Durex – intimate gels, rings and condoms from the British brand
Durex is a British brand of intimate products, now owned by Reckitt. It started out with condoms, and over time expanded to include intimate gels, massage gels and accessories. In our catalogue, Durex mainly features lubricants – ranging from neutral water-based gels to scented and massage gels – as well as vibrating rings and condom packs.
Who manufactures them and what certification do they have?
Durex condoms sold in the European Union are manufactured by Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare (UK) Ltd in Hull, UK. They are CE-marked medical devices; conformity is assessed by Notified Body No. 1639 – SGS Belgium NV in Antwerp. The manufacturer’s authorised representative in the EU is RB NL Brands B.V. in the Netherlands, and the importer is Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare B.V. in Belgium. Durex intimate gels are also CE-marked medical devices. Full contact details can be found on each Durex product page.
Intimate gels – which one to choose
Naturals, 100 ml – water-based gels free from artificial fragrances, colourants and parabens; according to the manufacturer, made from natural ingredients.
- Naturals Pure – odourless and colourless, for everyday use.
- Naturals Sensitive – with aloe vera leaf juice, for sensitive skin.
- Naturals Hyaluro – with sodium hyaluronate, for when you need extra lubrication.
Play, 50 ml – a small tube for your bag or bedside table.
- Originals – classic lubrication without any extra effects.
- Warming – water-based, with a gentle warming sensation.
- Tingling – water-based, with a cooling, tingling sensation.
- Strawberry and Cherry – water-based, with a strawberry or cherry scent.
- Perfect Gliss – silicone-based; lasts longer on the skin and doesn’t dry out as quickly as water-based gels.
Play Massage 2-in-1, 200 ml – a massage gel and lubricant in one, water-based, in a bottle with an applicator: with aloe vera, Ylang Ylang with a floral scent, and Guarana with a fresh scent.
Durex water-based gels can be used with latex and polyisoprene condoms. If you’re looking for a gel from another brand, take a look at the intimate gels section.
Rings and vibrators
- Vibe Ring – a flexible ring with a small vibrating head, lasts up to 20 minutes, battery included; a good choice for your first experience with vibration.
- Devil Ring – a ring with a vibrating head and two protrusions for clitoral stimulation, lasts up to 30 minutes.
- Intense Little Devil – a vibrating ring, lasts up to 20 minutes.
- Intense Pure Fantasy – a waterproof vibrator with a dial to adjust the vibration intensity.
Condoms
We stock Durex condoms in the following packs: Love Collection 30 (strawberry-flavoured, ribbed and studded, ultra-thin, and Extended Pleasure with benzocaine to delay ejaculation) and Pleasure Mix 40. Durex condoms are made from natural latex – if you have a confirmed or suspected latex allergy, choose latex-free condoms.
How to use and store
A condom is for single use only. Before use, read the instructions and check the expiry date on the packet or wrapper; do not use a condom from a damaged packet. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct sunlight, and dispose of used condoms in household waste, not in the toilet. With latex condoms, use only condom-safe lubricants and avoid oil-based products.
Good to know
Condoms reduce the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, but no method of contraception offers complete protection.
