I’m allergic to latex! What can I use instead of latex condoms?
There are two alternatives to latex condoms for people who are concerned about reducing the risk of sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy. Female condoms are made of polyurethane. When used correctly and consistently, they’re up to 95 percent effective against pregnancy, and they also reduce the risk of infection. Currently, the only brand on the market is FC Female Condom.
Polyurethane male condoms are also available. Polyurethane condoms (both female and male) are usually more expensive than latex condoms, but they can be used with both oil — and water-based lubricants.
