Why use Durex Condoms

Durex is having more than 80 years of experience of manufacturing condoms. So it's hardly surprising that Durex condoms are the world's leading condoms.

All Durex condoms use only fine quality raw materials. And every single Durex condom is electronically tested for holes and imperfections. Durex condoms  lead the way in innovation too.


This means that all standard Durex condoms are now 'easy on' allowing them to be easy and quick  to put on and more comfortable to wear.


What quality tests do Durex condoms go through?


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 condom factories.


If the sample fails any of the tests, the whole batch is rejected!


What quality standards do Durex condoms meet?


Durex condoms set the quality standard around the world, by meeting or beating all national and international standards.


Durex has even upgraded the requirements for the Durex condom Quality symbol to make sure it 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.
