Latex-Free Condoms

Latex-Free Condoms – Protection Without Natural Rubber

Latex-free condoms give people with a latex allergy or sensitivity a way to use barrier protection without natural rubber latex. This focused range includes external condoms made from synthetic materials such as AT-10 resin and polyurethane, alongside internal (female) condoms, a pre-erection style and designs with pull-down strips or a protective base ring. Several are very thin, clear and odourless, which also appeals to couples who simply prefer a different feel to latex. Compare the material, fit, lubrication and pack size stated on each listing, and browse our full condom collection for latex styles.

Why Choose a Non-Latex Condom?

Natural rubber latex is the most common condom material, but some people react to the proteins it contains. Reactions can range from itching and redness to more serious symptoms. A condom made from a different material lets you keep using protection without exposing either partner to latex.

Latex Allergy and Sensitivity

If you know or suspect that you or your partner is allergic to latex, do not use latex condoms. Choose a style clearly described as latex-free and check the material printed on the packet. If you have had a reaction and are not sure of the cause, speak to a pharmacist or GP.

Feel and Comfort

Synthetic materials are often thinner than standard latex and transfer body heat well, so some couples choose them for a closer feel. Uniq, for example, states a thickness of 0.008 mm for its Classic and Multi styles. Several manufacturers also describe their non-latex condoms as odourless or as having a more pleasant smell than latex.

Who They Suit

These condoms suit anyone with a latex allergy, partners of people who are sensitive to latex, and couples who want to try a thinner or odour-free alternative. Internal condoms also suit people who would like to take charge of protection themselves.

Latex-Free Styles in Our Range

Classic External Styles

Durex RealFeel and Durex Latex Free are non-latex condoms with a 56 mm nominal width, and Durex Latex Free has a straight Sensi-Fit shape and a reservoir tip. Control Free is an ultra-thin polyurethane condom, and Uniq Classic is a clear, smooth AT-10 condom.

Easy-Fit Designs

Uniq Pull has side strips that you pull down to unroll the condom quickly, which can help in low light. Uniq Free adds a protective ring at the base, and Uniq Megasex can be put on either way round and comes with a lubricant sachet.

Pre-Erection and Multipurpose Styles

Uniq Smart is designed to be put on before an erection, so protection is already in place from the start of foreplay. Uniq Multi has a specially designed base that, according to the maker, allows the condom to be used in more than one way, as described on its listing.

Internal (Female) Condoms

Uniq Air and Uniq Lady are non-latex internal condoms placed inside the vagina before sex. Uniq Air comes with lubricant sachets, while Uniq Lady is attached to a lace garter worn around the thighs.

How to Choose Latex-Free Condoms

• Material: Check the exact material on each listing, such as AT-10 resin or polyurethane, and make sure it is clearly described as latex-free.
• Type: Decide between an external condom worn on the penis and an internal condom worn inside the vagina.
• Fit: Compare the nominal width where it is given. Latex-free describes the material, not the size.
• Ease of use: If fitting is fiddly for you, consider designs with pull-down strips, a base ring or a pre-erection fit.
• Lubrication: Check whether the condom is pre-lubricated or comes with a separate sachet, and follow the maker's guidance on extra lubricant.
• Pack size: Most styles here come in small packs of three to twelve, so you can try a few before choosing a favourite.

Using Latex-Free Condoms Safely

Before Sex

• Read the leaflet: Non-latex condoms, especially internal and pre-erection styles, may be fitted differently from latex ones. Follow the instructions in the pack.
• Check the packet: The NHS notes that the packet tells you what a condom is made of, and that you should not use latex condoms if you have a latex allergy. Read more in the NHS guide to condoms.
• Check the date and wrapper: Do not use a condom that is past its use-by date or has a damaged wrapper.

During and After Sex

• Choose lubricant carefully: Use a lubricant the manufacturer says is suitable. If you are unsure, a water-based lubricant is usually the safest choice.
• Use one condom only: Never wear two condoms together, and never use an external and an internal condom at the same time.
• A new condom every time: Never reuse a condom. If one breaks or slips, speak to a pharmacist, GP or sexual health clinic about emergency contraception and testing.
• Watch for irritation: Stop and wash if you notice any burning or itching, and seek advice if symptoms continue.

Storing Latex-Free Condoms

• Cool and dry: Store at room temperature, away from heat, direct sunlight and damp.
• Protect the wrapper: Carry them in a small case or bag pocket rather than a wallet.
• Check dates: Look at the use-by date before each use.
• Dispose of them in the bin: Wrap used condoms in tissue and never flush them.

Find water-based lubricants in our lubricants and essentials. Latex-free condoms can also be a useful way to cover shared sex toys for someone with a latex allergy, using a fresh condom for each person.
