My Girlfriend Has an allergy to the Latex in condoms.....?


My GF has an allergy to the latex stuff in condoms and she would prefer not to take contraceptive pills. Any alternatives?

there are condoms out there that are latex free, if all else fails ask the pharmacist, they can help you locate what she will need

Yep. Use non-latex condoms. Your choices are polyurithane and lamb skin.

There are also foams and suppositories. Then there's the diaphragm. They even have a spermacidal melting strip that looks like a listerine breath strip you put into the vagina after sex. It's kind of weird. Go ask your local pharmacist. Don't be embarrassed. I'd rather be shy and embarrassed than pregnant!!!!

There is a brand of condoms called avanti They are latex free and work (and feel) pretty good

There are latex free condoms. Ask the pharmacist. If all else fails, there is Depo Provera, a shot taken every three months. You have to go to doctor to get it though.~

non latex condoms

Best way and saving you lot of money is
Don't have sex.

DO ORAL.

Latex condoms are up to 98 percent effective against pregnancy. Polyurethane male condoms are slightly more likely to break than latex condoms, but they are nearly as effective. There are also polyurethane female condoms, which are up to 95 percent effective against pregnancy when used correctly. Both latex and polyurethane condoms reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections.

There are also condoms made of animal tissue. They reduce the risk of pregnancy, but do not offer as good a defense against sexually transmitted viruses as those made of latex or polyurethane.

there are latex-free condoms...go to any store that sells condoms. Some may be expensive (like lamb skin, I think are like $40 for just a few)
