The Verdict :
Unlubricated condoms are the chameleons of the latex condom world, and they are so useful precisely because of that versatility.

Unlubricated condoms are particularly useful for people who are sensitive to one or more of the ingredients in commercial personal lubricants. With unlubricated condoms, they can find a water or silicone based lubricant they like and stick to it without worrying about irritation from what is already on the condom.
