Vegan condoms

Almost nobody expects a condom to contain a dairy product, which is exactly why this catches people out. Traditional latex manufacturing uses casein, a protein taken from milk, to help cure and soften the rubber. It never appears on the front of a box and there is no requirement to declare it, so a condom can look entirely plant based and quietly not be. Vegan ranges replace casein with a plant derived alternative.

Here is the part most lists skip. Vegan is not a regulated term, so who says it matters as much as what is said. Glyde and Moments both state certification by the Vegan Society, Glyde since 2006. Jonny and Frenchie describe their condoms as vegan on their own packaging without naming a certifier, which is not the same claim, and is not nothing either. We list both and tell you which is which rather than flattening them into one label.

One thing worth clearing up, because it trips people constantly. Vegan does not mean latex free. Most vegan condoms are still natural rubber latex, just made without the milk protein, so if you are here because latex gives you a reaction then this is the wrong page and you want the latex free options instead.
