Glyde Ultra Supermax Vegan Condoms 100 Pack Review

The good and the bad

What works

• Genuinely larger fit at 60mm nominal width for those who find standard sizes tight
• Vegan Society registered latex, glycerin-free and paraben-free
• Bulk 100 pack means never running low and fewer repeat purchases
• Lubricated and ready to use with a familiar teat-end shape
• Recycled packaging and a compostable latex body

What to be aware of

• The 60mm width is too roomy for average anatomy and can slip if oversized
• Latex rules out oil-based lubricants and is unsuitable for latex allergies
• Buying 100 is a poor idea before you have confirmed the fit
• No flavour and natural colour, so nothing special for those wanting variety

Buy it if

People who consistently find standard condoms too snug and want a plant-based, glycerin-free option, and who go through condoms often enough to justify buying in bulk.

Skip it if

Anyone with average or smaller anatomy, since an oversized condom can slip and compromise protection. Those with a latex allergy should look for polyisoprene or polyurethane alternatives instead.

Design And Materials

At 200mm long and 60mm nominal width, the Supermax sits firmly in extra-large territory. Standard condoms are usually around 52 to 54mm nominal width, so 60mm is a meaningful step up rather than marketing dressing. That extra room is the whole point, and it matters both ways: for a larger girth it relieves the pinching that makes standard condoms uncomfortable, but on average anatomy a condom this wide can feel loose and risk slipping, which undermines protection.

The body is natural rubber latex at 0.062mm, a fairly typical thickness rather than an ultra-thin. The shape is classic with a teat end, so there is nothing unusual to get used to. The colour is natural and there is no added flavour, so this is a plain, functional condom rather than a novelty one.

The Vegan And Plant-Based Angle

This is where Glyde stands apart. Many condoms use casein, a milk protein, in manufacturing, which is why they are not vegan. Glyde has been Vegan Society registered since 2006 and its condoms are dairy-free, glycerin-free and paraben-free.

The glycerin-free point is worth flagging beyond ethics: some people find glycerin in lubricants can contribute to irritation, so a glycerin-free formula may appeal on those grounds too. The recycled cardboard packaging and compostable latex will matter to buyers weighing environmental impact, though these are secondary to whether the condom fits and performs.

Use And Care

Each condom arrives lubricated and ready from the wrapper, so no separate lubricant is strictly required, though many people add water-based lube for comfort. The critical rule with any latex condom is that oil-based products, including many massage oils and some lotions, degrade latex and can cause it to fail. Stick to water-based or silicone-based lubricants.

With a bulk pack of 100, storage and shelf life become relevant. Keep them somewhere cool and dry, away from heat and direct sunlight, and check the expiry date, because a hundred condoms is a supply you will be working through over a long period rather than a fortnight.

How It Compares

Against a standard-size condom, the obvious difference is fit, and that is the deciding factor. If standard condoms genuinely feel tight, the Supermax is a sensible upgrade. If they fit fine, going larger is a step backwards, not forwards.

Against other large condoms, Glyde's distinguishing feature is the vegan credentials and glycerin-free formula rather than anything unusual in the shape or thickness. And against buying a small box, the 100 pack only wins on value and convenience once you already know this is your condom. First-time buyers of an extra-large or vegan condom would do better to try a smaller quantity before committing to a hundred.

The bottom line

If you already know a 60mm width suits you and you want a reliable, plant-based, glycerin-free condom, this bulk pack is a practical, honest choice that saves repeat buying. If you are unsure about the size or new to extra-large condoms, confirm the fit with a smaller box first, because 100 of the wrong size helps no one.
