Skyn condoms fall under the umbrella of Lifestyles Condoms, an American brand that was created back in 1985 in New Jersey U.S.A. They recognised that a proportion of condom users had an allergy to latex and developed an adverse reaction to latex condoms during sex. Therefore the Skyn brand was created to develop a non-latex condoms(latex free) range, meaning that people with an allergy or reaction to latex could use condoms safely. Skyn condoms are made from polyisoprene. Not only is polyisoprene latex free but it is also noticeably softer than latex providing a more natural feel. The Skyn condom range has expanded over the years to include condom styles such as; Skyn Original, Skyn Large, Skyn Elite, Skyn Extra Lubricated, Skyn Intense Dotted and their most recent Skyn Close Feel Small condoms.

As you are no doubt aware there are lots of different brands, shapes and sizes of condoms out there. So many that it can be confusing to choose which ones are best for you. When you delve into the world of condoms, you’ll be faced with a lot of choice. Hopefully your choice isn’t done because of a tight budget, and hopefully you’ll be able to identify which size is best for you.
This isn’t something that you want to skimp on, there’s potentially too much at stake here. You don’t want to have to make a trip to the sexual health centre, and neither do you want to deal with the all-consuming complications that an unwanted pregnancy brings to your door.
As the name suggests, Skyn condoms are designed to feel like a second skin when you’re having sex. They’re at the upper end of the condom price bracket, but you always pay more for a reason and if there’s one thing that you want to have a high-quality version of, it’s condoms!
What is a latex allergy and how do know if you have one?
Some people are allergic to the protein in latex, which is the thing that makes latex so elastic. Stretchy products, like condoms, are more likely to cause an allergic reaction than products which are solid, like car tyres. Approximately 5 in 1,000 people will have this allergy in the UK, so it isn’t hugely common, but it’s still something that should be looked out for because, as with any allergy, if it’s a serious one then it can lead to anaphylactic shock.
Skyn condoms are manufactured completely latex free, so if you have an allergy to latex that affects your sex life, then these condoms are definitely the ones to go for.
As far as sizing goes, there’s a regular fit and a larger fit. The larger is exactly as it sounds because of its generous proportions; it caters for the bigger than average male penis. It’s larger and longer to ensure maximum comfort for the wearer. It’s made from Skynfeel material so it’s comfortable and soft so that you barely notice it’s there – both parties can feel it all.
It’s manufactured from polyisoprene – it has less colour, a softer feel than the traditional latex condoms and there’s more heat transfer for a more exciting sexual experience. Be careful when you’re buying these though, they are only meant for men with larger penises – don’t buy them because you think that they’ll make you look good.
Whichever size you choose, when you’re wearing it for the first time then check the fit carefully. If it’s too tight, you’re running the risk of it splitting or tearing, and if it’s too big it can easily slip off and leave you entirely unprotected. These condoms are superior to latex ones and are often described as feeling like ‘sex without a condom’.
Non-latex?
Absolutely. The material that these are manufactured out of is the Skynfeel one, which is a premium, revolutionary material. It’s technologically advanced and proven to enhance the stimulation that the wearer feels. It’s also vegan friendly and peanut free, neither does it come into contact with any peanuts during the whole production process which gives you extra peace of mind if you have allergies. Once manufactured, these condoms are then subject to assessment by the International Standards Organisation guidelines. They go through several methods of testing and a rigorous quality control process and feature:
Ultra smooth lube.
A straight fit.
They’re natural coloured.
They have a smooth texture.
They have a reservoir teat.
The standard sizing is 53mm and the larger sizing is 56mm, giving a bit more room if needed.
Intense Feel.
These are made from the same Skynfeel, non-latex material and they’re totally free from natural rubber latex. They are 100% electronically tested, meet the highest safety standards and offer the same protection from STIs. Basically, everything a condom should do – but an upmarket version.
The fact that these are guaranteed to be 100% latex free is a major plus if you know that you have an allergy to it, as discussed above. Peace of mind in the bedroom goes a long way towards a satisfying sexual experience. Worry is not a good bedfellow and why put yourself through it if you know that you have some excellent options available with the Skyn range of condoms? If you aren’t too sure which type you prefer, why not try a multipack of different styles – thin, ribbed, etc.?
So, if you have an allergy, that’s one thing, but if you’re not sure – why take the risk? It isn’t exactly likely to be a problem, but it might be, so a non-latex condom will give you extra peace of mind, which if you’re just embarking on your sex life, can be a major bonus, or if you suspect you might have an allergy.
Buying Skyn condoms will give you complete reassurance that you’re doing things in the bedroom as safely as you can possibly do.
