Okamoto Brings Its Thinnest, Safest Condom in India: The 0.02 Polyurethane

By Editorial On Dec 8, 2025

Established in Japan in 1934, Okamoto Corporation is a global leader in condom and wellness technology. It is known globally for its scientific approach to intimacy, combining precision engineering with advanced material innovation to make protection feel as natural as possible. From proprietary Sheerlon™ latex to breakthrough medical-grade Polyurethane, Okamoto has consistently redefined the global standard for safety and sensation. Every Okamoto condom is tested three times and certified by the U.S. FDA, European CE and Japan’s JIS standards, ensuring reliability and consistency in every unit.

India consumes 280 crore condoms annually, yet less than 10% are being purchased or endorsed consistently by women. One of the key reasons is that most conventional latex condoms rely on strong fragrances, flavours or additives to mask the smell of latex, ingredients that can cause irritation, dryness, altered vaginal pH and overall discomfort. Okamoto’s 0.02 directly responds to this gap with a product designed around women’s comfort from the outset. Made from medical-grade Polyurethane, a biocompatible material also used to create artificial blood vessels, the 0.02 is odourless, hypoallergenic, inert and pH-neutral. It contains no latex proteins or numbing agents like benzocaine. The material conducts heat better than latex, creating a warm, natural, skin-to-skin sensation that elevates closeness while maintaining uncompromising safety.

The Okamoto 0.02 stands out as a technological breakthrough: at just 0.02 mm, it is the thinnest condom available in India and feels significantly lighter and more seamless than traditional options. Despite its delicacy, PU is three times stronger than latex, offering enhanced durability without reducing sensitivity or flexibility. Its ultra-smooth, zero-odour surface eliminates the discomfort commonly associated with latex-based condoms, allowing both partners to experience protection that feels almost invisible.

Alongside the 0.02, Okamoto also offers two latex-based products, both made with the brand’s proprietary Sheerlon™ latex. This high tech latex is thinner, clearer and five times stronger than ordinary latex. The best offering in Sheerlon™ range is Okamoto 0.03 (in Platinum, Aloe, and Real Fit variations) all uniformly 0.03mm from base to tip-important as the tip is especially the most sensitive. The 0.03 range is specifically engineered to deliver heightened sensitivity without the fragility typically associated with thinner condoms. The Skinless Skin range, also crafted with Sheerlon™, is silk-smooth to the touch and engineered to replicate the sensation of skin itself.

The company’s proprietary material innovations, including its ultra-thin polyurethane and refined latex structures, have redefined standards of comfort and reliability in over 100 countries. The products, Okamoto’s 0.02, 0.03 and Skinless Skin series are now available on Amazon, TATA 1MG and select premium pharmacies, including Guardian Pharmacy, and ensure discreet and convenient access for consumers across the country. With its legacy of Japanese precision and commitment to women’s health, Okamoto aims to introduce a new era of intimacy in India, one where safety, comfort and sensation can finally coexist.
