Polyurethane condoms are: the pros and cons, prices, reviews

For a long time produced only condoms made of latex. But this material has several disadvantages: causes an allergic reaction, has an unpleasant smell. Not so long ago we created an excellent replacement contraception latex - polyurethane condoms. This synthetic substance has eliminated the problems associated with the Latex Condom.

Advantages and disadvantages

According to its characteristics of a polyurethane condom is not much different from the latex article. But the synthetic material has a number of advantages that distinguish it from the standard condom.

Firstly, it does not cause allergic reactions. If the partner appeared itching, redness or rash on the genitals during sex, it can safely buy contraceptive polyurethane. With this condom will definitely avoid the unpleasant symptoms.

Secondly, polyurethane condom during sex feelings more intense than with latex. This is due to the fact that the first thickness is 3 or more times less than classical condom.

A definite plus - the appearance of a condom. Polyurethane contraceptives are absolutely transparent, and therefore practically invisible on the penis of the partner. This type of condom latex compares favorably with the complete lack of odor.

Despite the small thickness, polyurethane condoms effectively protect against transmission of sexually transmitted diseases and prevent the development of an unwanted pregnancy. All thanks to the fact that the synthetic molecules are in close contact with each other.

Another advantage - the ability to use any lubricant together with a condom: an aqueous and oil-based (petroleum jelly). At the same time with latex condom supplies only the aqueous lubricant can be used as fats destroy latex.

Abundance advantages of polyurethane condoms obscure their drawbacks:

• bad elasticity of the material - condoms often slide off during intercourse and torn at the stormy, passionate sex;
• high price - more expensive polyurethane latex, because products made of it are more expensive;
• lack of pharmacies - if the classic condoms can be purchased at any drugstore or even a supermarket, the polyurethane contraceptives have to be ordered on the Internet.
