Using Non-Latex Condoms with Lubricants

When you’re using a latex condom, but at the same time you want to use lubricants. Please pay more attention when you use both of them together.

Non-latex condoms are growing in popularity, and for the most part, you should follow the same general rules when pairing them with personal lubricants. Here’s what you should know.

Polyurethane – Polyurethane condom uses a non-porous material that doesn’t break down when exposed to oils. However, polyurethane may be more susceptible to breakage than latex. The FDA approves polyurethane as a latex alternative, noting that the material protects against pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, but suggest latex over polyurethane.

Polyisoprene – Polyisoprene condom uses a special type of latex formulated for people with latex allergies. The same substances that will damage other types of latex will damage polyisoprene (including oil-based lubes). Polyisoprene condoms provide protection from pregnancy and many sexually transmitted diseases including HIV.

Animal Skin – Lambskin or sheepskin condom can provide protection against pregnancy, but not against many sexually transmitted infections (including HIV), so you should only use them with a trusted partner. They’re safe to use with oil-based lubricants.

Please note never use an oil-based lubricants for vaginal sex, as oils can cause fungal and bacterial infections. Never use personal lubricants for sexual contact if it isn’t specifically designed for sex; petroleum jellies, hand lotions, massage liquids, and other products may damage your condoms, and they probably aren’t safe for internal use.
