The company’s hours of research have resulted in a material that is thinner and stronger than any other condom out there. The company calls it SHEERLON. All Okamoto condoms are made from it. So you get a silkier, more “bareback” feel without any rubbery latex smell. And we’ve not stopped there. The brand is still looking at new innovative ways to push ourselves – and our technology. It’s why they remain the number one selling condom in Japan.

That’s necessarily not the case, as some people are actually allergic to latex. Here are the common types of condoms and their main specifications. Latex condoms are the standard type of condoms. It’s made from a flexible and sturdy material, latex. The next type is synthetic condoms. What’s great about this type is it still gets the job done even though it’s not made from latex. Then there are the animal product condoms. One of the benefits of this type is that it actually provides a more “natural feeling” than latex condoms. However, this type can’t protect you from STIs as it has small pores that allow the passage of viruses.

Check the diameter and see if it fits with your girth. Once you’ve got the right-sized condoms, you can now start using them during the deed. Open the wrapper gently and pinch the tip before unrolling the condom. Check the condom if it’s going the right way—the reservoir tip should be pointing upwards. After that, place over the tip on your erect penis and roll down the base. Put water-based lube on the outer part of the condom to prevent tears. If you’re still going on with the deed after 30 minutes, it’s better to remove the condom and use a new one; this will prevent breakage. After the deed, gently remove the used condom and throw it in the bin. Never reuse your condoms. Also, use a new condom when switching from vaginal to anal penetration.
