SHEER GLYDE dams are a silky thin 25cm x 15 cm (10 inches x 6 inches) latex sheet especially designed as a barrier for use during oral sex (cunnilingus — oral vaginal sex, or rimming — oral/anal sex).

Most men and women do not understand the risk they may be exposing themselves to when engaging in unprotected oral sex.

During oral sex, unless a barrier product is used, many infections can be transmitted, including genital herpes, chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhoea and HIV/AIDS. SHEER GLYDE dams, when properly used, help reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

The SHEER GLYDE DAM was developed in response to the need for a barrier product for safe oral sex and is the registered, trade marked property of GLYDE Health Pty Ltd. It is also the only FDA and European (CE) approved barrier product for protection against STIs during oral sex.
