Q

ARE LUBES SAFE TO USE WITH CONDOMS?

A

Yes. Durex lubricants & Durex Pleasure Gels are totally safe to use with condoms.

Q

ARE THINNER CONDOMS MORE LIKELY TO BREAK?

A

No.The thickness of the condom doesn't necessarily correspond to safety. Please make sure to read the instruction manual.

Q

CAN I USE CONDOMS FOR ANAL SEX?

A

There are currently no specific standards for the manufacturing of condoms for anal sex. For anal sex in particular, application of additional water-based or silicone-based lubricants to the outside of the condom once donned is recommended to help reduce the risk of breakage or slippage of the condom.

Q

CAN I USE FLAVOURED CONDOMS FOR BOTH ORAL AND VAGINAL SEX?

A

Durex flavoured condoms are intended primarily for vaginal sex. However, if you choose to use them in oral sex, the lubricant is safe if ingested. We recommend if used in oral sex that a new condom be used for vaginal sex.

Q

IS IT SAFE TO USE CONDOMS UNDERWATER OR IN A SHOWER?

A

There has been no research into the performance of condoms when they are used in or underwater. The risk of slippage, for example, might increase when used in such circumstances. Though the salt in seawater would not have adverse effects on condom materials, there is a strong possibility that the chemicals used in swimming pools (chlorine and ozone, for example) would. The presence of bath oils or other substances in the water or applied in the shower may have an adverse effect on the properties of the latex condom material.

Q

WHAT DO THE NUMBERS STAMPED ON THE BACK OF THE CONDOM FOIL MEAN? CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE A PRODUCT WAS PURCHASED?

A

Due to the length of time it takes to research product information, we only provide lot number information to law enforcement agencies. However, we can give you some general information. Durex foils and cartons are stamped with the lot number and expiration date as they come out of the manufacturing facility and are packaged for shipping. It usually takes about 90 days for shipments to reach our warehouse from where they are shipped to retailers for sale. The expiration date represents the length of time the product is able to perform as indicated on the labeling based on scientific stability data. Durex condoms normally have a shelf life of 5 years. Currently, the only exception is Durex Avanti Bare polyisoprene condom which has a three year shelf life. As an example, an expiration date of 2014-05 indicated that the condom was manufactured in May 2009 and was probably on retail shelves after August 2009.

Q

WHAT QUALITY STANDARDS DO DUREX CONDOMS MEET?

A

Durex condoms set the quality standard around the world, by meeting or beating all national and international standards. We have even upgraded the requirements for the Durex Quality symbol to make sure we continue to stay ahead of regulatory standards. Here's an example: the international standard for the air burst test is for the condom to contain 18 liters of air. But our requirement is for 22 liters - and typically a Durex condom will expand to contain 40 liters of air.

Q

WHAT QUALITY TESTS DO DUREX CONDOMS GO THROUGH?

A

Every Durex condom is electronically tested to ensure it's up to the job. A random sample of condoms is also taken from each batch for more rigorous quality tests. After measuring thickness and length, samples go through the air inflation test to check for burst strength and elasticity (typically a Durex condom can hold 40 liters of air without bursting). Water leak testing is also carried out. Sample condoms are filled with water - suspended for one minute and rolled on blotting paper which shows up any leakage. Approximately two million water tests are carried out every month in Durex factories. If the sample fails any of the tests, the whole batch is rejected!
