Japanese Sagami <Sagami 001> is as thin as a cicada's wing, only 0.01mm.

The Sagami Original 001 is one of the thinnest condoms available in Canada at just 0.01mm — made by Sagami, a Japanese manufacturer with over 90 years of experience. Its polyurethane construction makes it completely latex-free and odourless, with faster heat transfer than standard latex for a more natural, close-to-skin feel.

Beginner's Guide to Ultra-Thin Condoms

If this is your first time buying an ultra-thin condom, here is what to know before you open the package:

• Start on the lowest intensity — ultra-thin condoms feel noticeably different from standard ones; the reduced barrier sensation can feel unfamiliar at first
• Add extra lubricant — the pre-lubrication is sufficient but adding a water-based lube improves comfort and reduces the chance of micro-tears
• Check the fit first — polyurethane is less stretchy than latex; if standard condoms feel tight, check our condom size guide before ordering
• Store away from heat and sharp objects — polyurethane degrades faster than latex when exposed to high temperatures; keep in the original packaging in a cool, dry place
• Do not use oil-based lube — oil degrades polyurethane just as it degrades latex; stick to water-based or silicone-based formulas only

Lube Compatibility

Use water-based or silicone-based lubricant only. Oil-based products degrade polyurethane. If using sex toys in the same session, water-based lube is the universally safe choice. Learn more: Lube and Condom Compatibility.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Sagami Original 001?

The Sagami Original 001 is a 0.01mm ultra-thin condom made from polyurethane by Sagami Rubber Industries in Japan. It is latex-free, odourless, and pre-lubricated with a water-based formula. It is designed to maximize sensitivity while maintaining reliable protection.

Is the Sagami 001 latex-free?

Yes. The Sagami 001 is made from polyurethane, not natural latex. This makes it suitable for people with latex allergies or sensitivities. It produces no rubber smell and conducts body heat faster than latex condoms.

Is 0.01mm actually safe?

Yes. Despite its extreme thinness, the Sagami 001 meets international condom safety standards. Polyurethane is a strong, medical-grade material. The thickness difference affects sensation, not protection integrity when used correctly.

What lube can I use with the Sagami 001?

Use water-based or silicone-based lubricant only. Oil-based lubricants (including coconut oil, petroleum jelly, and many massage oils) can degrade polyurethane and reduce the condom's effectiveness. The condom comes pre-lubricated, but adding more water-based lube is safe and often recommended.

How does the Sagami 001 compare to the Okamoto 001?

Both are 0.01mm ultra-thin Japanese condoms, but they differ in material. The Sagami 001 uses polyurethane (less stretchy, higher heat conductivity), while the Okamoto 001 uses polyisoprene (more elastic, closer to latex feel). Both are latex-free. The Sagami tends to suit users who prioritize heat transfer; the Okamoto suits those who prefer a more elastic fit.
