Polyurethane condoms
Polyurethane is thinner and firmer than latex, carries heat well and is the only common material that tolerates oil based lubricant.
If thinness is what you are chasing, this is the material that goes furthest. Polyurethane is a plastic rather than a rubber, which lets it be made far thinner than latex while still passing the same tests, and the thinnest condoms we track anywhere on the site are polyurethane ones at 0.01mm and 0.02mm.
It behaves differently in the hand. Where latex stretches, polyurethane mostly does not, so it feels firmer and it transmits warmth better, which is the reason people describe it as feeling like less is there. It is also the one material that oil based lubricant will not damage.
The trade off is that with almost no stretch, width matters more than it does with latex. A polyurethane condom sits where it sits, so it is worth knowing your measurement before you buy one rather than after.
The right material still has to fit you. A latex-free condom in the wrong width will still slip or pinch, so it's worth knowing your size too.

Frequently asked
What is the thinnest condom sold in Australia?
The thinnest we track is polyurethane at 0.01mm, roughly a fifth of the wall of a typical latex condom. Both of the thinnest products on the site are on this page.
Are thinner condoms weaker?
No. Every condom sold here passes the same burst and strength testing whatever its thickness. Thin is not a safety trade off, though fit still matters.
Can I use oil based lube with polyurethane?
Yes. Polyurethane is the exception among condom materials, and oils will not degrade it. Water and silicone based lubricants are fine too.
