Durex

Durex represents over a century of innovation in intimate protection and well-being, with clinically tested products recognized by healthcare professionals around the world.

The history of Durex

Durex was founded in 1915 in England by the London Rubber Company. The name is an acronym for Durability, Reliability, Excellence—three commitments that still guide every product in the range today. Starting in the 1950s, the brand introduced the first lubricated condom, followed by a series of patents: electronically tested latex, anatomical shapes, and sensitive textures. In 2010, Reckitt acquired Durex and accelerated its internationalization, making the brand the undisputed global leader with over 35% market share in several European countries.

Durex's DNA is built on a demand for reliability: every condom undergoes an individual electronic test before being marketed, and the brand invests heavily in R&D to reduce latex thickness without compromising strength. It is this balance between safety and sensation that explains the loyalty of millions of users for over a century. Today, the range extends far beyond the classic condom, with intimate lubricants specifically designed to be compatible with latex.
