Durex Longer Pleasure, 10 condoms

When should you use these condoms to prolong intercourse?

Durex Longer Pleasure, formerly known as Durex Performance Booster, is a clear condom made of natural rubber latex. It is lubricated with a silicone-based gel—a texture found in many intimate lubricants—and combines this lubrication with a delay gel containing 5% benzocaine, a local anesthetic.

It is this delay gel that makes this condom a product designed to prolong sexual intercourse for couples who want the moment to last longer without compromising on protection.

Like all male condoms, it is intended for contraceptive use and to prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. Each condom is electronically tested, and five quality tests are performed on every production batch.

Its anatomically shaped design with a reservoir tip for added comfort follows the contours of the penis, with a standard thickness. The manufacturing process gives it a pleasant scent—a detail that matters when the condom is worn for longer periods.

Longer-lasting intercourse places greater demands on the condom’s original lubrication. For this reason, we recommend Eden-Gen natural lubricant gel: water-based and compatible with latex condoms, it is applied to the outside of the condom to maintain glide throughout intercourse.

How do you use this delay condom?

Instructions for Use

Before any genital contact, place the condom on the erect penis with the Durex logo facing the penis, and unroll it all the way to the base. After ejaculation, withdraw immediately while holding the condom at the base of the penis.

Precautions

• Do not use if you are allergic to latex or benzocaine: a severe allergic reaction, including anaphylactic shock, is possible. If you are unsure whether you have a latex allergy, consult a doctor or pharmacist.
• If you have a known allergy to another local anesthetic in the same class (procaine, tetracaine), consult a doctor or pharmacist before use.
• In some people, the delay gel may cause reactions such as skin rashes, irritation, burning, or itching. If irritation occurs, stop using these condoms; if irritation persists, consult a doctor.
• Do not use these condoms if you or your partner has irritated skin or a sore in the genital area.
• Avoid contact with the eyes. Wash hands after use.
• STOP USE IMMEDIATELY AND CALL A DOCTOR if you or your partner experience difficulty breathing or have blue lips during use. These signs may indicate methemoglobinemia, a rare side effect of benzocaine.
• If you are taking another medication that may cause methemoglobinemia, consult a doctor or pharmacist before use.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a doctor or pharmacist before use.
• Use only lubricants that are compatible with condoms, applied to the outside of the condom. Oily products (petroleum jelly, baby oil, massage oil, lotions) damage latex. For anal use, it is recommended to add lubricant (do not use Durex Tingle for anal sex).
• Certain medications applied to the penis or vagina may damage the condom: if you are undergoing local treatment, consult a doctor or pharmacist.
• Check the expiration date before use and do not use a condom if the individual wrapper is damaged. Open the wrapper carefully, without using your fingernails, jewelry, teeth, or any sharp objects.
• If the condom does not unroll properly, it is probably inside out: discard it and use a new one.
• Use a condom only once. After oral sex, use a new condom for the next sexual encounter.
• No method of contraception can guarantee 100% effective protection against pregnancy, HIV (AIDS), or other sexually transmitted infections.
• If the condom tears, breaks, or slips off, seek medical advice as soon as possible, and within 72 hours. A pharmacist can provide emergency contraception without a prescription.
• In cases of premature ejaculation, a medical consultation may be necessary.
• If you experience any adverse effects, notify the manufacturer and a healthcare professional. In the event of a serious incident, the relevant national authority (the ANSM in France) must also be notified.
• Dispose of the condom and its packaging in a trash can; never flush them down the toilet.
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Condoms may pose a choking hazard: keep out of reach of children.

Our expert advice on Durex Longer Pleasure condoms

With this style, the direction in which you put it on matters more than with a standard condom. If a condom is put on upside down and then turned right side out, the delay gel would end up on the outside, in contact with your partner, whereas it’s meant to stay on the side facing the penis. This is why it’s so important to be careful when putting on a condom that doesn’t roll down properly: with this model, you should never try to save time by turning it inside out.

Irritation after intercourse does not automatically point to latex: benzocaine may also be the cause, either for you or your partner. Switching to a non-latex condom therefore does not necessarily solve the problem. Make a note of the circumstances and discuss them with your doctor or pharmacist, who will help you distinguish between the two causes before choosing a different type.

FAQ

Does Durex Longer Pleasure gel also work for my partner?

The benzocaine gel is applied to the tip, inside the condom. The outside is coated with lubricant. When put on correctly, the condom keeps the anesthetic on the side facing the penis.

Will Durex Longer Pleasure help me if I ejaculate too quickly?

The numbing agent reduces sensitivity in the glans and can delay ejaculation, though the effect varies from man to man. It’s more beneficial for men who already have some control over ejaculation than for those who ejaculate almost immediately. It also doesn’t teach you how to manage arousal, and the sensations are slightly diminished.

What size is the Durex Longer Pleasure condom?

Durex Longer Pleasure is a standard-sized condom with an average nominal width of 56 mm. A condom that’s too tight can be uncomfortable and may break, while one that’s too loose may slip off: if the standard size feels too tight, a larger size is preferable.

Durex Longer Pleasure is a medical device containing an active ingredient (benzocaine), a regulated health product that bears the CE mark in accordance with these regulations (notified body 2409). Manufacturer: Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare (UK) Limited, Hull, United Kingdom; European authorized representative: RB NL Brands B.V., Schiphol, Netherlands.
