Why Ansell Stands Out in Condoms

• 120 Years Condom Manufacturing Experience: Founded 1905 in Australia with continuous latex and rubber expertise spanning from early 20th-century condoms to modern polyisoprene non-latex innovations, establishing industry credibility through over a century manufacturing barrier contraceptives
• First Polyisoprene Condom Innovation: Skyn launched 2008 as first clinically-approved polyisoprene condom in US market, revolutionizing latex-free options for men with allergies while maintaining pregnancy prevention and STI protection effectiveness matching latex performance standards
• Triple Testing Quality Standards: All Ansell condoms undergo three separate electronic testing procedures detecting holes, tears, and manufacturing defects before packaging, exceeding FDA requirements ensuring reliable barrier protection during penis penetration and preventing condom breakage during sex
• Vegan-Certified Non-Latex Material: Skyn condoms manufactured in dedicated latex-free facilities using synthetic polyisoprene without animal-derived casein proteins found in many latex condoms, appealing to vegan users and men avoiding animal products during sex
• Clinical Sensation Studies: Research demonstrates 97% user satisfaction and 66% preference over competing condoms in blind trials, with clinical studies proving Skyn provides greater stimulation than polyurethane and standard latex during penis-vagina intercourse through superior heat transmission and flexibility

Manufacturing and Safety Standards

• ISO Certified Production Facilities: Ansell operates manufacturing plants in Thailand and India meeting international quality standards for medical device production, ensuring consistent condom reliability preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections during vaginal, anal, oral sex
• Electronic Defect Testing: Every single condom tested electronically for pinholes and tears before packaging, with defective units removed from production, maintaining AQL (Acceptable Quality Limit) standards exceeding FDA requirements for barrier contraceptive reliability
• Polyisoprene Material Specifications: Skyn condoms use synthetic polyisoprene matching natural rubber latex strength (tensile strength) while providing 20% better heat conductivity, allowing penis sensation and body warmth transmission during intercourse without latex allergy reactions
• Lubrication Safety Standards: All Ansell condoms use silicone-based or water-based lubricants tested for vaginal pH compatibility and non-spermicidal formulations, preventing irritation during penis penetration while maintaining condom integrity without degrading latex or polyisoprene material during extended sex
• Thickness Precision Manufacturing: Ultra-thin variants like Skyn Elite and Lifestyles BareBack manufactured at 48-60 microns compared to standard 70-80 microns, balancing penis sensation enhancement with structural integrity preventing breakage during vigorous thrusting and prolonged intercourse

Condom Selection and Proper Use

Choosing Between Latex and Non-Latex

Lifestyles latex condoms suit most men without allergies, offering proven pregnancy and STI prevention at affordable pricing for regular vaginal and anal intercourse. Skyn polyisoprene condoms necessary for men or partners with latex sensitivity causing burning, itching, or swelling after sex. Non-latex options cost 30-50% more but prevent allergic reactions while maintaining equivalent barrier protection preventing pregnancy, HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea transmission during penis penetration.

Proper Condom Application on Penis

Roll condom onto erect penis before any genital contact—pre-cum contains sperm causing pregnancy risk. Pinch reservoir tip removing air bubbles, then unroll down full penis shaft to base. Add water-based or silicone lubricant to condom exterior before vaginal or anal penetration—insufficient lubrication causes condom breakage during thrusting. After ejaculation, hold condom base while withdrawing penis preventing semen spillage. Understanding why condoms break addresses common application errors causing pregnancy and STI risk.

Who Should Choose Ansell Condoms

Men With Latex Allergies: Skyn polyisoprene condoms provide reliable pregnancy and STI protection for men experiencing burning, redness, or itching after latex condom sex. The latex-free material prevents allergic reactions in penis or partner's vagina/anus while maintaining barrier effectiveness identical to latex during intercourse, enabling safe sex without medical complications from latex protein sensitivity.

Sensation-Focused Users: Skyn's superior heat transmission and Lifestyles BareBack ultra-thin 48-micron latex deliver enhanced penis sensitivity during intercourse compared to standard thick condoms. Men prioritizing natural feeling sex while maintaining pregnancy prevention benefit from thinner materials transmitting body warmth and friction sensation, creating "barely there" experience during vaginal penetration or anal sex.

Budget-Conscious Regular Users: Lifestyles latex condoms provide cost-effective pregnancy and disease prevention for men having frequent sex. Bulk purchasing reduces per-condom cost while maintaining triple-tested quality standards, making barrier protection affordable for daily intercourse, multiple-partner situations, or relationships requiring consistent contraception complementing other birth control methods.
