want an 'oops'

Finding non latex condoms in Indiana is like trying to find the beach here.

those kinda condoms havent been proven effective against stds but for now are to be used with other forms of protection.

the trojan Supra line isnt latex... i havnt used em before but ive heard their pretty good...

Stay away from non-latex. Latex stretches - polyurathane tears.

I like the polys as well, but the cost deters me. With as much doin' it as I do it would cost me around 3-4 times as much a week... ouch.

Pros: They do transfer heat better, I noticed after running out one night after switching to latex, they are nice and sheer, and they don't smell to high heaven.

Cons: They don't stretch (though I've never had one fail), and they crinkle. Yes, they crinkle. It can be kind of distracting.

Oh, and as for disease protection, polyurathane is a non-porous material, its just doesn't have FDA approval yet.

the trojan supra's are great...just be careful to not put the open package on the furniture. i put the open package on the nightstand and whatever the lube has in it ate the finish off the furniture
