A common complaint about condoms is that they decrease the sensation and that the process of putting a condom on somehow kills the excitement. Well, if your willy goes down while you’re putting on a condom, I’m sorry but it’s more likely that you’re too nervous or inexperienced so don’t blame it on the condom right away.
But if your problem is the lack of sensation, there is a solution -try the thinnest condoms before you give up on condoms or bash them.
Maybe you’ve even tried some ultra-thin latex condoms, but the new generation of condoms with new materials pushes the boundaries of thickness and provides an even better feeling. In this post, I’ll introduce you to the thinnest condoms currently available on the market.
Thinnest condoms in the world
Since first publishing this article there have been several changes on the thinnest condom throne – firstly it was Sagami 0.02 that broke the record, afterward Sagami 0.01, then Unique pull, and so on. Now I’m updating the article once again, while also keeping a record of the old winners.

Anyhow, without further delay and introduction, let me introduce you to the current thinnest condoms (based on my thorough research):
1. Okamoto Zero One: 0.01 mm thick
Okamoto is a well-known Japanese brand with a long history so it’s no surprise they offer the thinnest condom out there, which is just 0.01mm thick. It is made from polyurethane and we wrote more about it in this post.
It comes in two sizes, the smaller one has a width of 52mm and the larger one 56mm. Keep in mind that polyurethane doesn’t stretch nearly as much as latex when deciding which one you’ll pick.

2. Drywell 001 PU Condom Capsules: 0.01 mm thick
I first noticed this condom due to its innovative packaging. The condom is placed inside a capsule that’s easy to open. As the packaging is very uncommon this also makes it a bit more discrete.
But the reason why it made it on the list is its thickness. This non-latex polyurethane condom is just 0.01 mm thick, basically sharing first place with Okamoto Zero One. As Zero One was launched much earlier it deserves the first place.
3. Unique Pull: 0.015 mm thick
The third spot on this list is reserved for Pasante Unique Unique Pull*, measuring just 0.015 mm thickness. But before you rush out to get it, just a friendly warning – this condom is more similar to a cling film than a standard condom.
*update: the new & improved version of Pasante Unique is available from another brand and it’s called Unique Pull.
Check a video review of Pasante Unique here if you want to learn more, and below are the other thinnest condom candidates.
4. Sagami 0.01: 0.018 mm thick
Shorty after Sagami Original condom (see below) Sagami has introduced a new contender in the thinnest condoms arena – Sagami 0.01 which is just 0.018 mm thick. Here’s the complete review if you want to learn more about it.
5. Sagami Original 0.02
Sagami Rubber Industries was the first manufacturer that produced a condom with the thickness of 0.02 mm. To give you a better impression of how thin this really is, I’ll compare it to the average thickness of human hair which is 0.06mm. So 0.02 mm is a third of the thickness of human hair.
It is also more than twice as thin as the standard latex ultra-thin condom (eg. Durex Sensi-Thin, which is 0.048 mm).
As you may presume Sagami Rubber is a Japanese manufacturer with a long history – the company was established in 1934.
This extremely thin condom is made of polyurethane – a type of plastic, introduced in the market in the 1990s. Besides being thinner, condoms made of polyurethane have some other benefits as well:
- polyurethane is a hypoallergenic material, meaning people suffering from latex allergies can safely use these condoms
- polyurethane condoms are both effective in preventing pregnancy and preventing many STDs
- they transmit heat better
- they are strong as latex, if not even stronger
- Sagami Original is odorless
- polyurethane is oil-resistant, so you can use oil lubricants with Sagami Original and other polyurethane condoms
Note: Keep in mind that polyurethane is less stretchable than latex! If you pick the wrong size the constriction feeling might ruin the moment. Secondly, Sagami condoms imported from Japan might be a bit too small for the US market. That’s why, unless you usually use small condoms, I would recommend that you order the Sagami 0.02 larger version.
order Sagami Original (Large) order Sagami Original (regular)
6. Sagami Original 0.02 Premium
For the 10th anniversary of Sagami Original, they introduced an even thinner and stronger Sagami Original 0.02 Premium condom with a thickness of outstanding ~0.022mm (the regular Sagami Original condom is around 0.024mm, as we’ve been told by the distributor).
However, there are a few other Japanese manufacturers which, shortly after Sagami, produced their own 0.02 mm thick condoms.
Here are other 0.02 mm thick condoms:
7. Okamoto 0.02EX Condom
Size: 170mm length
32mm diameter
50mm width
Water base lubricated
Made of Polyurethane

8. JEX 0.02 Condom
Another Japanese manufacturer produced a urethane condom.
You may have noticed that the above-mentioned condoms are produced from polyurethane.
The main disadvantage of these new materials is the price, which is still significantly higher than the price of latex condoms.
There are however just slightly thicker latex condoms, with a thickness of 0.03 mm and with a smaller price.
Few other thin condoms with the thickness of 0.03 mm
These condoms are made from latex, but with the use of the highest manufacturing technology. If you don’t mind the latex and don’t want to pay the high price for polyurethane, try these condoms:
- Okamoto 003 Aloe condoms
- Okamoto 003 Real Fit
- Fuji Zero 0 – 0.03 Condom
- JEX USUI 0.03 Condoms (12 Pcs Pack)
- JEX USUI 0.03 Menthol Condom 12 Pcs Pack (discontinued)
Other thinnest latex condoms
Here are a few other thin latex condoms, which have been available on the market for some time. There are thicker than all the above mentioned, but they have the most affordable prices:
- Durex Invisible – thickness of 0.048 mm
- Crown Skinless Skin – thickness of 0.047 mm
- Okamoto 004 – thickness of 0.04 mm, thinnest FDA-approved latex condom available in the US
The okamoto skinless 3000 is rated at .015mm. This may be the thinnest in the world. Check it out and give your opinion please!!
Hey O’Neal, thanks for the comment! I just googled it and it seems to me that you’re right! Good find! I’ll have to update this post :)
btw, have you tried it already?
Well, I’ll have to correct myself…it seems that the information about the thickness of Okamoto 3000 available on Amazon.com is incorrect.
Condom distributor from Hong Kong (Sampsonstore) informed me that Okamoto Skinless 3000 has been in the market for more than 20 years and its tickness is actually 0.04-0.05mm, and not 0.015 mm. The reason why this condom is a bit more expansive is the special shape, as they say.
Maybe Okamoto changed the spec’s? Also the brand “Skinless” has been around for over 20 years, but the 3000 hasn’t been here very long. But I cannot find where Okamoto officially states that it’s 0.015 mm.
yeah, neither can I, so I’ll trust the distributor on this one…unless I find some other facts…
I found those Okamoto Skinless 3000 on eBay and they said its 0.015 mm thickness. I brought some and tried and I do not feel its 0.04 or 0.05, more like a 0.03 to 0.02 .
like you guys said there is NO official thickness stated ANYWHERE.
But they are too small so my fav now is sagami 0.02 Large.
never tried sagami 0.02 preimum somebody please put some review
I just wish there are 0.01 mm coming soon
anyone has heard anything about 0.01 coming ?
hi,
there’s not a 0.01 mm condom as far as I know, but there’s a 0.015 mm condom – it’s called Pasante Unique.
However, there’s a catch, it doesn’t really look like a regular latex condom. check out this video review below, I think your enthusiasm will fade away:

i just looked at the pasante condom, the condom is poorly designed and is just sad, i mean come on, i’m sure sagami had more cunstomers than that hoax of a condom. but in all, pasante needs to man up and NOT use the little sanwich bag as a condom
LOL
“sandwich bag” is the best comparison I’ve heard so far :)
btw, have you checked the new thin condom from Sagami – Sagami 0.01?
(I obviously have to update this post!)
As someone who has actually used the pasante unique I have to say that that review is complete bollox. The condom needs the body heat to function. It molds itself to you and works pretty damn well. Definitely transfers a lot of heat. My only problem with it is that the big rim or flare at the bottom is kind of offputting and could have been made a lot smaller. Still if you are interested in a thin condom you should give it a try.
The 004 condom by Okamoto (makers of Crown) is the thinnest LATEX condom in the world. It has been available in Japan for some years but has been resized for the U.S market, which is now made in the U.S
.004cm (.04mm) thin!
You should check this out, dunno if it is legit,

Aoni brand from China claim to be the thinnest. Anyone heard of or tried these? They used to sell on Amazon but not anymore.
