My husband and I used Durex Avanti Bare for oral sex. I usually HATE condom lube and think it tastes nasty almost without exception. These are minimally lubed, but I found them inoffensive. The smell is not at all unpleasant (unlike latex) and the taste of the lube was very neutral.

I have been using these condoms with my boyfriend recently. He likes the sensation they give him. However, we also have experienced slippage – which had nothing to do with size or improper use. I think it’s just the material itself that’s a bit more “slippery” to begin with.

How about Trojan Natural Lamb, Crystal? I think you should find out if you have an allergy to latex or to lubricants? What are the components of lubricants you have an allergy to? Maybe your best bet is to use non lubricated condoms?

Severe latex allergy here, also highly sensitive to various lubrications, etc. Tried these condoms and like another poster, it came off, but not because of improper fit/use. Within hours I began to develop severe irritation, not unlike the reaction I’d had with latex. Being highly sensitive, I can’t use these condoms.

I don’t think there’s a good answer for that Morgan! As for all of these products only testing can give you an absolute certainty.

There are several types of latex allergy, with various triggers and severity. Most people have type I or II sensitivity to natural latex. Other types, such as type IV, are sensitive to many types of rubber products and/or processing chemicals.

Personally I’m in the latter group. Latex causes pretty bad irritation and even polyurethane though a bit less. I’ve tried the polyisoprene ones quite a few times too. They’re better, but not perfect. I can tolerate them on me without too much discomfort. But they’re still a problem for internal use in my case.

So if you’re severely sensitive you shoud probably do a bit of testing (preferably where you can jump into a shower quick) before you try a real world test of these.

They’re definitely better, but not perfect. Haven’t had break or slip issues more than with other kinds though, on box #3 now.

My wife is very allergic to latex as well, and we actually found out the same way as you, Rhonda. So we have been using non-latex condoms for a while and we decided to give the skyn condoms a try. They do feel very interesting, but unfortunately my wife reacted to them. It wasn’t as bad as the first latex condom reaction, but never-the-less, they will not work for us. So, I would say to probably stick with the polyurethane ones for now if your allergy is severe.
