Description
Glyde has been making vegan condoms since 2006, when it became the first condom brand in the world to earn Vegan Society registration — a certification it has held continuously ever since. Ultra Strawberry sits among the brand’s original flavours: a red, strawberry-flavoured condom built on Glyde’s standard Ultra fit, lubricated with silicone oil rather than the glycerin-based lubricant found on most condoms.
What makes it vegan isn’t the latex itself. A milk-derived protein called casein is the manufacturing aid most latex brands rely on; Glyde swaps it out for a plant-derived thistle extract, leaving the latex, red colourant and lubricant free of dairy, glycerin and parabens. That distinction matters for the allergy question too: the vegan certification describes how the latex was processed, not a change to the base material. Ultra Strawberry remains natural rubber latex throughout, so anyone allergic or sensitive to latex should choose a different condom.
How well a condom protects depends on how it’s used: used correctly every time, it meaningfully lowers the chance of both pregnancy and STI transmission. No barrier method — Ultra Strawberry included — offers complete protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Glyde Ultra Strawberry if I’m allergic to latex?
Glyde Ultra Strawberry is a natural rubber latex condom; the vegan certification only describes a change in the manufacturing process — a plant-derived thistle extract replaces the milk-derived casein most latex brands use — not a change to the latex itself. Latex-allergic or latex-sensitive users need a different condom type.
What actually makes Glyde Ultra Strawberry vegan?
Glyde Ultra Strawberry is vegan because the latex, red colourant and silicone lubricant are all produced without casein, the milk protein most latex condom brands rely on as a processing aid. Glyde uses a plant-derived thistle extract instead and has held Vegan Society registration since 2006.
How effective are Glyde Ultra Strawberry condoms at preventing pregnancy and STIs?
Glyde Ultra Strawberry offers the same protection profile as any correctly used condom: when used correctly every time, it substantially cuts the odds of pregnancy and of passing on an STI, though no condom — this one included — can promise total protection.
