Japanese condoms account for a high proportion of the high-end market, led by Okamoto and Sagami, and the production technology is leading in the field of high-end condoms, and the products are well-known in Asia. Like Okamoto, Sagami was also founded in 1934, and it has a leading polyurethane condom production technology, which is second only to Okamoto in sales in Japan, and is popular with Japanese stars.
In China, Okamoto's brand recognition is high, but when it comes to ultra-thin polyurethane condoms, Sagami is superior. As early as the 80s of the 19th century, polyurethane materials were used in the production of female condoms, but the experience was unsatisfactory and did not become popular in the market. In 1997, although Durex developed male polyurethane condoms, the early TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) condoms did not have outstanding performance and strong plastic feeling, so they were not favored by the market. In 2005, Sagami was the first condom manufacturer in the world to improve and develop ultra-thin polyurethane material, and in 2005, it launched the first water-based polyurethane condom Sagami 0.02, breaking through the thickness bottleneck of latex condoms and making the thickness of condoms reach below 0.03mm for the first time. Sagami launched the 0.01 at the end of 2013, while Okamoto launched the same grade of "001" polyurethane condoms two years later, and the current polyurethane condoms in the Chinese market are mainly monopolized by these two Japanese brands.
The Sagami 0.02 and 0.01 series have the advantages of polyurethane condoms, but they also cannot avoid the defects of polyurethane, and the fit and elasticity are slightly poor. In the actual test, the thickness of the Sagami 0.01 is 0.018mm, and the thickness of the Sagami 0.02 is 0.024mm, which is smaller than the radius of the hair, although it does not fully reach the thickness of the real 0.01 and 0.02, but it is already one of the thinnest condoms in the industry.
With a diameter of 36mm, the Sagami 0.01 standard model is slightly larger than the Okamoto 001 standard model, which is more suitable for larger men, and is available in different sizes to meet the needs of different consumers. Sagami was also one of the first brands to use avocado boxes, which made it easier to distinguish between front and back and easier to use. Both Sagami and Okamoto's polyurethane condoms have a lower amount of lubrication and can be used with additional lubricants. The price of 0.02 is about 9 yuan / piece, and 0.01 has not been sold in Chinese mainland at a price of about 18 yuan / piece.
Sagami is one of the first choices for polyurethane condoms, the quality of the products is not inferior to similar products in Okamoto, and Sagami also has a variety of latex condoms for sale, and the sales volume in Japan is not low, but such products are not well-known in the Chinese market and have few sales channels, so they are not recommended.
