Most condoms are made from natural rubber latex. A small number of people are allergic or sensitive to latex, and for them a non-latex condom is the right choice. SKYN is one of the best-known latex-free brands.
Signs you may be sensitive to latex
- Itching, redness or a rash where the condom touched the skin.
- Burning or swelling after using a latex condom.
- Similar reactions to other latex products such as rubber gloves or balloons.
Irritation can have other causes too, such as a lubricant, a flavour or an infection. If symptoms are strong or don't go away, see a doctor. Seek urgent help for difficulty breathing or swelling of the face or throat.
What is SKYN made from?
SKYN Original condoms are made from SKYNFEEL®, a non-latex material (polyisoprene). Many users also like them because they feel soft and natural, even without a latex allergy. They are lubricated and come in a 3-pack.
