What it is
Trojan Supra Bareskin is a non-latex condom made from medical-grade polyurethane. Polyurethane is thinner than latex and transfers heat better, which some users prefer. It contains no natural rubber latex, so it works for people with latex allergies. Unlike latex condoms, polyurethane condoms are compatible with both water-based and oil-based lubricants. The FDA cleared it as a 510(k) Class II medical device.
How well it works
Trojan Supra uses the same class-level contraceptive efficacy as other external condoms: 87% with typical use and 98% with perfect use in the first year (Guttmacher Institute). A randomized trial comparing polyurethane to latex condoms found similar 6-month pregnancy rates (4.8% vs 6.3%, not statistically significant), but the clinical breakage and slippage rate was 8.5% for polyurethane compared to 1.6% for latex (PMID 10224546). The higher mechanical failure rate means polyurethane condoms may offer less reliable STI protection than latex. Polyisoprene condoms (such as SKYN or Durex RealFeel) are another non-latex option with breakage rates closer to latex.
Where to get it
You can buy Trojan Supra Bareskin condoms over the counter at pharmacies, retail stores, and online without a prescription. They come in packs of 3 to 6. Many health clinics give away free latex condoms, but non-latex options like Supra are usually purchased.
