A member asked:
Do polyurethane condoms rally work as well as latex condoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Studies of the effectiveness of latex vs polyurethane condoms demonstrated that non-latex condoms are not as effective (higher slippage & breakage rate) as latex condoms. But they are considered an effective substitute for someone with latex allergies.
