Of course, the Latex does kink more because it is softer. So I guess it's a trade off. Dan At 10:52 AM 2/18/2008 -0800, Danny Hearn said something that elicited my response: Gina, did the 24 french help reduce your UTI"S or using the Silicone??? I have never tried silicone, only the latex but I have pretty much UTI trouble.
