This allergic reaction is a physiologically specific phenomenon that can cause redness, swelling, itching, and other symptoms in the skin area that comes into contact with latex.
2. Additive allergy: In the production process of modern condoms, in addition to contraceptive function, various additives, pigments, lubricants, extenders, etc. may also be added to improve the user experience or increase sexual pleasure. However, these chemically synthesized additives may also cause allergic reactions in some women.
3. Quality issues with condoms: If the quality of the condoms used is not up to standard, such as substandard materials, expired or damaged packaging, it may increase the risk of allergies. For example, expired condoms may lose their active ingredients, leading to allergies; However, packaging rupture may cause lubricants or other chemicals to come into direct contact with the skin, causing irritation and allergies.
