New condom option for latex-sensitive lovers

Latex doesn’t agree with my delicate flesh, so I thrilled when the non-latex Durex Avanti condoms came out way back when. They’re made of polyurethane and while they have a bit of a Ziploc-baggie feeling — even when they have to stretch extra extra tight around the person wearing them (ahem). But they don’t irritate and burn the skin the way latex does for those who are allergic or sensitive to latex.

Lifestyles has just introduced a new non-latex condom, made of polyisoprene, called SKYN. They’re also taking a wild step in their advertising, at least for the United States, with a television spot showing sex (rather than the traditional way to sneak condom ads onto TV, using humor, although you can’t beat the balloon animals). The claim is that SKYN not only protects against children and other sexually transmitted diseases, it “enhances sensation” and “feels like nothing at all.”

You can see the ads and other marketing here:

I’d like to hear from you about SKYN condoms as it’s going to be a while before I have the opportunity to try them. (Testing condoms on a toy doesn’t provide enough data for a real review.)
