From Condoms to Cindy, here's what you need to know.

Are HANX condoms safe?

Yes, HANX Condoms are verified by the CE mark and undergo rigorous testing to ensure maximum safety. HANX Condoms are also FDA approved. Condoms are a reliable protection but no contraceptive can protect 100% against pregnancy, HIV and/or sexually transmitted infections.

How thick are your condoms?

Condoms don’t get much thinner. Ours are only about 0.055mm to 0.065mm thick. Struggling to picture how thin that is? Same. So we looked it up. And so you can understand, it’s roughly the width of one hair.

Are your condoms vegan? 

Yep! Our condoms do NOT contain any animal by products such as casein (often found in other condoms) and we are officially certified by The Vegan Society.

We always look to be as sustainable as possible. We have reduced energy consumption, chemical load, and waste. Our production has a waste water treatment and compared to plastics, rubber articles degrade very quickly. Our condoms are made from latex which has been responsibly sourced and traded.  Our outer boxes are made from recyclable cardboard. For now, our condoms are wrapped in foil, as a medical device they need to stay fresh. We are always looking to improve our sustainability and open to new advances in packaging to do so. 

What are your condom ingredients? 

Our condoms avoid unnecessary chemicals, and our ingredient list is: Natural latex, Silicone Oil, Magnesium, Kaeflo/ Absorbo, and Silicone LE.

Our condoms do not contain any spermicide or parabens. As in any rubber articles, there can be traces of nitrosamines, only just around the detection limit. We regularly test for nitrosamines. Scientific literature shows that the amount of nitrosamines released from condoms to human body is extremely low in comparison to the nitrosamines from food.

What's the difference between the small and large size?

It's all about the width, baby. Standard: Nominal width = 53mm, Length = 185mm.

Large Size: Nominal width = 56mm, Length = 195mm.

What ingredients are in HANX Lube? 

Aqua, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Propylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate. We developed this to be as close to as nature’s equivalent as possible.

Our lube does not contain any glycerins, spermicides or anaesthetics.

Is HANX Lube pH balanced?

Yes, it has a pH of 4.5, and so is close to the vagina’s natural pH is between 3.8 and 4.5. Fun fact: one ingredient we use is lactic acid, which your vagina produces to stay healthy, keep infections at bay, and it maintains the vaginal environment acidic.

There’s no artificial smell or flavour in our lubricant. Step away from that bottle of Cheeky Cherry: the sugar present in flavoured lubes can increase your risk of yeast infections.

Can you use HANX Lube with condoms?

Yes! It’s water-based and safe to use with condoms. Go wild.

Is your Lube vegan?

Yes! It’s Vegan Society certified.
