Condoms not vegan? (was: Converse not vegan?)

[Guest guest]

I don't know about Converse, but I came across this old article on

the BBC site, where they say Condoms are not vegan, but they did list

one vegan condom manufacturer in Germany:

So what is the up-to-date news on this? Any available in the USA?

ImpactwillkillSubject: Re: Condoms not vegan? (was: Converse not vegan?)I didnt realize how few people knew about this issue.  Yes, condoms ARE NOT vegan in general.  However, thankfully, there are two brands you can get in the states that are.  There are condomi vegan condoms imported from europe which can be found at online vegan stores and in portland at food fight grocery on division.  Glide condoms are also vegan and sold in the US.  I think they might have them at good vibes in san francisco on Valencia St. and at Rainbow grocery in San Francisco on Folsom St.   My computer has a glitch now so I cant get on SFBAVEG to post which is why I emailed you direct but if you can post this I would appreciate it.  They also have vegan lubricants and damns at good vibes.
