Durex brand is a portmanteau of “Durability, Reliability, and Excellence”, though some people mistake it as being “Durable Latex”. Durex is made by UK-based multinational SSL International and the name trademarked in 1992.

Durex condoms represent around one quarter of the global market for prophylactic sheathes, manufacturing around one billion units per year in 17 factories worldwide.Durex condoms are the most popular brand of condoms in the UK meaning that most sexually active people in the UK who use condoms use Durex.

The Durex range includes nine varieties of latex condom, including the Sheik and Ramses brands popular for decades in North America, and the Avanti condom, the first male condom made from polyurethane. Polyurethane condoms don’t suffer from the “latex rot” and are suited for users who have an allergic reaction to latex (a common occurence and one which until now has not been responded to).

In August 2007, Durex announced that it expected to launch a new line of condoms that will help men get a firmer erection and increase penis size. The condoms will contain a gel in the tip that dilates arteries and increases blood flow to the penis.
