Condoms are normally made of latex or polyurethane, with latex condoms being slightly more reliable. Latex condoms can only be used with water-based lubricants as oil based lubricants can break the latex down, causing it to break. Some people have latex allergies and instead have to use polyurethane condoms, which are made of a particular type of plastic. Oil and water lubricants can be used with polyurethane condoms. Reliability and sensitivity are the two most important factors that reviewers use in selecting a condom, according to Condom Depot.
