Post Allergy to latex... HELP

My face is allergic to latex. I am wondering if I use a condom, nothing really happens. A little redness but that is it. Does that mean It is ok for me to use the latex condom? I would rather because it is so much more protective then lambskin. HELP

My wife is allergic to latex. From the gloves that dentist wear to/ and including
condoms. Being allergic to a condom makes for bad sex, especial if there is pain.
I think they make condoms that aren't latex,
if not, then try putting the latex condom over the lambskin.

Hi,
I'm an RN and TOTALLY allergic to latex and the powder in the gloves.
"Reality" makes a non latex condom for women. They're a bit awkward at first, but they're thicker.
There are non latex for men too. Both made from polyeurothane. The man's are thinner.
Both are a lil more expensive, but worth it if you're allergic.
Good luck.... sickntired

Hello Sickntired~
I think I am allergic to latex. Do you have reactions to print on magazines, catalogues and shopping bags and bread wrappers? I try to avoid these things but can't seem to clear up the rash. Is there any way to get this thing under control? Thanks!
