Durex Sensation - 52mm

Durex Sensation is a dotted condom from Durex, one of the world's leading condom brands, manufactured by Reckitt Benckiser (Thailand) Ltd. Made from high-quality Natural Rubber Latex, Durex Sensation features small raised dots distributed across the entire outer surface, designed to enhance stimulation and create a more exciting experience for couples.

Durex Sensation condoms are registered as a medical device with Thailand's Food and Drug Administration (FDA Thailand), registration number ผ.61/2546. They function as a physical barrier, preventing direct genital contact and the exchange of bodily fluids during sexual intercourse.

Durex Sensation condoms measure 52mm in width (flat) and come in a 3-pack per box. Every single condom is electronically tested to meet international standard ISO 4074, ensuring maximum safety. This makes them a popular choice for those seeking a condom that delivers enhanced sensation beyond a standard plain condom.

Durex Sensation condoms protect against two key risks: unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

1. Protection Against Unintended Pregnancy

When Durex Sensation condoms are used correctly and consistently every time during sexual intercourse, they are 98% effective at preventing pregnancy by physically blocking sperm from reaching the egg.

2. Protection Against STIs

Durex Sensation condoms significantly reduce the risk of transmitting and acquiring sexually transmitted infections, including:

• HIV/AIDS — greatly reduced risk when used correctly every time
• Syphilis — caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum
• Gonorrhea — a common bacterial infection
• Hepatitis B — a virus transmitted through bodily fluids
• Chlamydia — often asymptomatic bacterial infection

Note: Condoms significantly reduce risk but cannot provide 100% protection, particularly for skin-contact infections such as Herpes or HPV in areas not covered by the condom. Consistent condom use remains the most effective method for risk reduction.

Using Durex Sensation condoms correctly ensures maximum effectiveness both for protection and enhanced experience.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Check before use: Always check the expiry date (EXP) on the box and foil wrapper. Gently squeeze the wrapper to confirm air is inside, indicating it is intact.
2. Open carefully: Tear along the serrated edge of the wrapper. Never use teeth, scissors, or sharp objects, as these may damage the condom.
3. Identify the correct side: Place the condom on the tip of a fully erect penis, checking the roll direction before unrolling.
4. Pinch the tip: Squeeze the reservoir tip to expel air and create space for semen.
5. Roll down fully: Use your other hand to unroll the condom all the way down to the base of the penis.
6. Remove carefully: After ejaculation, while still erect, hold the base of the condom and withdraw. Tie the end to prevent spillage and dispose in a waste bin — never flush down the toilet.

Important Reminders

• Use a new condom every time — never reuse.
• If put on inside out, discard immediately and use a new one.
• Always put the condom on before any genital contact, not partway through.
• Wear throughout the entire sexual encounter until withdrawal.

The defining feature of Durex Sensation condoms is the dotted texture — small raised dots distributed across the entire outer surface, specifically designed to elevate the sexual experience.

How the Dots Work

The raised dots on Durex Sensation condoms are engineered to provide gentle additional friction during movement, which:

• Stimulates the partner: The dots create additional contact with the vaginal walls, stimulating nerve endings and enhancing pleasure for the receiving partner.
• Increases awareness for the wearer: While the dots face outward, they can still transmit some additional sensation back through the condom material.
• Creates novelty: An excellent option for couples wanting to try something different without additional accessories or devices.

Who Is It For?

Durex Sensation condoms are ideal for:

• Couples wanting to add excitement to their intimate life
• Those wishing to try a condom that offers more sensation than a plain variety
• Partners who desire enhanced physical stimulation

Texture preferences vary between individuals. Trying different styles helps you find what works best for you as a couple.

Although Durex Sensation condoms are highly safe and meet international standards, there are important precautions to be aware of before each use.

Do Not Use If:

• You have a latex allergy: Durex Sensation is made from natural rubber latex. Allergic reactions can range from redness, itching, and swelling to severe anaphylaxis. Choose Polyisoprene or Polyurethane condoms instead.
• The wrapper is damaged or torn: Never use a condom with a damaged wrapper — it may have degraded from light, air, or moisture exposure.
• The product is expired: Never use a condom past its expiry date (EXP). The latex may have deteriorated, increasing the risk of breakage.

Lubricants to Avoid

Do not use Durex Sensation with oil-based lubricants, including:

• Vaseline / petroleum jelly
• Baby oil
• Coconut oil
• Regular body lotion

These substances degrade the latex structure and can increase the risk of breakage by up to 90%. Only use water-based or silicone-based lubricants with latex condoms.

Storage Guidelines

• Store at temperatures below 40°C away from direct sunlight.
• Avoid storing in wallets or back pockets for extended periods — heat and pressure can degrade the latex.
• Always keep in the original sealed wrapper until use.

Durex offers multiple condom styles with different textures. Choosing the right one depends on each couple's preferences. Here is a comparison of Durex Sensation with other textured Durex condoms:

• Texture — Dots across entire surface — Ribbed texture — Dots + ribs + delay — Variety (multiple types)
• Stimulation — Primarily enhances partner's sensation — Stimulates both partners with ribs — Maximum stimulation + delay for wearer — Varied experiences in one box
• Lubricant — Standard lubricant — Standard lubricant — Delay lubricant included — Varies per condom
• Size — 52mm — 52mm — 52mm — 52mm
• Best for — Enhancing partner's pleasure — Mutual stimulation — Maximum stimulation + extended duration — Exploring different styles

If you are unsure which Durex condom is right for you, consider starting with Durex Explore — its variety pack lets you try multiple styles before committing to a specific type.

Yes — Durex Sensation condoms can be used with lubricant. In fact, adding extra lubricant can enhance comfort, reduce excessive friction, and even lower the risk of condom breakage.

Compatible Lubricants for Durex Sensation

• Water-based: Safest option for latex condoms. Easy to wash off, no residue. Examples include Durex Play Classic.
• Silicone-based: Lasts longer than water-based, ideal for use in water or when longer-lasting lubrication is needed.

Lubricants to Avoid

Never use oil-based lubricants — they will degrade the latex and dramatically increase the risk of breakage.

Recommended: Durex Play Classic

For a lubricant specifically designed to pair with Durex condoms, we recommend Durex Play Classic — a water-based gel that provides natural-feeling, safe, and non-irritating lubrication perfectly compatible with Durex Sensation.
