Description
Vegan Society certification isn’t common in this category, yet Glyde has carried it since 2006. The reason comes down to one ingredient: casein, a milk protein most manufacturers use as a latex processing aid. Glyde replaces it with a thistle extract instead, achieving the same result with nothing animal-derived in the mix. Manufacturing is where the word “vegan” applies here — the finished sheath itself doesn’t change, since it remains natural rubber latex. The upshot: the Vanilla suits anyone avoiding dairy or casein, but a true latex allergy still rules it out.
The Ultra Vanilla version pairs that vegan latex with a genuine vanilla scent and flavour, built for oral sex without asking anyone to give up their vegan standards. The latex is sourced from rubber trees grown on agroforestry plantations and shaped using Glyde’s double-dipping process, which builds strength into the sheath without adding bulk. The result sits thinner than average at 0.062mm and still holds up to normal use across oral, vaginal, and anal sex.
Things to know
- Vegan Society certified since 2006 — the latex uses a thistle extract in place of casein (the milk protein found in most standard condoms), so the product is 100% dairy-free
- The sheath remains natural rubber latex — not a latex-free material — so anyone with a latex allergy needs a different condom
- Material: natural rubber latex, processed using Glyde’s double-dipping technique for a thin, strong sheath
- Nominal width: 53mm | Length: 180mm | Thickness: 0.062mm
- Yellow colour, with a vanilla scent and flavour
- Standard shape with a teat end (reservoir tip)
- Lubricated with silicone oil; free from parabens and glycerin
- Well suited to oral sex, and safe for vaginal and anal use too
- Because the sheath is latex, stick to water- or silicone-based lubricant; oil-based products break latex down
- Correct, consistent use with one condom per act significantly lowers pregnancy and STI transmission risk, though never to zero — stacking two condoms together is not a safer option, as the added friction between them makes breakage more likely
- Packaging: the box is compostable, made from fully recycled cardboard and printed using vegetable-based ink
- Keep the condoms somewhere cool and dry, away from sunlight and heat rather than a wallet, and check the expiry date printed on each wrapper before use
In the box: 10x Glyde Ultra Vanilla Flavour vegan condoms, individually wrapped.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes these condoms vegan?
The Glyde Ultra Vanilla Flavour Vegan Condoms are certified by the Vegan Society, a status Glyde has held since 2006. Standard latex condoms use casein, a milk protein, as a manufacturing aid; Glyde replaces it with a thistle extract, so the finished latex is 100% dairy-free.
Will a latex allergy rule this condom out?
The Glyde Ultra Vanilla Flavour Vegan Condoms aren’t suitable for anyone with a latex allergy. Vegan certification only changes manufacturing — swapping out the dairy-derived processing aid — while the sheath itself remains natural rubber latex. A true latex allergy calls for a non-latex condom instead.
Can these be used for more than oral sex?
The Glyde Ultra Vanilla Flavour Vegan Condoms are shaped and lubricated for standard use, so they work for vaginal and anal sex as well as oral. Because the sheath is latex, stick to a water- or silicone-based lubricant — an oil-based one will degrade it.
