Non-Latex Condoms 8 Pack, Regular Size, Super Thin Strong Latex Free Condom for Men, Smooth Shape, Thermo Fit Technology, Ultra Thin Condoms, Clear, Odourless, Hypoallergenic Condom

I'm not sure if I got a pack that hasn't past through quality control, but these Skins Non-Latex condoms are awful. Virtually no lubricant, rolled so tight you need 2 hands to try and unroll them, and by then I would imagine the reason you are putting one on in the first place would have subsided. I tried a couple from the pack and both are the same. Once you do get it unrolled it's more like a plastic bag (and it looks just like that) than a condom which again isn't going to win any style points. At the time of review your get an 8 pack for £12.99 which if they were usable would be pretty good value. There is a market place for these as I've dated people with latex allergies but I don't think this product is the solution. If they had a decent amount of lubricant I think they'd probably be OK to put on, but the plastic bag look isn't really any good for enhancing the moment.

Skins is a well recognised brand in the latex free space and so it was very disappointing to have to write a negative review. As a user of latex free condoms, I have been aware of the brand but I haven’t used their products previously. Although latex free condoms are targeted towards those who have a latex allergy, they can be used by anyone and some people have a preference for them even without having an allergy. Generally, a latex free condom will be very similar in look and feel to a standard one. The issues that I have with this product are not due to it being latex free, as I have used latex free previously and also they are a recognised brand in the space so I have confidence they would have a good latex free offering. The issues can be summarised as being impractical, which given the nature of the use is not a small criticism. First problem is with the wrapper. On paper, they are designed to be easy open and have a slight indent that you are meant to use to open. In practice though, this doesn’t work very well at all. Unlike other peer products where the wrapper is designed to be easy to tear wherever you try and open it, the wrapper is really thick and essentially impossible to open unless you use this indent. Trouble is, in the dark and in the moment, this is high on impossible and you will have to stop what you are doing in order to hunt for an indent. Not exactly ideal. This is very much a pattern, as the second issue is that once opened, it is unreasonably difficult to unroll and apply. It is so tightly wound up that this is a task that is impossible to do quickly. You have to essentially bring everything to a halt so you can sit and painstakingly start to unravel it with both hands. Because it is so tight as well you have to unravel a huge portion of it before you are able to put it on. A real mood killer. This of course impacts the feel, they feel unreasonably tight and have the sensation more of a vacuum seal bag than a second skin. Much more plastic in feel than I am used to. Normally as I say latex free feel essentially the same as a standard condom, however these felt very different. All in all I was very disappointed, for so recognised a brand in this space I was keen to see their offering. However the product is so impractical it significantly impacts the fundamental use of it. Not one I will be using again in the future.

Appreciating that many people have latex allergies and therefore can't use normal condoms, I can see the appeal of these Skins non-latex condoms. But as someone who could use either, these are a difficult sell. The packaging is stylish and discrete, I'm a fan of Skins products and these are certainly well made and look good. However the condoms themselves aren't pleasurable to wear. For starters they are a struggle to put on - the main reason for that is a lack of lubricant, so unrolling is a lot harder than normal. Add to that, if you unroll the condom a bit too far, the material switches from smooth to a very strange 'crinkly' feel and this gets worse the longer you keep it on. While these aren't for me, I can see these being very useful and quite reasonably priced for people who need non-latex condoms. They are well made, but can be quite challenging to wear successfully. You should also bring your own lubricant because these won't do it by themselves.

These are a godsend, as I am allergic to latex (how did I find out? Mid-use of my very first condom, latex of course, back in my youth. Things started to not feel like they were supposed to feel, and then they really felt like they were not supposed to feel. Both she and I were very confused, and frightened. All finally sorted after an embarrassing visit to my GP. But enough said about that…). These take a little more care to put on (good to warm them a bit in your hand), are sized well (they really do mould to your shape, but they are not stretchy like lates), are gently lubricated, have no scent and, all importantly, are not made of latex (plus they are stronger than latex, I was very glad to read). For me, they are a good value, at just about any price (but these are £12.99). MY STAR RATINGS: 1* substandard, mostly cons 2** barely acceptable, cons outweigh the pros 3*** meets the basic requirements, cons balance the pros 4**** good product, pros outweigh the cons 5***** exceptional, all (or almost all) pros

The Skins Non-Latex Condoms 8 Pack are a great choice for men seeking a hypoallergenic and latex-free option. The regular size fits comfortably, while the ultra-thin design and Thermo Fit technology provide a natural, close-to-skin feel. They’re smooth, clear, and odourless, making them discreet and comfortable during use. Being latex-free, they’re ideal for anyone with sensitivities or allergies, and the material still feels strong and reliable. Overall, these condoms combine safety, comfort, and sensitivity, offering a trustworthy option for enjoyable and worry-free intimate moments.
