Vegan Condoms — Complete Guide

Why Most Condoms Aren't Vegan

Traditional condom manufacturing uses casein — a milk protein — as a smoothing agent in the latex compound. While casein is not present in the finished product in significant quantities, it is used in the manufacturing process, making most standard condoms not strictly vegan.

Additionally, some condoms use:

• Egg whites (albumin) in the manufacturing process
• Glycerin derived from animal fats as lubricant

What Makes a Condom Vegan?

A vegan condom:

1. No casein in manufacturing — uses plant-based or synthetic alternatives
2. No animal-derived lubricants — uses plant-based glycerin or silicone
3. No gelatin — some condom wrappers use gelatin; vegan condoms use synthetic alternatives
4. Cruelty-free testing — no animal testing in quality control
