The Ultimate Guide to the Different Types of Condoms from Okamoto

Choosing the right protection should feel like an upgrade, and not a tiresome chore. Ready to dial up the safety and the sensation? It’s time to explore the range of condoms Okamoto engineers just for thrilling intimacy.

From our silky SHEERLON™ latex condoms to our cutting-edge polyurethane non-latex condoms (like the hyper-sensitive 001 and 002 series), you’ll find the precise fit and thrilling feel that will redefine intimacy.

Why Protection is the Foundation of Confidence 

Before we start exploring the different types of condoms, let's keep the main thing the main thing: protection. Using a condom is the most effective step in practicing safe and responsible intimacy. 

They offer crucial barrier protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and, when applied correctly, maximize condom effectiveness against pregnancy. 

Choosing to wear one is an act of mutual respect that eliminates worry, allowing you and your partner to truly focus on the connection. Simply put: good protection frees you up to enjoy the moment.

What are the Different Types of Okamoto Condoms?

Okamoto is a leader in condom innovation, offering two main categories engineered for safety and feel. Our extensive range of male condoms is classified into two categories: 

The Latex Revolution: SHEERLON™ Material

Unlike conventional latex condoms, our proprietary SHEERLON™ materials are engineered to be thinner, stronger, and significantly smoother. This Japanese precision ensures exceptional durability while offering a silky texture. 

The development of SHEERLON™ also virtually eliminates the typical, distracting rubbery smell, making products like our Crown and 003 Platinum superb for those seeking the highest-quality latex condoms.

Non-Latex Condoms: The Polyurethane (PU) Advantage

For individuals with latex sensitivities or those simply seeking an alternative material, Okamoto offers premium non-latex condoms. These are typically made from polyurethane (PU) and are designed for those with latex allergies. 

What’s more, the PU material, used in our 001 and 002 series, provides several advantages. With superior heat transfer, these condoms can offer a natural, skin-to-skin feeling and durability despite being ultra-thin. These features allow you to switch away from latex without sacrificing safety or pleasure.

Which Condoms are the Best for Sensation?

When you’re looking for the best sensation, consider the engineering of thinness and texture. 

Okamoto has pushed the limits of condom thinness, achieving micro-millimeter precision in series like the 001 and 002. This extreme thinness, coupled with PU’s natural heat transfer, can give you optimal sensation. 

We also ensure this thinness is safe through Japanese precision-engineered technology and electrostatic testing, guaranteeing uncompromising safety. 

As mentioned, the smoothness of materials like SHEERLON™ offers a silky feel. You can also enhance sensation by exploring other types of condoms, such as the Extra Dots, which are designed with strong spiral dots for greater enjoyment.

Fit and Security: Ensuring Comfort and Reliability 

The condom that provides the best protection is the one that fits you correctly. After all, the proper fit can minimize slippage and breakage. 

Generally, condom fit can be measured not by length but by nominal width (the width of the condom when laid flat). 

At Okamoto, we use Japanese precision to segment our male condoms into these reliable fit options

  • Standard Nominal Widths: These are found in core series like the 003 and Crown, designed for typical comfort and reliable everyday protection.

  • Wider Nominal Widths: Available in our Big Boy series, these are engineered for those who need a larger, more relaxed fit.

Choose the Condom That is Right for You 

Finding the perfect protection becomes easier when you understand your needs. To identify the condom type that suits both you and your partner:

  • For Hyper-Sensitivity: Choose our ultra-thin PU options (001 or 002) for the most natural, skin-to-skin feeling.

  • For Ultra-Thin Latex: Choose the 003 Series or Crown (SHEERLON™) for ultimate silkiness.

  • For Custom Fit: Choose Big Boy for a wider fit or a textured option like Harmony Vibra Ribbed.

  • For Lubricated Comfort: Choose options like the 003 Hyaluronic Acid or 003 Aloe for added lubrication, perfect if dryness is a factor in your intimacy.

Regardless of your choice, every Okamoto condom is manufactured with trusted Japanese craftsmanship and uncompromising safety. Experience protection engineered for pleasurable and thrilling intimacy when you choose Okamoto.
