Our bad for not keeping up to date with the very latest in condom releases! You're right, Durex took Avanti off the market and it's now back on -- and it's no longer made from polyurethane; it's now made from a newer material called polyisoprene. We've updated the entry above to reflect this, and have added a few more links to condoms made of both polyurethane and polyisoprene. Good luck getting a batch of those new Durex condoms in. And glad to hear that Durex treats non-profits well -- we continue to heart Durex! Hey Ann, thanks so much for the update. Our bad for not keeping up to date with the very latest in condom releases!

The mainstream media and doctors all seem to focus on hormonal methods. Douchey. Lots of side effects while trying to kill my millions of sperm? No thank you. It looks like stupid issues push all the funding money toward hormonal methods. I think the most promising approaches involve disrupting the outer membrane of sperm, so that they can't fertilize an egg. Here are two links: http://malecontraceptives.org/methods/risug.php http://malecontraceptives.org/methods/nifedipine.php I would find it delicious if Nifedipine were proven effective, and a black market for it developed, making us all criminals for wanting to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

For the past two years I've been in charge of purchasing condoms for a peer sexual-health group at a major university. Last year, I was unable to get Avanti because it had been brought back to formula, so my only option was the Trojan non-latex (which of course does not sell at non-profit prices.) I had heard that Durex was about to bring their non-latex back on the market, but it was not polyurethane based, and it was being sold under a different name. Is Avanti back on the market?
