Glyde Latex Condoms
The flagship Glyde condom range represents the world's first certified ethical, vegan, and fair-trade condoms, established in 1990. Made with sustainably harvested natural rubber latex and thistle extract (eliminating casein dairy derivatives), Glyde delivers ultra-thin protection without compromising strength. Patented "double dipping" technology provides extra sheer strength while "double washing" eliminates unpleasant latex odour and taste. Triple tested including electronic testing, exceeding global durability standards. Available in Slimfit (49mm), Standard (53mm), and Maxi (56mm) sizes. Organic flavours include Wildberry, Vanilla, Strawberry, and Black Licorice—all natural extracts without synthetic chemicals or processed sugars.
Latex-Free Condoms
The Glyde Unique non-latex condom provides protection for those with latex sensitivities. Packaged in a discreet credit card-style 3-pack fitting perfectly inside a wallet, these condoms offer the same ethical standards as the latex range. The unique wallet packaging ensures protection is always accessible without bulk or visibility. Compatible with both water and oil-based lubricants due to the non-latex construction. Ideal for spontaneous encounters while maintaining Glyde's commitment to vegan, cruelty-free production methods.
FC2 Female Condoms
The FC2 internal condom puts women in control of protection. This drug-free, latex-free birth control option uses strong, thin nitrile polymer that warms to body temperature, enhancing pleasure while providing barrier protection. The flexible inner ring enables easy insertion up to two hours before intercourse, allowing spontaneity. FDA-approved as 95% effective, FC2 protects against both pregnancy and STIs including HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis. Compatible with water, silicone, and oil-based lubricants. Ideal for latex-sensitive individuals, those wanting female-controlled protection, and partners who find traditional condoms restrictive.
Sheer Glyde Oral 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 (10" x 6"), dams create effective coverage during cunnilingus and analingus. Lightly flavoured and scented—Vanilla, Strawberry, Wildberry, and Black Licorice—with no sugars or sweeteners that would alter pH levels. The double-washing process eliminates unpleasant latex taste found in improvised alternatives like modified condoms or plastic wrap. Vegan Society certified.
Soft Tampons
JoyDivision Soft Tampons enable intimate activity during menstruation. These stringless menstrual sponges made of ultra-soft PU foam absorb menstrual flow discreetly, allowing mess-free period sex. The heart-shaped design adapts to female anatomy with integrated grip tabs for easy removal. Dermatologically and clinically tested, Oeko-Tex certified, glyphosate-free, and made in Germany. Suitable for swimming, sports, sauna, and intimacy. Available in Mini, Normal, and Professional sizes. Maximum wear time 8 hours. Single-use hygienic design with individual sterile packaging.
Personal Lubricant
Glyde Premier Personal Lubricant delivers pH-balanced moisture as nature intended. Clear, non-staining, and paraben-free, this formula contains fewer thickeners than other lubricants, eliminating sticky residue. Compatible with all Glyde latex and non-latex condoms. Water-soluble for easy cleanup. The pH-balanced formula respects vaginal health while enhancing comfort and pleasure. Available in convenient sizes for personal use and bulk quantities for healthcare providers.
