Recommended models: AIR thin/thin, ultra-thin and smooth, long-lasting, bump thread
 
Founded in 1929, Durex accounts for more than 20% of the global condom market share, and is not only the No. 1 condom brand in China in terms of sales, but also the No. 1 in the world.
 
Durex can be said to be synonymous with condoms, and it has led the development of latex condoms in the world. As early as 1951, Durex began to apply automatic condom production lines, which greatly improved production efficiency, and was the first to develop electronic testing technology, which raised the pass rate of condoms to a higher level. In addition, in terms of product innovation, Durex was one of the first condom brands to introduce added lubricants, launching the world's first condom based on the structure of the human genitalia in 1967, and developing the first male polyurethane condom "Durex avanti" in 1997, which was earlier than Okamoto.
 
In 1998, China's condom production planning system began to disintegrate, Durex entered China for the first time, and Qingdao Shuangdie established a joint venture factory, but the two did not intersect in production, Durex brought a complete set of independent production system, compared with traditional domestic condoms, Durex has an overwhelming quality advantage. In 2007, Durex's original parent company, SSL Group, acquired Qingdao London Durex, ending the era of joint ventures.
 
Durex products have a plain style, and the products sold in China are made of natural latex. Compared with the new polyurethane material, natural latex has a long history of use, mature technology, more traditional and reliable, and has ideal performance in elasticity and fit, but there is a thickness bottleneck, and it is technically difficult to achieve that polyurethane is so thin.
 
AIR is the main high-end series of Durex, currently Durex's thinnest condom, latex odor is low, compared to Okamoto 003 platinum, the thickness is slightly inferior, but with the addition of scented lubricant, and the dosage is higher, and it can remain lubricated for a long time during sex. The head position of AIR has been thinned, which has better fit and increased sensitivity, with an average price of 11 yuan/piece. The ultra-thin series is about 20% thicker than the AIR series, but there are more models, with special-shaped, compact and other shape designs, and ice type is also available, which is more cost-effective. In actual use, users have a large difference in the evaluation of ice heat condoms, and it is recommended that first-time users choose more conventional models.
 
Durex long-lasting series is also one of the best-selling products, the series is added with benzocaine blocks, and consumers have complained that Durex durable condom lubricant has coagulated into lumps, in fact, this is the benzocaine drug of the product itself, not a quality problem. Benzocaine can reduce the sensitivity of the glans penis in men, and has a long-lasting effect. Before use, gently knead to distribute evenly for better effect.
 
Increasing the thickness is also another way to reduce the irritation of use, such as Durex's double insurance type, which has a thicker latex layer, which makes men less sensitive, and also has a long-lasting effect, and has a lower risk of rupture, which is a more cost-effective choice. The double insurance type belongs to the safety and confidence series of Durex, which is the entry model of Durex, with high cost performance, with an average price of 2~4 yuan/piece, and the disadvantage is that the thickness is higher, and the foreign body feeling is obvious when used.
 
Durex sex series has threaded, bump type and other styles, sex condoms are non-glossy design, so they are generally thicker and have a high coefficient of friction, so it is recommended to fully lubricate them before sex. In actual use, individual differences are relatively large, some users feel that the sense of stimulation is not obvious, while some people think that it is too stimulating, and the evaluation is different, so we do not make a unified recommendation here.
 
Nowadays, the production process of latex condoms is relatively mature, and many people will pursue a more extreme sexual experience under the premise of ensuring safety. However, in the past 50 years, there has been little major innovation in latex condom technology, with only slight progress in controlling thickness, and the performance of Durex, the representative of traditional condoms, reflects this. Compared with Okamoto, Durex does not have obvious advantages in high-end products, but it is still the most reliable condom brand on the market, and it is better in terms of product popularity, cost performance, and purchase channels.
