Why You Should Use Latex-Free Condoms

Condoms are one of the most effective forms of contraception, they provide simple yet effective protection against reducing the risk of pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). These include genital warts, chlamydia, Gonorrhoea etc.

However, as strange as it may seem, condoms aren't for everybody. Since the beginning of the condom age and the conception of sexual health, all condoms were made from latex rubber. This material was found to be the best in stopping a condom breaking and preventing pregnancy. While that was true, latex condoms were also providing allergies to users all across the world.

The advancement of sexual health in today's time has provided us with many different protection options such as female condoms, oral dams for oral sex, and latex free materials. For those with latex allergies, the last thing you want is to put something you’re allergic to in a private area, eeekkk!

Latex free materials offer those who are allergic a great substitution to experience different sensations. Even though latex free protection is for those with allergies, the substitute materials work so well that you might enjoy them even more than your ordinary protection!

How Effective Are Latex-Free Condoms?

Condoms are a great form of contraception that can help prevent pregnancy and reduce the spread of sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV. Many people choose to use condoms over other forms of birth control because they are non-hormonal, easy to use, and pretty effective when used correctly.

What Are Condoms Made Of?

Typically, most male condoms are made using latex; however, many people are allergic to latex, or prefer other, thinner materials for condoms. That's why there are now a few brands that also make non-latex condoms!

Latex condoms are made using polyisoprene, which are completely latex-free and therefore suitable for people with allergies to latex. Polyisoprene is a formulated synthetic material that has been created to enhance stimulation and create the most memorable experience.

But How Effective Are They Really?

The effectiveness of all condoms largely depends on how you are using them, and whether you are following all precautions to ensure proper and accurate use. Generally, the effectiveness of non-latex condoms is exactly the same as latex condoms, as long as you're using them right! That is, approximately 98%.

It's important to know that no birth control method is 100% effective, however there are ways you can improve your condom use!

How can I use my condom most effectively? There are several steps you can take to ensure you are using your condoms to their full potential! This is important as it will ensure you have less of a risk of catching any unwanted STD’s or falling pregnant.

1. Check the date. If you have a stack of condoms hiding away from years ago, then you might not realise that they could have expired! Expired condoms are much more likely to break, and won’t be nearly as effective. 2. Use lubricant. Lubricant is ideal when using condoms! Not only does it feel great, however it will help prevent the condom for breaking or tearing during sex. Just remember that you cannot use oil lubricant with condoms – stick to waterbased or silicone lubes! 3. Store them safely. Condoms should be stored in a cool, dry place, not in your wallet or bathroom for weeks on end! Heat and moisture can damage them if left too long. 4. Practice! If you feel uncomfortable putting a condom on yourself, or helping your partner put it on, then it’s a good idea to practice before you do the deed. This will ensure everything goes smoothly and will ensure there are no interruptions or fumbling about!
