GLYDE is a premium condom brand established in 1990, pioneering the world's first certified ethical, vegan, and fair-trade condoms. FDA and CE approved, GLYDE delivers ultra-thin protection made with sustainably harvested natural rubber latex and plant-based thistle extract.
Pleasure with Purpose
GLYDE was created over 25 years ago when founders recognised demand for condoms without animal byproducts or harmful chemicals. The mission to craft more natural condoms started with eliminating casein—a dairy-derived powder used in almost all conventional condoms—opting instead for a purely plant-based formula of natural rubber latex and thistle extract. This innovation made GLYDE the first and only condom brand ever certified vegan by The Vegan Society, the organisation that coined the term "vegan." Today GLYDE continues elevating condom production with clean plant-based formulas, sustainable ingredients, and ethical processes.

GLYDE ULTRA Standard Fit
The bestselling GLYDE ULTRA delivers ultra-thin 53mm standard-fit protection designed to comfortably fit most men. Made with premium natural rubber latex and thistle extract, these condoms provide exceptional heat transfer for natural sensation. Lightly lubricated with body-friendly medical-grade silicone. Free of casein, parabens, glycerin, talc, nonoxynol-9 spermicide, and benzocaine. Triple tested including electronic testing, exceeding global durability standards. Available in 12-count and 100-count value packs.
GLYDE SLIMFIT Snug Fit
Wearing the correct condom size is key to reliable performance and pleasure for both partners. GLYDE SLIMFIT provides a snugger, tighter fit at 49mm for those requiring smaller sizing. The same ultra-thin construction and clean plant-based formula as ULTRA, tailored for enhanced comfort and security. Proper fit prevents slippage while maximising sensation. Body-safe materials with the same certifications and testing standards across the entire GLYDE range.
GLYDE MAXI Large Fit
GLYDE MAXI offers extra large 56mm condoms with generous room in both width and length without compromising sensitivity. Ultra-thin construction maintains the barely-there quality GLYDE is known for while accommodating larger sizing needs. The same ethical, vegan, fair-trade certified formula. Proper fit ensures comfort, pleasure, and reliable protection. Available in 12-count and bulk options for those who know their size requirements.
Organic Flavoured Condoms
GLYDE developed an entire range of natural and organic flavours using real fruit extracts without synthetic chemicals or processed sugars. The patented double-washing process eliminates the typical "rubber glove" taste found in conventional brands. Flavours include Wildberry, Vanilla, Strawberry, and Black Licorice (Cola). All organic flavoured condoms maintain the same ultra-thin 53mm standard fit, vegan certification, and quality standards. Perfect for oral pleasure or adding variety to intimate experiences.
Sheer GLYDE Dams
Sheer GLYDE dams are the only latex dams FDA-cleared specifically for STI protection during oral-vaginal and oral-anal sex. These silky thin sheets of natural latex provide barrier protection without compromising sensation. Measuring 25cm x 15cm, dams create effective coverage during cunnilingus and analingus. Lightly flavoured and scented—Vanilla, Strawberry, Wildberry, and Black Licorice—with no sugars or sweeteners that alter pH levels. Vegan Society certified with the same double-washing process for pleasant taste.

The GLYDE Difference
GLYDE's patented "double dipping" technology provides extra sheer strength without added thickness, delivering ultra-thin sensation with reliable protection. The "double washing" process removes latex residue, eliminating unpleasant odour and taste. Natural rubber is sustainably harvested from worker-owned farms using fair-trade labour practices with fair wages and no child labour. Manufacturing occurs in ISO-certified facilities meeting FDA and CE approval standards. Body-friendly by design: nitrosamine-free, glycerin-free, paraben-free, with non-irritating medical-grade silicone lubricant.
Certifications
GLYDE holds more ethical certifications than any other condom brand. The Vegan Society certification confirms no animal products or testing—GLYDE was the first condom brand ever certified. PETA's Caring Consumer Program recognises cruelty-free practices. Ethiquette and Green Business Network certify environmental responsibility. B Corp certification validates overall social and environmental performance. FDA and CE approval confirm safety as medical devices. Fair-trade certification ensures ethical rubber sourcing. Consumer packaging uses recycled materials with soy and vegetable inks.
