Why Are Durex Condoms So Popular?

Why Are Durex Condoms So Popular?

Why Are Durex Condoms So Popular?!

Durex are easily one of the most recognisable condom brands. It's likely you've seen them on the supermarket shelves, tucked away in your closest corner store, or picked them up from your local healthcare centre. If you've ever been in a rush to grab some condoms before your workmate sees you lingering in the supermarket aisles, then it's likely you grabbed a box of Durex. Hey, we've all been there!

Durex condoms were originally developed and produced in the United Kingdom and have since become one of the world's most popular condom brands. They were originally introduced way back in 1915 (104 years ago!) under the name London Rubber Company, and have since taken the world by storm.

Durex now sells a range of other adult products, including lubricant and some sex toys. In fact, you'll very likely find their vibrating cock rings in the supermarket too! This is a great step in the world of adult products, as Durex is helping to pave the way to normalising sex toys and sexual pleasure.

Why are condoms so popular?

Condoms are one of the best forms of contraception for many people, and they actively help prevent pregnancy and the spread of STIs. The condom is rolled over the penis before sex, and acts as a barrier by preventing any bodily fluids from being transferred. When used correctly, condoms are approximately 98% effective. However, typically condoms are not used correctly every time, making them around 98% effective in most cases.

Condoms are a great form of birth control because they don't require any hormones that other contraceptives, such as the pill or depo injection, have. Some people suffer from weight gain, moodiness, acne, and other symptoms due to increase in hormones, so condoms are a great alternative!

Typically, condoms are made using latex, however there are also multiple options for those who have latex allergies. Latex allergies are not overly common, however it's estimated that approximately 2.5% of the general population are allergic. Latex allergies can be dangerous as people don't often think about all the things that contain latex; rubber gloves, balloons, elastic bands, mattresses, condoms, and more.

What's so good about Durex?

Durex has been around for ages. That means your parents probably used them. Maybe even your grandparents! It goes without saying that people tend to trust brands that have been in the business for a long time.

Plus, Durex has a very vigorous testing process, and they only use fine quality raw materials. Every single condom is tested for holes and imperfections, to ensure worry-free fun at all times! Samples of batches of the condoms are electronically tested, measured for thickness and length, put through air inflations tests to check for burst strength and water leak tested. If any of the samples fails the test, then the whole batch is discarded and the process starts again!

Further, Durex exceeds all of the quality standards around the world. For example, the international standard for the air burst test is for the condom to contain 18 litres of air without bursting. But Durex requires 22 litres, and the condoms should expand to contain 40 litres of air anyway! Durex also has a great range and variety of condoms. Let's take a look at what’s on offer!

Classic Condoms

The original Durex condoms! These condoms are lubricated, for added sensation and to prevent breakage and discomfort, with a non-spermicidal lube. Non-spermicidal simply means that this lube is great for people who are sensitive to condoms!

The Durex Extra Safe condoms are made slightly thicker for peace of mind and a little more reassurance!

Flavoured Condoms

Ultra-Thin condoms can help enhance sex by providing a more natural and sensational feel. These condoms are 20% thinner than standard latex condoms, and therefore create a more intimate experience.

Or, if you struggle with sensation during sex, another great option are the Orgasm Intense condoms! These are lubricated with stimulating gel and feature ribbed and dotted textures for added sensation. If you're really looking to up your game, these are a definite must!

Lubricant

While Durex condoms are usually pre-lubricated, you might want some extra lube for foreplay, or to reapply during sex! It's a great idea to use lubricant on your condom, as this can help avoid friction and prevent your condom from breaking or tearing.

Lubricant is also great for increasing pleasure during sex. Many women don't produce enough natural lubrication to make sex comfortable, so lube can help ensure everything glides in smoothly. This also prevents pain and discomfort so you can focus on pleasure at all times!

Top Tips for Using Condoms

If you want to get the most out of your condom, there are several steps you can take!

  1. Check the expiration date. Condoms do expire! And once they are expired, they are much more likely to break or tear during use.
  2. Store them in a cool, dry place. Moisture is not good for condoms! So jean pockets and wallets are a big no-no!
  3. Never re-use condoms! Even if you're ready for round two straight away, it's important to never re-use condoms in any situation. Once you’'re done, tie the end and throw it away!
  4. Oil-based lubricants, such as coconut oil and Vaseline, cannot be used with condoms! These lubes will break down the latex and make your condom pretty much useless.
