A milk protein is used in the manufacturing of latex, which
means most condoms are unsuitable for use by vegans!
Many people are concerned about condom materials because
they have an allergy to latex. Considering that most condoms are made from
latex, this concern makes sense. However, it turns out that those afflicted
with latex allergies are not the only ones that should be questioning just what
condoms are made of.
It turns out that some condoms are made with milk proteins,
making them unsuitable for vegans. Vegans, unlike vegetarians, abstain from
consuming not only meat but all animal products, including milk.
Many condom companies manufacture their condoms using
casein, a milk protein. They may also use milk powder. Thankfully for those
vegans who don’t want to give up their birth control, there are vegan-approved
condoms. Glyde Condoms, Sir Richard’s Condoms, RFSU Condoms, Condomi Condoms
and a number of others have all been confirmed by the Vegan Society to contain
no animal products.
