Hi,
The Durex Avanti is also a polyisoprene condom, like the Lifestyles SKYN. I just wanted to mention that, since in the article they were brought up in the context of polyurethane. :)

I like that the Lifestyles SKYN comes in multiple sizes, the Durex Avanti does not. Personally my mate and I have had (multiple) incidences of “slippage” with the SKYN, so we stick with the Durex Avanti.

I have a latex allergy, but recommend these to my friends because of the tastelessness, who likes that nasty latex aftertaste? Thanks for mentioning that in your article!

Thanks!

After my Fiance read this article we decided to try. Right away we noticed that they felt smoother skin on skin, and quite thin. I loved how low odor they were.

Thank you so much! Great recommendation! Your site is amazing!

Will vegetable glycerin affect the condom’s breakage?

Also, are there dental dams that you know of that are non-latex?

Thanks for your awesome posts!

THANK YOU for this info … I have latex allergy and also need slightly larger-than-average size… It was really painful (literally) trying to find some good and useful condom … You know, the swelling on the hand (from the glove) is really inconvenient… In other regions, it reaches new and previously unknown levels of inconvenience… I ordered some pieces (unfortunately, international order) to test and if they prove to be like you said, I may just buy a ticket just to fly to SF and kiss the land (grass, concrete, whatever) near your front door :))

Yay for alternatives! Great informative review. Your porn posts are the most fun but the educational stuff is important too. :)

Thank you!

I happen to be one of those allergic to latex girls, and I am excited that there is something out there like this.

my partner and I are very monogamous because of my allergy, and this just might give us an opportunity to explore more.

great post!
