Is Okamoto 001 or 003 better to use?

Okamoto 001 and 003 each have their own advantages. 001 is suitable for those who pursue the ultimate thinness experience, while 003 is more suitable for users who value durability and cost-effectiveness.

Advantage comparison

Okamoto 001 is made of polyurethane and is only 0.01 mm thick. It is one of the thinnest condoms currently available and can retain the true touch to the greatest extent. It is especially suitable for partners with high sensitivity requirements. The 003 series is available in latex and polyurethane versions, with a thickness of 0.03 mm. While maintaining good heat transfer properties, it has more outstanding elasticity and toughness, adapting to the needs of more body types. Both have passed international certification and have standard protective functions. 001's cutting-edge essence storage design can reduce the feeling of oppression, and 003's wavy pattern can enhance the friction experience.

Disadvantages comparison

001 is more susceptible to damage due to its ultra-thin nature. It needs to be used with lubricant and to avoid fingernail scratches. The unit price is usually 30%-50% higher than 003. Although the 003 polyurethane version is thinner than the latex version, its heat conductivity is still slightly worse than that of 001. The latex version may have the risk of natural rubber allergy. 001 requires higher wearing skills and has fewer size options. The 003 series has more specifications to choose from, but some users have reported that the basic model has insufficient lubrication.

It is recommended to choose based on actual needs. For the first time trying the ultra-thin model, you can transition from the 003 polyurethane version, and if you are pursuing the ultimate experience, you can choose 001. No matter which one you choose, you need to check the packaging integrity and use it within the validity period. Use water-based lubricant to improve the comfort of use. It should be stored away from light and moisture to avoid contact with oily substances that may affect the stability of the material. If skin discomfort or allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor.
