Have you experienced itching, rashes or a burning sensation after sex? If so, then your condoms could be the cause. Latex, and the chemicals found in latex can cause men and women discomfort after sex. But fear not. There are a range of non-latex condoms for sensitive skin that can be used instead. To find out the best condoms to go for, read this blog post!
What are non latex condoms made of?
Non-latex condoms are typically either made of lambskin or polyisoprene.
What are polyisoprene condoms?
Polyisoprene condoms are vegan condoms that are made from synthetic rubber. This makes them different to latex condoms, because they don’t contain the same proteins or chemicals. Compared to latex condoms, polyisoprene condoms are stretchier, and often thinner. Polyisoprene condoms also offer similar levels of pregnancy and STD prevention when compared to latex condoms.
What are lambskin condoms?
Lambskin condoms are made from sheep intestines. This means that they don’t contain any of the proteins that cause irritation when using latex condoms. Lambskin condoms seem to provide increased sensitivity and feel more natural than latex condoms. However, lambskin condoms are not as effective as latex condoms. There are tiny holes in lambskin condoms that are small enough to allow STDs to pass through. This means that you should use lambskin condoms if you are in a monogamous relationship.
