XtoysGlyde Ultra Blueberry Vegan Condoms 100 Pack Review
Editor's opinion
The Glyde Ultra Blueberry is an ethically produced, standard-fit latex condom sold in a generous bulk pack. It suits anyone who wants a certified vegan, glycerin-free option and gets through condoms regularly. The main caveats are the standard 53mm width, which won't suit everyone, and the fact that latex rules out oil-based lubricant.
Glyde built its reputation on making condoms that meet the standards of vegan and ethically minded buyers without asking them to compromise on the basics. This Ultra Blueberry version is a standard-shaped, lubricated latex condom in a flavoured, tinted finish, and here it comes in a 100-piece pack aimed squarely at people who would rather buy in quantity than keep running to the shop.
The questions worth weighing are straightforward. Does the vegan and glycerin-free credential matter to you, does a standard 53mm fit suit your needs, and does buying 100 at once make sense given they have a shelf life? Answer those and you will know whether this is the right box.
The good and the bad
What works
- Registered with the Vegan Society and free from dairy, glycerin and parabens
- Glycerin-free formulation, which some people prefer to reduce irritation risk
- 100-pack means far less frequent restocking
- Standard 53mm width and teat end suit the majority of users
- Recycled, compostable packaging for the ethically minded
What to be aware of
- Latex, so oil-based lubricants must be avoided and latex allergies rule it out
- Standard 53mm fit will feel too snug or too loose for some
- Buying 100 at once means watching the expiry date across the whole batch
- Flavour and tint are novelty touches most people won't need for everyday use
Buy it if
People who want a certified vegan, glycerin-free condom in a reliable standard fit and get through them often enough to justify a 100-pack. It also suits anyone who values recycled and compostable packaging.
Skip it if
Anyone with a latex allergy should look for polyisoprene or polyurethane instead. Those who need a wider or snugger fit than 53mm should choose a large or close-fit range, and infrequent users may find a smaller pack avoids waste.
Design And Materials
These are made from natural rubber latex with a nominal width of 53mm and a length of 180mm, which is the classic standard shape most brands treat as their default. The 0.062mm thickness is on the everyday side rather than ultra-thin, so the emphasis here is reliability over minimal sensation. Each has a reservoir teat end and comes pre-lubricated.
Being latex, they are strong and stretchy, but that material choice carries two firm rules: no oil-based lubricants, as oils degrade latex, and no use by anyone with a latex allergy. If either applies to you, a synthetic condom is the answer instead.
The Vegan And Glycerin-Free Angle
Glyde has been registered with the Vegan Society since 2006, and this product is free from dairy, glycerin and parabens. Many condoms use casein, a milk protein, in manufacturing, so the vegan certification is a genuine point of difference rather than marketing gloss.
The glycerin-free formulation is also worth noting beyond ethics. Some people find glycerin in lubricant a trigger for irritation, so a glycerin-free option can be a practical choice as much as a values-based one. The packaging is recycled cardboard printed with vegetable inks, and the condoms themselves are described as compostable, which rounds out the low-impact story.
Buying In Bulk
A 100-pack is a lot of condoms, and that is the appeal: buy once, stop thinking about it for a good while. For people in regular relationships or anyone who simply prefers a well-stocked drawer, the convenience is real and the per-unit logic tends to favour larger packs.
The trade-off is shelf life. Condoms carry an expiry date, and a batch of 100 means keeping an eye on it and storing them somewhere cool and dry, away from heat and direct sunlight. If you use condoms only occasionally, a smaller pack is the more sensible buy to avoid throwing unused ones away.
Flavour, Tint And Everyday Use
The wildberry flavour and violet tint are the novelty elements. Flavour is chiefly relevant for oral use, and for that purpose a flavoured condom does its job. For everyday intercourse the flavour and colour make no practical difference, so treat them as a pleasant extra rather than a reason to buy.
As a standard-shaped, lubricated condom, this is a straightforward everyday product at heart. The certifications and packaging are what set it apart from a supermarket box, not the shape or performance.
The bottom line
If a vegan, glycerin-free condom in a dependable standard fit is what you are after, and you use enough to warrant a 100-pack, this is a sensible, ethically produced choice. Just be sure 53mm suits you, keep to water-based lubricant, and mind the expiry date across a batch this size.
Frequently asked questions
Are these condoms suitable for people with a latex allergy?
No. They are made from natural rubber latex, so anyone with a latex allergy should choose a synthetic alternative such as polyisoprene or polyurethane instead.
What lubricant can I use with them?
Stick to water-based or compatible silicone-based lubricants. Oil-based products degrade latex and can cause the condom to fail, so avoid them.
What makes these condoms vegan?
Glyde has been registered with the Vegan Society since 2006. Many condoms use casein, a milk-derived protein, in production, whereas these are 100 percent plant-based and free from dairy, glycerin and parabens.
Is a 100-pack too many to buy at once?
It depends on how often you use them. Condoms have an expiry date, so a bulk pack suits regular users best. If you use them only occasionally, a smaller pack helps you avoid waste and lets you use them before they expire.
Will the 53mm width fit most people?
53mm is a standard nominal width that suits the majority of users. If you find standard condoms too tight or too loose, look for a large or close-fit range rather than this one.
