Does thicker mean less feeling?

Marginally — that's the deliberate trade for confidence. If sensation ranks higher for you, Thin Feel or Nude run the same protection standards in thinner material.

How should a condom fit?

Snug without strain — comfortable and secure, as Durex's fit guide puts it. If regular fit feels tight or loose, Durex makes narrower and wider fits; fit failures are the top cause of real-world condom failure.

How effective are condoms?

98% with perfect use, around 82% in typical real-world use — the gap is mostly late application and fit issues. They're also the only contraception that protects against STIs.

Safety information 1

Oil damages latex

Only water- or silicone-based lubricants with latex condoms — oils, lotions and petroleum jelly weaken latex. Check expiry dates; no method is 100% effective.

Product overview

About Durex Extra Safe

Durex Extra Safe is the reassurance condom: slightly thicker material with extra lubrication — engineered for people who want maximum-confidence protection without drama. The UK's default 'sensible choice' condom, teat-ended and easy-on shaped. 12 condoms.

Getting condoms right

Most real-world condom failures are human: on too late, wrong fit, oil-based lube with latex, expired date. Teat-ended and easy-on shaped, electronically tested — the engineering is done; the technique is yours. Water- or silicone-based lube only with latex.

Good to know

12 condoms per pack. Condoms are the only contraception that also protects against STIs — the reason they belong in the mix even alongside other methods.
