Should you be using 'organic' condoms? Here's what the experts say:
Nitrosamines are released when latex comes into contact with bodily fluids, says Hollender. That's why brands like Sustain take extra steps to add a chemical accelerator to remove the formation of nitrosamines in production.
Most of the research on nitrosamines is related to the ingestion of nitrosamine and its impact on stomach and colon cancer. "There is not much research on how the nitrosamines in condoms could influence cancer risk, but what researchavailable indicates that the risk is quite low," says O'Connor.
Despite the lack of research on the harm of using certain chemicals, switching from traditional condoms also protects your vagina from fragrances, dyes, and flavors. "None of these belong in the vagina and should be avoided because they can cause irritations, allergic reactions, alter pH, and feed yeast, and bacteria," says O'Connor.
