Préservatifs sans latex Skyn (boîte de 10), Mates

Prior to trying these condoms I've only ever used latex ones. I wanted to try these because, whilst I don't have a latex allergy, it felt like latex condoms were always causing a bit of uncomfortable friction, no matter how much lubricant I used.

The Mates Skyn condoms, on the other hand, felt significantly thinner than normal condoms, almost like you're not wearing anything. They also didn't have the typical rubber smell that you get from latex condoms. My husband is slightly above average-sized and these fit him perfectly. The material felt very smooth, and much more comfortable than latex condoms.

I don't need to use condoms anymore, but these have definitely been my favourite and I only wish that I had discovered them sooner! I would recommend them to anyone who uses condoms but isn't satisfied with the ones they're currently using.

I can't use latex condoms so my partner and I needed to find a good substitute.

So far the most comfortable and easy to put on I have found. Still noticeable you are wearing protection, but the least obtrusive I have tried. Not worth looking any further in my opinion.

My wife and I have been married for several years, but still rely on condoms due to her not finding a contraceptive pill that agrees with her. Let's be honest, it's not ideal and can get in the way of spontaneity, but it's far better than no sex at all - the key is finding the right ones.

We thought we had, right up until I started getting uncomfortable after using latex based condoms. Wondering if it was a coincidence I decided to get some of these Skyn Non-Latex condoms. We'd used standard Skyn ones before and liked that, so it was worth a go.

And my goodness, was it worth a go! The first thing that struck us was the smell, or more accurately the lack of one. There was none of that rubbery odour that you get from latex condoms, and we immediately liked them for that reason. They weren't any easier or harder to put on, so up until this point, the experience had definitely been positive. Now, the moment of truth.

I won't go into graphic detail, but they're good. Like, really good. Don't buy into the "it feels like you're not wearing anything" comments because that's probably never going to happen without actually wearing anything, but the next best thing? Most definitely. My wife continues to enjoy them to the tune of having at least one orgasm every time we've used these for sex, and they feel pretty great on me too. They're also far nicer to deal with after the event; unlike latex condoms, they don't leave me feeling uncomfortable and don't seem to leave the same weird residue you can sometimes get from latex condoms.

So whether or not my discomfort was latex related, we're not going back to latex condoms any time soon. They're pricey, but at basically £1 each for how they feel I can most definitely cope with that.

Have used different brands of condoms over the years and these ones are the best out there.

When the guy is wearing one it feels like he hasn't even got a condom on when he is inside. The taste isn't bad when giving head as well. Also they are the best feeling condoms for anal as well.

A long term-partner and I switched to using these particular condoms about a year and a half ago and we won't use anything else now.

We always had issues with other condoms - of various different brands - breaking (possibly stemming from his anatomy, but I won't go into detail), which is not ideal for me as my body does not handle hormonal birth control well and I therefore am not on it. We went from fully expecting the risk of a broken condom each time we had sex, to not having a single break since using these.

I also seem to have a problem with the lubricants used by some brands (maybe a small allergic reaction/irritation), but have had no issue at all with Skyn.

They feel smoother and more pleasant for both of us than other brands, and he says they're far more comfortable for him. They seem to fit him much better and they allow for more sensation for both of us. They also don't leave much of a "condom smell/taste".

Oh and he once remarked on how the packaging is just "fancy" in comparison to other brands, which is another tiny bonus. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone - they are pricier than other brands but worth every extra penny in my opinion.
