Posted: Post subject: Vegan Condoms |
|
|
Back when I become vegan I was shocked and a little overwhelmed at how many products contained animal ingredients. Where was I to find substitutes if they even existed?
Case in point: Casein is a milk protein that is used in the manufacturing of latex for condoms.
As far as I know, there are only 3 condoms on the market that don't use latex during manufacturing.
Glyde: Glyde condoms sold in the US are made with vegan latex, but Glyde also sells non-latex, polyurethane condoms outside the US (the FDA just hasn't approved them yet). The line uses natural fruit extracts in their fruity-tasting condoms.
RFSU: It's the Swedish Association for s----lity Education, a very old s----l health organization that has a line of condoms which are vegan.
Condomi: A German condom manufacturer that uses cocoa powder instead of casein, but the condoms are not currently available in the U.S. or Canada bc there are certain requirements for sale.
I posted this info bc I had to do a good deal of research in order to find any vegan condoms and wanted to share my wealth of knowledge! This is a relevant topic-- might as well discuss it.
Does anyone know of any other vegan condoms?
Questions? Comments?

SKYN by LifeStyles, and Avanti Bare by Durex, are both vegan and latex free.
