Our Protection line of products is FDA-cleared for STI protection, and all Protection batches are tested to ensure they meet the FDA’s standards for STI protection during oral-vaginal and oral-anal sex. Our Pleasure product line still undergoes extremely diligent testing, but not to the same standard required by the FDA for our Protection product line. Our Pleasure product line should therefore not be used for STI protection.

Yes! Lorals for Protection are used as a barrier when engaging in oral/vaginal sex and oral/anal sex to help reduce the transmission of bodily fluids, harmful pathogens, and sexually transmitted infections.

Lorals for Protection are made of natural rubber latex and are used as a barrier when engaging in oral/vaginal sex and oral/anal sex to help reduce the transmission of bodily fluids, harmful pathogens, and sexually transmitted infections. Lorals for Protection create a layer between your partner’s mouth and nose and your vulva and anus during cunnilingus and rimming, and the opaque latex material provides additional stimulation to the clitoris and labia without skin-to-skin contact. They were designed with fashion and medical device experts to ensure that they fit like your favorite undies while offering the STI protection of a dental dam. The super stretchy, silky panties sculpt to your body’s curves, allowing your partner’s mouth and tongue to move fully. Lorals for protection stay in place during oral sex and are designed to cover your vulva and anus the entire time.

Like vanilla! The scent comes from food-grade, water-based vanilla flavor that's also used in baking. And thanks to our patented manufacturing process, Lorals don't have a rubber smell or taste like some other latex products.

Lorals for Protection are single-use and should not be reused. Just like a condom, they should only be used once and then disposed.

Yes! Lorals for Protection were created to replace dental dams with sexy, wearable protection that make safe sex easy, sensual, and pleasurable.

No, Lorals are not intended to be used as a contraceptive and should not be used to prevent pregnancy.

Since Lorals are made of latex instead of fabric, they might fit differently than your normal undies. On people in larger bodies, both styles may show a bit more cheek, and the waistbands may stretch to be more like a string bikini or tanga style panty. Check out our FAQ page (How to Put On Your Lorals) for all our top tips on getting the right fit.
