The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

What non allergenic vegan sexual protection exists? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hi, so we might have need of vegan condoms and/or dams that aren't made from latex. Problem is we can find no vegan brands or versions that either use polyurethene or polyisoprene instead of latex anywhere online, or at least none that are explicitly listed as such.

Do y'all know of any? Thank you.

Edit: Seems like the best options so far are Pasante Unique or any of the Skyn brand condoms. Thanks to all who helped!

This doesn't say anything about being vegan specifically though? Can you confirm it is?

Nitrile is a synthetic made from hydrocarbons. The lubricant is also synthetic and mentioned in the FAQ. If that's not certain enough for you, I'm not a provider of vegan certification and you'll have to make that call for yourself. Or contact the company that makes them.

Okay, usually the problem with condoms is they contain a milk protein called casein which makes them not vegan (and smell awful ioe).

Will do, thanks!
