Eros Shop Update 8th May 2004
Are latex condoms ruining your sex life? |
Every day numerous couples are unwittingly putting their health at serious risk by practising safe
sex with condoms made from natural rubber latex.
Natural rubber latex is a milky fluid obtained from the Hevea Brasiliensis Tree and is an integral
part of all latex condoms. Unfortunately, like other things in nature (shellfish, bee stings, peanuts
& venom), natural rubber latex can cause allergic reactions in some people.
There are two types of allergic reactions. One to the latex protein, a natural component of rubber
(Type I reaction), and the other to the chemicals used in processing natural rubber products (Type
IV reaction). The effects of a natural rubber latex allergy can range from a mild rash to
anaphylactic shock.
It's thought between 1-6% of the general population is potentially allergic to natural rubber latex
and that not everyone develops allergic symptoms straight away. It can take months or even years of
exposure before any symptoms develop and in many cases they become progressively more severe on
repeated exposure. It is therefore extremely important for individuals who have a natural rubber latex
allergy to avoid further contact.
The good news is, Eros Shop offers a discounted range of Allergy Free and Non-Latex products
specifically for individuals who are allergic to natural rubber latex.

Femidoms (Female Condoms)
Made from polyurethane, Femidom is a disposable, odourless sheath specially designed to protect
women by lining the inside of the vagina. Femidom is pre-lubricated and it warms immediately to your
body temperature. It is soft and comfortable to use, and gives you the sensitivity you require during
love making.
There is an inner ring, inside the sheath, which helps you insert Femidom as quickly and easily as a
tampon. A Femidom is stronger than latex, odourless, causes no allergic reactions, and, unlike latex,
may be used with both oil-based and water-based lubricants. It can be inserted prior to intercourse,
is not dependent on the male erection, and does not require immediate withdrawal after ejaculation.
With correct and consistent use, Femidom is as effective as other barrier methods and has practically
no side effects or risks.

becoming a popular safe sex tool that is enjoyed by both men and women alike.
