Durex Fetherlite 52.5mm

Durex Fetherlite is an ultra-thin condom made from Natural Rubber Latex, manufactured by Reckitt Benckiser (Thailand) Ltd. It is classified as a medical device for contraception and protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

The Fetherlite line's key feature is its exceptional thinness, designed to deliver a natural, close-to-skin feel — as if you're barely wearing a condom. Despite its thinness, it undergoes Durex's rigorous quality testing: electrical testing, tensile strength testing, and air burst testing to international standards.

• Size: 52.5 mm (nominal width) — standard fit for most Asian men
• Pack: 3 pieces per box
• Registration: Pho. 32/2549
• Manufacturer: Reckitt Benckiser (Thailand) Ltd.

The generic name is Natural Rubber Latex Condom. The Fetherlite stands out within the Durex range for its extra-thin profile.

Durex Fetherlite condoms serve three primary purposes:

1. Contraception
The condom acts as a physical barrier, preventing sperm from entering the vagina and fertilizing an egg. When used correctly every time, effectiveness reaches up to 98% for preventing pregnancy.

2. STI Prevention
Condoms reduce the risk of transmitting or acquiring infections spread through bodily fluids, including HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and some HPV strains.

3. Enhanced Pleasure
The ultra-thin design of Durex Fetherlite allows both partners to feel closer to each other, eliminating the need to choose between pleasure and protection.

Note: Condoms do not provide 100% STI protection, as some infections (e.g., herpes, genital warts) can spread through skin-to-skin contact in areas not covered by the condom.

Correct use of Durex Fetherlite is crucial for effective protection. Follow these 6 steps:

1. Check before use — Verify the expiry date on the box and wrapper. Check the wrapper is undamaged. Never use an expired or damaged condom.
2. Open carefully — Tear along the notch; never use teeth or sharp objects (nails, scissors) as these can damage the condom.
3. Put on when fully erect — Place the condom at the tip of the penis with the rolled rim facing outward.
4. Squeeze the tip — Pinch the teat at the top to remove trapped air, preventing the condom from bursting at ejaculation.
5. Roll down fully — Gently unroll the condom all the way to the base of the penis.
6. Remove correctly — After sex, withdraw while still erect, holding the rim of the condom firmly, roll it off, wrap in tissue and dispose in the bin.

Important: Use each condom only once. Never double up — wearing two condoms increases friction and the risk of tearing.

Overall, Durex Fetherlite condoms are very safe for most users. However, some individuals may experience unwanted reactions.

Possible side effects (uncommon):

• Latex allergy reaction — redness, itching, swelling, or irritation at the contact site. This is the most common adverse effect of natural rubber latex condoms.
• Lubricant irritation — those with sensitive skin may experience irritation from the lubricant coating on the condom.

Symptoms requiring immediate discontinuation:

• Severe rash or hives
• Swelling of the tongue, throat, or face
• Difficulty breathing (anaphylaxis — very rare)

If you experience severe allergy or irritation, stop using natural latex condoms and consult a doctor about alternatives such as polyurethane or polyisoprene condoms.

Contraindications for Durex Fetherlite:

• Natural Latex Allergy — Do not use this condom type under any circumstances. Choose polyurethane or polyisoprene condoms instead.
• Expired product — Never use expired or damaged-wrapper condoms, as protection efficacy is significantly compromised.

Precautions when using condoms:

• Oil-based lubricants — Avoid baby oil, petroleum jelly, coconut oil, or any vegetable oil as they degrade natural latex and can cause the condom to break. Use only water-based or silicone-based lubricants.
• Sharp objects — Be careful of nails, rings, or sharp materials that could tear the condom.
• Vaginal/rectal medications — Some contain oil-based ingredients; consult a pharmacist before concurrent use with condoms.
• Storage — Avoid storing in wallets for extended periods or in hot cars, as heat and pressure degrade condom integrity.

To help choose the right condom, here's a comparison of Durex Fetherlite against other popular Durex options:

• Durex Fetherlite Ultima — 52 mm — ~20% thinner than standard Fetherlite — thinnest in Durex latex range — Maximum sensitivity seekers
• Durex Fetherlite (this product) — 52.5 mm — Ultra-thin, natural feel, accessible price — Those wanting thinness at a reasonable price
• Durex Love — 52.5 mm — Standard thickness, reliable all-rounder — Standard condom at a budget price
• Durex Protect — 52.5 mm — Thicker than standard, durability-focused — Maximum confidence users

Summary: For the thinnest feel, choose Fetherlite Ultima. For quality thinness at an accessible price, Fetherlite is the best pick.

Durex Fetherlite condoms can be combined with other products and contraception methods. Here's what to know:

Compatible with:

• Water-based lubricants — such as Durex Play, K-Y Jelly, or similar. Safe to use with latex condoms, reduces friction, and decreases risk of breakage.
• Silicone-based lubricants — compatible with latex condoms and last longer than water-based options.
• Other contraception methods — condoms can be used alongside the pill, injectable contraceptives, or IUDs to simultaneously prevent pregnancy and protect against STIs.

Incompatible with:

• Oil-based lubricants — baby oil, petroleum jelly, coconut oil, or oil-containing lotions — these degrade natural latex and cause condom failure.
• Another condom — never double up; friction between two condoms causes both to break.
