1. Polyisoprene Condom
These condoms are just like the latex condom, without the proteins present in the latter that can cause allergic reactions. Polyisoprene is primarily synthetic latex, a product that is relatively new in the market.

The polyurethane condom is the more popular latex condom alternative. This one is made from special plastic and works two ways – prevent pregnancy and reduce instances of STD. The polyurethane used in this condom is much thinner than latex and is less elastic.
It is not as form-fitting but works just as well. When men are asked to compare the sensations they get when using a polyurethane condom and a latex condom, they say that the former gives them a better experience.

Lambskin condoms are yet another good alternative to latex condoms although it is not as effective. This particular condom is made of sheep cecum and is very thin. The material is somewhat porous, making it somewhat ineffective against preventing STD’s.

Female condoms are inserted inside the vagina. It has two flexible rings on each end. These days they are produced from nitrile, a synthetic latex which doesn’t cause allergies. In the past they were made of polyurethane.
