Durex Extended Pleasure delay condoms, 12 units

Whether in my morning shower routine or before a night out as a couple, you can plan to use these delay condoms to transform your sex life. Durex Extended Pleasure addresses a very concrete concern: premature ejaculation. With its Performa lubricant containing 5% benzocaine, it works directly to delay the moment, allowing both partners to enjoy themselves for longer.

Delay lubricant and Performa technology

Benzocaine is a mild local anesthetic that reduces sensitivity without eliminating it completely—you still feel pleasure, but with more control. Performa lubricant is applied directly to the condom, so the effect is felt as soon as it is put on. This is a practical and effective approach that Durex has tested for years. I base my opinion on my customers' experiences in the shop and on the technical specifications: this type of product really works for those who need it, without being a miracle cure. If premature ejaculation persists despite using these condoms, a medical consultation can help identify other causes.

Natural latex, anatomical shape, and dimensions

The condom is made of smooth, transparent, lubricated natural rubber latex. Its nominal width is 56 mm, which suits most body types. The Easy-On shape is anatomical with a reservoir tip—an important detail: the extra space at the end reduces leaks and improves sensation for both partners. Durex designed this shape so that you do not feel discomfort or distraction during use, just pleasure without unnecessary friction.

Contents and practical use

The box contains 12 condoms, allowing you to try them at your own pace and keep some on hand. Before use, I recommend that you:

• Check the expiration date and that the packaging is intact
• Open the packet carefully (no sharp fingernails, no teeth—the latex is fragile)
• Put the condom on before any penetration, leaving a little space at the tip
• Clean up after use and throw the condom in the trash (not down the toilet)
• Read our postpartum well-being guide if you are resuming your sex life after childbirth

Compatibility and important precautions

Latex is compatible only with water-based lubricants—NEVER oil (coconut oil, petroleum jelly, mineral oil), as these degrade latex and make it porous. If you use additional lubricant, make sure it is labeled “latex-compatible.” Performa lubricant may cause redness, irritation, burning, or itching in some people. If you experience discomfort, stop using it and consult a doctor. Do not use these condoms if you or your partner has inflamed or chapped skin. If either of you becomes short of breath or develops blue lips, stop immediately and call emergency services.

Who it is for and who it is not for

Ideal for: Couples where one partner wants to prolong intercourse, or those looking for a simple, noninvasive solution to premature ejaculation. It is a classic pharmacy product, effective and free of shame. If you want to explore other intimate well-being options, discover our selection of well-being products.

Less suitable for: People with a latex allergy (choose polyurethane or polyisoprene condoms instead). Those with a known sensitivity to benzocaine. Those looking for a comprehensive medical solution—these condoms are a first step, not a treatment. If the problem persists, medical advice is genuinely helpful.

Advice from a friend— I have seen plenty of boxes come through the shop over the past 10 years, and honestly, this product does what it promises without any fuss. There is no shame in using it, and no serious side effects if you follow the precautions. Try it without stress.
