Condoms made from natural materials (such as those labelled "lambskin", made from lamb intestines) are not as effective at preventing disease. A few companies are also making condoms from polyethylene? and polyurethane?, which are expected to be as effective as latex but which have not had as much testing. The alternate materials are useful for those who have allergies to latex. |
