Best non-latex condoms?

[WonderWhat]

Mrs. W is allergic to latex, and we just ran out of the stash we brought since we moved to the US; it's a brand we can't get over here. So, we're looking for a substitute.

Which non-latex condom do you prefer?

Do you know of any that approach the stretchiness of latex? (We've read about the SKYN brand, which is polyisoprene instead of polyurethane, but haven't tried it yet)

Do any of you regularly use non-latex feminine condoms? (The wide ones that go inside the vagina, with two plastic rings, one of which stays near the cervix and the other outside the labia.)

Any general observations or recommendations?

Thanks

We have several friends who are allergic to latex, to include Kat herself.

When getting condoms, we tend to try to stick with Trojan Supra, although before that we used a Durex Sensation (was the only kind we ever found).

As far as an internal condom for the ladies, we haven't managed to find one yet.

Here are some links to information about the female condom, which until very recently, were all using non latex materials.

Lifestyles "Skyn" non-latex condoms are better in our opinion. Trojan Supra a close second. Durex Avanti too much like a plastic bag.

Durex has a new one that they call Avanti "Bare":

I'm ordering a pack to try them out.

Mrs. Oly is also latex sensitive and so far the only kind available locally for us has been the Trojan Supras. I have always felt that these were the "plastic bag condoms". They get the job done but they sure are not comparable to an ultra-thin latex condom. It scares me to hear there might be worse.

I actually like the feeling of these non latex condoms. I really think they feel better than latex condoms. The downside to that, I sometimes have "control" issues when I use them.

The Avanti Bare condoms- tried them and found them very similar to the Skyn version.
Any one else?

FYI on the Lifestyles Skyn, some people report having issues with this condom because it's made from synthetic latex, aka polyisoprene . I (the fem) am allergic to latex, I have some of these condoms but haven't tried them yet. IDK if I will have an issue because of the fact that other things that people who are allergic to latex also react to, I don't. I don't have an issue with banana's or gum. Go figure.

Another thing I forgot to mention, thank you for still using condoms despite her allergy. We've ran across a few couples that go bare back because of this allergy! Scary stuff, IMO.

Thanks for the info. I was going to try those, but now I think I'll skip them and stick with the Avanti Bare.

WE have used the AVANTI Bare and the Skynn condoms. I (the wife) have a latex allergy.

I hate them both (but we won't play without them) but out of the two I liked the AVanti better. The SKYNN for some reason made things "dry".
