Durex Condoms and Personal Lubricants

Durex is one of the world's most recognizable brands in the sexual well-being sector, primarily known for its extensive range of latex and non-latex condoms, as well as personal lubricants and massage gels. The brand name is an acronym for 'Durability, Reliability, and Excellence,' reflecting its historical focus on quality standards within the contraceptive industry.

While the brand originated in the United Kingdom under the London Rubber Company, its manufacturing footprint is now global to meet international demand. Major production facilities are located in countries such as Thailand, China, India, and Malaysia, which are strategically positioned near natural rubber latex sources. This global supply chain ensures that Durex products are available in nearly every major market worldwide.

Ownership of Durex has transitioned through several major corporate hands over the decades. After being a flagship brand for the British company SSL International for many years, it was acquired in 2010 by Reckitt (formerly Reckitt Benckiser). As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, Reckitt remains the ultimate owner, managing Durex as a core part of its global health and hygiene portfolio alongside other major household names.
