Durex Explore 52.5mm

Durex Explore Condom is a male condom made from premium Natural Rubber Latex by Reckitt Benckiser (Thailand) Ltd., backed by over 80 years of global trust.

Key Features

• 52.5mm width — Standard fit for Asian men
• Smooth surface — Classic, natural feel
• Easy-On Shape — Non-parallel walls for faster, easier application
• Reservoir tip — Captures semen to reduce leakage risk
• Built-in lubricant — Reduces friction for added comfort

Every Durex condom is 100% electronically tested and meets ISO 4074 international standards.

Durex Explore Condom serves two main purposes:

1. Contraception

Acts as a physical barrier, blocking sperm from reaching the egg. When used correctly every time, it's up to 98% effective at preventing pregnancy.

2. STI Prevention

The only contraceptive that also protects against STIs including HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, and hepatitis B.

Additional Benefits

• No hormonal side effects
• No prescription required — widely available
• Suitable for all sexually active adults

Using Durex Explore correctly is critical for maximum protection:

Step-by-Step

1. Check — Verify expiry date; ensure wrapper is undamaged
2. Open — Tear along the notch; never use teeth or sharp objects
3. Orient — Reservoir tip must face outward
4. Apply — Pinch tip to expel air, place on erect penis, unroll to base
5. After — Hold base and withdraw while still erect
6. Dispose — Wrap in tissue, bin it — never flush

Key Rules

• Always use a new condom — never reuse
• Apply before any genital contact
• Never double up — it increases breakage risk

Durex Explore is generally very safe and causes no systemic side effects. However, some users may experience the following:

Possible Side Effects

• Latex Allergy Reaction — Redness, itching, swelling, or irritation at the contact area. Severe latex allergy can cause anaphylaxis in rare cases.
• Lubricant Sensitivity — Some users with sensitive skin may experience irritation from the lubricant.

When to Stop Using

• If you experience rash, itching, swelling, or redness at the contact area
• If severe irritation persists after stopping use
• Seek immediate medical attention if breathing difficulties occur

Important Note

Condoms contain no hormones, making them ideal for those who want to avoid hormonal side effects associated with other contraceptive methods.

Contraindications

• Latex Allergy — Do not use if you or your partner has a latex allergy. Choose polyisoprene or polyurethane condoms instead.
• Expired product — Never use a condom past its expiry date.
• Damaged packaging — Do not use if the foil wrapper is torn or compromised.

Precautions

• Oil-based lubricants — Never use with petroleum jelly, baby oil, body lotion, or vegetable oils as these degrade latex. Use only water-based or silicone-based lubricants.
• Storage — Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat. Do not store in wallets or hot cars.
• Single use only — Never reuse a condom.
• No double-bagging — Wearing two condoms simultaneously increases friction and the risk of breakage.
• Vaginal medications — Some creams and suppositories contain oil — consult a pharmacist before use alongside condoms.

Durex Explore can be safely used with certain products, but there are important restrictions to follow:

Safe to Use With

• Water-based lubricants — Such as Durex Play Gel or K-Y Jelly; reduces friction and irritation
• Silicone-based lubricants — Long-lasting; suitable for water activities but may damage silicone toys
• Oral contraceptive pills — Combining methods maximizes pregnancy prevention
• Implants / IUDs — Use together to also protect against STIs

Never Use With

• Any oil-based products — Baby oil, lotion, petroleum jelly, coconut oil, or cooking oils degrade latex within minutes
• Certain vaginal creams/gels — Check ingredients; oil-containing products compromise condom integrity
• A second condom — Double-bagging creates friction that increases breakage risk
