LifeStyles SKYN Original is the first premium condom made from polyisoprene: a scientifically formulated non-latex material that delivers the ultimate sensitivity that is the closest thing to wearing nothing. Polyisoprene material provides a softer, more natural feel than latex that's clinically proven to enhance sensation. These combine the strength of premium latex with the sensitivity of an ultra thin condom for a non-latex condom with the barely there, Skyn-to-Skyn feeling.

Ideal for people with latex allergies or latex sensitivity. Long-lasting, ultra smooth silicone lubricant enhances the experience. Add your favorite silicone or water based lubricant for even more fun.  

As with most other non-latex condoms, LifeStyles Skyn Original Condoms may fit snugger than the same size in a latex condom. Polyisoprene does not stretch as much as latex. These also have a different smell than latex condoms.  

Width: 53 mm. Standard straight wall shaoe. Reservoir tip.

Tell me about the brand? 

LifeStyles is owned by Ansell. They are a company that specializes in medical products specifically the ones that are made from rubber, like the gloves and other items. They have been making the condom for the worldwide market for quite a few years now. The Lifestyles brand, as they are sold in the US, is very popular with health clinics. Lifestyles is one of the brands that you can find at your local drugstore. This is, partially, because they have a wide variety of condoms that they manufacture. So they have a wide variety of size ranges and material. They are one of the companies that also makes a non-latex condom.

What are the basic properties of this condom? 

The SKYN Original was the first non-latex condom that Lifestyles started with. It is a polyisoprene-based material, which means that it is an oil-based instead of a natural rubber-based. It is considered a non-latex. It mimics the properties of latex so it has the stretch – like stretching out a rubber band and then it goes back into shape to fit around whatever you have it around. Their latex is Skynfeel, a proprietary latex blend because it’s been blended to feel soft, as well as ultra-thin. So these condoms are as thin as the ultra-thin condoms that are sold and marketed except that SKYN line and other non-latex condoms, usually, are not given the name ultra-thin even though they are just as thin. Because the material naturally can be made thinner more easily. The Lifestyles SKYN Original is 53mm laid flat, which a standard-average size condom. But it does not stretch as much as a natural latex condom. So keep that in mind when sizing.

Why is this condom different?

The Lifestyles SKYN Original is different because it is made from a non-latex material. This is good for people who have latex allergy so you won’t have to worry about the skin irritation and other side effects that come from contact with latex. These condoms are thinner than usual and softer than a natural latex condom. They also have a less of an odor and less of a taste to them. 

What are similar condoms you would recommend if I like this one? 

The Durex Real Feel or the Trojan Supra Bareskin is similar to the Lifestyles SKYN Original.

Who is this condom great for? 

The Lifestyles SKYN Original is great for somebody who is or has a partner that has latex allergy. This condom is great for somebody who really like a thin, soft feeling condom. This condom is standard shape, meaning it has the same width at the base as it is at the head and it has a reservoir tip. So this condom is for somebody who wants a tighter, more hugged feeling around their penis. Some people likes to feel the tightness, especially around the head. This condom is good for somebody who is an average size or slightly narrower because it does fit smaller. If you find the standard condom snug, you are going to find this condom to be even snugger because it does not stretch as much as.

Who is this condom wrong for?

The Lifestyles SKYN Original is wrong for somebody who is larger than average or those who uses large condoms. Because it does not stretch as much, it will feel uncomfortably tight.
