Details and highlights
My review
The second reason is that it contains no spermicide. Many people develop an intolerance to spermicides—irritation, itching—and this model lets them choose their own lubricant. That’s flexibility you don’t get with standard pre-lubricated condoms.
The third reason is that the value for money is unbeatable for this level of thinness. It’s an entry-level product in the ultra-sensitive category, accessible without compromising on safety standards (CE marking, medical-grade latex).
Description
When it comes to ultra-thin condoms, I rank Silk Thin among the best in its category. Why? Because thickness really does make a difference. At 40–45 microns (half the thickness of a standard Pasante condom), you get a level of tactile sensitivity that we once thought impossible with latex. It’s the kind of detail my customers mention: you can feel the difference from the very first moments.
Ultra-thin latex: technology and sensation
Silk Thin measures 190 mm in length and 53 mm in width — standard dimensions suitable for most anatomies. What makes it unique is its thickness: 0.04 mm (40 microns minimum). To put this into context, that’s comparable to the thickness of a human hair. The latex used is medical-grade, smooth, and plain, with no ribs or additional textures. The color remains natural — no flashy tint, just slightly amber-toned transparent latex.
The condom is not lubricated with spermicide, which means you’ll need to add your own lubricant if necessary. This is an advantage for those who prefer to choose their own lubricant (some spermicides can cause irritation). See our selection of water-based lubricants compatible with latex.
Contents and certification
The box contains 12 individually wrapped condoms. Each unit bears the CE marking, guaranteeing compliance with European safety standards. The product contains no ingredients of animal origin and is formulated without alcohol — two important points for those with particular sensitivities.

Application and recommendations
Before first use, I recommend checking the expiration date (visible on the packaging). Latex deteriorates over time and when exposed to heat. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct light. When putting one on, open the wrapper carefully — avoid fingernails or sharp objects that could cause an imperceptible but problematic micro-tear. Expel the air from the reservoir tip (the small bulge at the top) before penetration — it’s a basic but crucial step to prevent breakage. If you are circumcised, you can retract the foreskin before or after putting it on, depending on your comfort.
Regarding lubricants: use exclusively a water-based lubricant. Silicone- or oil-based lubricants damage latex and reduce contraceptive and protective effectiveness. Check out our range of compatible lubricants for greater comfort.
Who it’s for and who it isn’t
Ideal for: Couples or individuals seeking maximum sensation while protected. Those who find standard condoms too thick or feel they reduce sensitivity too much. People allergic to spermicides (since this model contains none). Anyone looking for a good balance of quality and protection.
Consider another option if: You have a latex allergy — in that case, see our selection of latex-free condoms. You prefer a condom that is already lubricated (this model requires lubricant to be added manually). You are looking for a delay or textured effect — Silk Thin remains smooth and classic.
A friend’s advice — I’ve seen plenty of boxes pass through the shop, and honestly, it’s a discreet bestseller. People buy it once, then come back. That says it all.
