Durex Performa - 52mm

Durex Performa is a premium Natural Latex condom with a smooth surface, 52.5 mm width, and a unique inner coating of 5% Benzocaine — a mild topical anaesthetic that gently reduces sensitivity to help men last longer during intercourse.

Manufactured by Reckitt Benckiser (Thailand) Ltd., a global leader in sexual wellbeing products, and approved by FDA Thailand (Registration No. ผ. 33/2549). Sold in packs of 3 condoms per box.

Durex Performa is ideal for couples seeking a more satisfying shared experience, giving men better control over timing and helping reduce concerns about premature ejaculation.

Durex Performa condoms provide protection in two key areas:

1. Prevention of Unintended Pregnancy

The condom acts as a physical barrier preventing sperm from reaching the vagina. When used correctly every time, condoms are up to 98% effective at preventing pregnancy.

2. Reduced Risk of STIs

Helps protect against HIV/AIDS, gonorrhoea, syphilis, chlamydia, and hepatitis B. Note that no method offers 100% protection, particularly for skin-contact infections like herpes or HPV in areas not covered by the condom.

3. Delay Function (Special Feature)

The inner 5% Benzocaine coating reduces penile sensitivity, allowing men to maintain intercourse longer than with a standard condom — making the experience more satisfying for both partners.

Correct use of Durex Performa is essential for maximum protection. Follow these steps every time:

1. Check the packaging — Verify the expiry date on both the box and the foil wrapper. Ensure the wrapper is undamaged.
2. Open carefully — Tear from the notch at the edge of the wrapper. Never use teeth, scissors, or sharp objects.
3. Check the direction — Place the condom on the tip of a fully erect penis. If it doesn't unroll easily, it's inside out — discard it and use a new one.
4. Pinch the tip — Squeeze the reservoir tip to expel air before rolling down.
5. Roll down fully — Unroll the condom all the way to the base of the penis.
6. After use — While still erect, hold the base and withdraw carefully. Wrap in a tissue and dispose in a bin — never flush.

Remember: Use a new condom every single time. Never reuse a condom.

Benzocaine is a topical local anaesthetic widely used in medicine and dentistry. In Durex Performa, it is coated at 5% concentration on the inner surface of the condom.

How It Works

When you wear Durex Performa, the Benzocaine contacts the inner penile skin and gradually blocks nerve signals in that area — mildly reducing sensitivity and delaying ejaculation. This lets you maintain intercourse longer before reaching climax.

Key Points to Know

• Benzocaine is on the inside only — it doesn't directly affect your partner's sensation, though slight transference may occur in some cases.
• No waiting time is needed — you can begin activity immediately after putting on the condom.
• Individual results vary.
• If you experience itching, burning, or redness, you may be allergic to Benzocaine — stop use immediately.

The 5% concentration of Benzocaine is considered safe for topical use and is approved by FDA Thailand for Durex condom products.

Before and during use of Durex Performa, be aware of the following precautions.

Who Should Avoid This Product

• Those with a latex allergy — choose polyurethane condoms instead.
• Those with a known allergy to Benzocaine or other local anaesthetics.

What to Avoid During Use

• Oil-based lubricants (baby oil, petroleum jelly, vegetable oil) — these degrade latex and increase the risk of breakage.
• Using two condoms at once — friction between layers increases breakage risk.
• Reusing a condom — it's designed for single use only.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place below 40°C, away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Don't keep in your wallet — pressure and heat degrade the latex over time.
• Keep away from sharp objects.

When to Stop Using Immediately

If you experience itching, burning, redness, swelling, or difficulty breathing after use, stop immediately and consult a doctor.

Yes, but with an important condition — the wrong type of lubricant can damage the Durex Performa condom.

Compatible Lubricants

• Water-based lubricants — Safest choice for Latex condoms. We recommend Durex Play Classic, a water-based gel designed to work with all Durex condoms.
• Silicone-based lubricants — Safe with Latex condoms, but avoid using with silicone sex toys.

Lubricants to Strictly Avoid

• Oil-based products such as baby oil, petroleum jelly, moisturising lotion, coconut oil, or any cooking/body oil.
• These degrade natural rubber latex and significantly increase the risk of the condom breaking during use.

Special Note for Durex Performa

Since Durex Performa has Benzocaine on the inside, adding an external lubricant on the outside of the condom does not affect the Benzocaine's effectiveness.
