If you're looking for a comfortable, safe, and reliable non-latex condom, you're in the right place.
I spent the past few weeks trying over a dozen different non-latex condoms and scouring the web for reviews to bring you this list of the best non-latex rubbers of the year.
All of the condoms on this list are suitable for people with latex allergies — but they're also just great condoms. Non-latex materials transfer body heat better than latex, which means you feel more of your partner regardless of whether you have an allergy.

The 5 Best Non-Latex Condoms
1. LifeStyles SKYN Elite
Material: Polyisoprene
SKYN Elite is the thinnest and softest in the SKYN lineup — and polyisoprene transfers heat dramatically better than latex, making the barrier feel like it almost disappears. Skyn condoms are just as affordable as latex condoms, which is rare among non-latex brands. This is our #1 recommendation whether or not you have a latex allergy.

2. Unique "Pull" Condoms
Material: Polyethylene resin
Unique condoms are a technological marvel — the thinnest condoms ever made at about .015mm thin, roughly 3x thinner than ultra-thin latex condoms. They're so thin that you use two convenient pull tabs to put them on. The sensation is unmatched — though they are on the pricier side. Full Unique condoms review here.
3. Trojan Raw Non-Latex
Material: Polyurethane
Polyurethane is thinner than latex and transfers heat much better than polyisoprene. It's also less stretchy, so keep it well-lubricated — but the payoff is a barely-there feel. Also compatible with oil-based lube, unlike latex or polyisoprene condoms.

5. Natural Lambskin Condoms
Material: Natural membrane (lamb intestine)
Lambskin condoms are the OG non-latex option — made from natural membrane that has been used for centuries. They are semi-porous, which means you feel virtually everything. Important: they are NOT effective at preventing STI transmission due to their porous nature — only use with long-term monogamous partners. They are effective at preventing pregnancy. Premium price, but the sensation is extraordinary.

Are Non-Latex Condoms as Safe as Latex Condoms?
Yes — with one exception. All polyisoprene and polyurethane non-latex condoms are FDA-approved and 98% effective at preventing both pregnancy and STI transmission. Lambskin/natural membrane condoms prevent pregnancy but NOT STI transmission due to their porous structure.
Safety tips:
👉 Use lube: Always. Never use oil-based lube with polyisoprene condoms — it degrades the material. Use water-based or silicone lube instead.
👉 Wear the right size: Non-latex condoms are less elastic than latex, so fit matters more. Don't know your size? Find your condom size here.
👉 Check the date: Non-latex materials may have a shorter shelf-life than latex — always check the expiration date.

FAQs
Are non-latex condoms as safe as latex condoms?
Yes, non-latex condoms are just as safe as latex condoms for preventing pregnancy and STIs, as long as they’re FDA-approved. The only exception is Trojan Naturalamb, which does not protect against STIs but is still effective for pregnancy prevention.
What materials are non-latex condoms made from?
Non-latex condoms are typically made from polyisoprene, polyurethane, polyethylene resin, or lamb intestine. Each material offers different benefits, like being thinner, more elastic, or better at heat transfer than latex.
Can I use any type of lube with non-latex condoms?
It depends on the material. Polyurethane and polyethylene resin condoms are compatible with all types of lubes, including oil-based. Polyisoprene, however, should only be used with water- or silicone-based lubes, as oil-based lubes can weaken the material.
Do non-latex condoms feel different than latex condoms?
Yes, many people find non-latex condoms to be thinner and better at transferring heat, resulting in a more natural feel. Options like Unique Pull are so thin they’re nearly undetectable, while Skyn Elite offers a soft, stretchy fit that maximizes comfort.
How do I know which size non-latex condom to choose?
Non-latex condoms are often less stretchy than latex, so getting the right size is especially important to prevent slipping or breaking. Many brands, like Skyn and Unique, offer multiple sizes. If you’re unsure, measure yourself and check the size guide provided by the manufacturer to ensure the best fit.
