Oh, funinthesun, the polyisoprene condoms are more elastic than polyurethane condoms. They might be what you need/want.

I can answer this. They will most likely degrade. Polyisoprene is a fancy word for the specific type of polymer (long chain of carbon). Any polymer is an oil based product. Ever heard the expression "like dissolves like"?
In other words, I would never use anything but water based lubes on any condom that was made of a polymer. Not even on polyurethane even though it has been deemed safe by the manufacturer.
