About Lifestyles — A Brand You Know
Lifestyles Healthcare, owned by Ansell, has been manufacturing condoms for over 100 years. Based out of Dothan, Alabama in the US, Lifestyles is one of the three major condom brands in North America alongside Trojan and Durex — and in many ways the most innovative of the three. Lifestyles pioneered the modern non-latex condom category with the launch of SKYN, the first widely-available polyisoprene condom. Today SKYN is the best-selling non-latex condom line in the world.
Lifestyles also invests heavily in testing and safety — every Lifestyles condom is electronically tested and meets FDA, ISO 4074, and ASTM D3492 standards. If you've bought condoms from a drugstore, hospital, or health clinic in the US, there's a good chance they were Lifestyles.
Lifestyles Condom Styles Explained
Lifestyles Ultra Sensitive — The flagship Lifestyles latex condom. Thin, smooth, reliably lubricated, and the go-to option for anyone who wants a classic, trusted latex condom. Often available in large bulk jars at a great per-condom price.
Lifestyles Ultra Thin — A thinner version of Ultra Sensitive for more sensation. Solid "entry-level" thin condom at a bulk-friendly price. See our full ultra thin condoms collection for a comparison against Japanese ultra thins.
Lifestyles Snugger Fit — Narrower width (about 49mm) for a tighter, more secure fit. Ideal if standard-size condoms feel too loose or slip during use.
Lifestyles King Size / Large — Wider width and longer length for anyone who finds standard condoms too tight. For more options in this range, see our large condoms collection.
Lifestyles Studded / Pleasure Shaped — Textured condoms with raised studs or contoured shapes for extra stimulation for a partner.
Lifestyles Flavored — Colored and flavored condoms for oral-to-penile play. Latex base, fun assortment of flavors. Not recommended for vaginal or anal use due to added sugars.
SKYN (Non-Latex) — Lifestyles' polyisoprene non-latex line. The industry-leading non-latex condom, softer and warmer than latex with no latex proteins. Available in Original, Elite (thinner), Large, Excitation (textured), and Extra Lubricated varieties. Shop the full SKYN line →
Lifestyles vs. Trojan — Which Is Better?
Both are premium condom brands with long track records. The practical differences:
- Variety — Trojan has a wider lineup with more "gimmick" condoms (warming, vibrating, etc.). Lifestyles keeps it focused on core styles that work.
- Non-latex — Lifestyles wins. SKYN is unquestionably the best non-latex condom line on the market. Trojan Supra (polyurethane) exists but most users prefer polyisoprene for comfort.
- Bulk pricing — Lifestyles typically wins on per-condom price in bulk, especially Ultra Sensitive and SKYN Original.
- Availability — Roughly equal at retail. Both stocked nationally.
- Feel — Preference-based. Lifestyles tends to be slightly smoother; Trojan tends to be slightly thicker on average.
If non-latex matters to you, go Lifestyles/SKYN. If you want maximum style variety, go Trojan. Our condom sampler packs let you compare both side by side.

Lifestyles Condoms — Frequently Asked Questions
Who makes Lifestyles condoms?
Lifestyles condoms are made by Lifestyles Healthcare, a subsidiary of Ansell Limited — one of the world's largest medical and protective products manufacturers. Lifestyles also makes the SKYN line of non-latex condoms.
Are Lifestyles condoms the same as SKYN?
SKYN is made by Lifestyles, but it's a separate line. Standard Lifestyles condoms (like Ultra Sensitive and Ultra Thin) are made from latex. SKYN condoms are made from polyisoprene, a non-latex material. Both are manufactured by the same company to the same safety standards.
Are Lifestyles condoms safe and FDA-approved?
Yes. Every Lifestyles condom is FDA-approved and electronically tested to meet or exceed ISO 4074 and ASTM D3492 safety standards. Lifestyles has been making condoms for over 100 years.
Where are Lifestyles condoms made?
Lifestyles condoms are manufactured at Ansell facilities in Alabama (USA) and in Thailand. SKYN polyisoprene condoms are made primarily in Thailand using Ansell's proprietary non-latex formulation.
What's the difference between Lifestyles Ultra Sensitive and Ultra Thin?
Ultra Sensitive is Lifestyles' classic thin latex condom — reliably thin without being their thinnest. Ultra Thin is slightly thinner than Ultra Sensitive for more sensation. For the thinnest Lifestyles product, choose SKYN Elite (polyisoprene, non-latex).
