Our Verdict

The Sagami Original 0.01 is like the secret agent of condoms – remarkably strong, whisper-thin, and all about that stealthy, natural feel. At an astounding 0.018mm thickness, this polyurethane (PU) marvel makes you question if it’s really there, or if you’ve just walked into an episode of Black Mirror.

Built with the precision of a Swiss watch, these condoms boast a bursting pressure strength 3-5 times greater than their rubber counterparts. They’re like the bodybuilders of the condom world, flexing their muscles yet keeping a low profile. My personal rendezvous with the Sagami Original 0.01 was quite the adventure. The absence of any rubbery odour was a welcome relief, and the heat transmission was remarkable – it felt so natural!

However, one might argue that the focus on thinness may have slightly compromised on the lubrication. Also, while the PU material is a blessing for those with a latex allergy, its non-stretchy nature may require a bit of finesse during application.

What we like:

  • Ultra-thin for a highly intimate experience.
  • Polyurethane material eliminates rubber odour and increases heat transmission.
  • Remarkably strong, 3-5 times more than rubber condoms.

Not so much

  • Polyurethane material is non-stretchy, which might pose an application challenge.
  • Could use more lubrication.
  • The ultra-thin feature might not suit everyone’s comfort level.
