Durex is one of the most recognised condom brands in the world, yet many people in Pakistan still find it hard to tell its condoms apart. Extra Safe, Invisible, Thin Feel, Mutual Pleasure, Extended Pleasure: each name hints at a purpose, but none explains what actually changes from one box to the next.
This guide explains every Durex condom available at Jarahi, how they differ and who each one suits. By the end, you should know which one matches your priority, whether that is reassurance, a more natural feel, shared pleasure or lasting longer.
One point applies to every condom below. Durex condoms reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) when they are used correctly every time. Choosing between them is a question of comfort, feel and preference. It is not a choice between a “safe” and an “unsafe” option.
Which Durex Condom Should You Choose? The Quick Answer
| If you want… | Consider | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Extra reassurance and comfort | Durex Extra Safe | Slightly thicker latex with extra lubrication |
| A more natural feel in a regular fit | Durex Thin Feel | Thinner-than-standard latex, regular 56mm fit |
| The thinnest Durex condom | Durex Invisible Extra Sensitive | The thinnest condom Durex has developed, with a closer 52mm fit |
| To last longer | Durex Extended Pleasure | Smooth condom with a 5% benzocaine lubricant inside the tip |
| Stimulation for both partners, plus lasting longer | Durex Mutual Pleasure | Ribbed and dotted exterior with the same delay lubricant |
| To try several before deciding | Durex Variety Pack | Three each of all five Durex condoms |

How Durex Condoms Differ: What Actually Changes
Every Durex condom sold at Jarahi is made from natural rubber latex, is electronically tested, and is manufactured to ISO 4074, the international quality standard for male latex condoms. The differences between them come down to four things.
- Thickness: Thinner latex lets more warmth and sensation through. Slightly thicker latex gives some people more confidence.
- Fit: Condom size is described by “nominal width”, the width of the condom when laid flat. Most Durex condoms here have a regular 56mm width; Durex Invisible has a closer 52mm width. A condom that fits well is more comfortable and less likely to slip.
- Lubricant: All Durex condoms come pre-lubricated. Some have extra lubricant, and two contain a lubricant with benzocaine to help the wearer last longer.
- Texture: Most are smooth. Durex Mutual Pleasure is ribbed and dotted.
Regular, Thin, Ribbed, Dotted and Delay Condoms Explained
- Regular condoms have a standard wall thickness and smooth surface. They are the baseline that other types are compared against.
- Thin condoms use thinner latex for a more natural feel. Durex Thin Feel and Durex Invisible are thin condoms.
- Ribbed condoms have raised rings around the shaft, and dotted condoms have small raised dots. Both are designed to add stimulation for the receiving partner. Durex Mutual Pleasure combines ribs and dots.
- Delay condoms contain a mild local anaesthetic, usually benzocaine, inside the tip to reduce sensitivity for the wearer. Durex Extended Pleasure and Durex Mutual Pleasure are delay condoms.
What does not change is the role of correct use. The way a condom is stored, opened, put on and removed has far more effect on protection than the variant you choose.
Durex Extra Safe: For Extra Reassurance
Durex Extra Safe is slightly thicker than standard Durex condoms and comes with extra silicone-based lubricant. It has Durex’s easy-on, teat-ended shape (a small reservoir at the tip) and a regular 56mm fit.
Who it suits:
- People who want added peace of mind, including first-time condom users
- Couples who find extra lubrication more comfortable
- Anyone who prefers a slightly more substantial feel
What to keep in mind: “Extra Safe” describes the design intent, which is reassurance. It does not mean other Durex condoms are less protective. All Durex condoms meet the same quality standard, and a thicker condom still depends on correct use.
Explore Durex Extra Safe (12-piece box), or start with the 3-piece pack.
Durex Thin Feel and Invisible: For a More Natural Feel
Thin condoms are designed to let more warmth and sensation pass through, so intimacy feels closer to no barrier at all. Durex offers two levels of thinness at Jarahi.
Durex Thin Feel
Durex Thin Feel uses thinner-than-standard latex while keeping Durex’s regular 56mm fit and easy-on shape. It is pre-lubricated with silicone-based lubricant.
It suits people who want more sensitivity without changing the fit they are already comfortable with.
Durex Invisible Extra Sensitive
Durex Invisible Extra Sensitive is the thinnest condom Durex has developed. It has a straight-walled, teat-ended shape and a closer 52mm fit.
It suits people who want the most natural feel in the Durex range, and those who find regular-fit condoms slightly loose. If regular-fit condoms already feel snug, Thin Feel may be more comfortable.
Are Thin Condoms Less Safe?
No. Thin condoms such as Durex Invisible are tested to the same ISO 4074 standard as thicker ones. Thinness changes how a condom feels, not the standard it is built to.
The factors that actually raise the risk of a condom breaking or slipping are:
- Using oil-based products such as petroleum jelly, baby oil or coconut oil with latex
- Using a condom past its expiry date, or one that has been stored in heat
- Not enough lubrication, which increases friction
- Opening the wrapper with teeth or sharp objects
- A poor fit, or using two condoms at once
Durex Thin Feel vs Durex Invisible
| Feature | Durex Thin Feel | Durex Invisible Extra Sensitive |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness | Thinner than standard | Thinnest Durex condom |
| Fit (nominal width) | Regular, 56mm | Closer, 52mm |
| Shape | Easy-on, teat-ended | Straight-walled, teat-ended |
| Best for | More sensitivity in a familiar fit | Maximum sensitivity and a closer fit |
Durex Extra Safe vs Durex Invisible: What Is the Difference?
These two sit at opposite ends of the Durex range. Extra Safe is slightly thicker with extra lubrication, designed for reassurance. Invisible is the thinnest Durex condom, designed for sensation.
| Feature | Durex Extra Safe | Durex Invisible Extra Sensitive |
|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Reassurance and comfort | Sensitivity and a natural feel |
| Thickness | Slightly thicker than standard | Thinnest Durex condom |
| Lubrication | Extra silicone-based lubricant | Pre-lubricated |
| Fit (nominal width) | Regular, 56mm | Closer, 52mm |
| Quality standard | ISO 4074, electronically tested | ISO 4074, electronically tested |
Both provide the protection you would expect from a Durex latex condom when used correctly. Choose Extra Safe if confidence matters most; choose Invisible if feel matters most. If you are unsure, the Durex Variety Pack includes both, so you can compare them yourself.
Durex Mutual Pleasure: Designed for Both Partners
Durex Mutual Pleasure combines two features in one condom:
- A ribbed and dotted exterior, designed to add stimulation for the receiving partner
- Performa lubricant inside the tip, a silicone lubricant containing 5% benzocaine that helps the wearer delay climax
The idea is to help both partners stay more in sync. It has a regular 56mm fit and an easy-on, teat-ended shape.
Who it suits: couples who want to enhance the experience for both people at once. Texture is personal: some people find ribs and dots noticeably more stimulating, while others prefer a smooth condom. Because Mutual Pleasure contains benzocaine, the precautions in the next section apply to it as well.
Explore Durex Mutual Pleasure (12-piece box) or the 3-piece pack.
Durex Extended Pleasure: For Lasting Longer
Durex Extended Pleasure is a smooth, regular-fit latex condom with Performa lubricant inside the tip. Performa is a silicone-based lubricant containing 5% benzocaine.
How Durex Delay Condoms Work
Benzocaine is a mild local anaesthetic, from the same family of ingredients used in numbing gels. Inside the condom, it gently reduces sensitivity at the tip of the penis, which can help the wearer delay ejaculation. How well it works, and how quickly, varies from person to person.
Precautions for Benzocaine Condoms
- Do not use them if you or your partner are allergic to benzocaine, other local anaesthetics or natural rubber latex.
- For some people, the lubricant can cause a rash, irritation, burning or itching. If this happens, stop using them.
- Keep the lubricant away from the eyes, and wash it off after use.
- Some lubricant can reach a partner’s skin and cause mild, temporary numbness. Stop use if either partner is uncomfortable.
- Do not use them if either partner has inflamed or broken skin.
An important note: delay condoms are not a treatment for premature ejaculation. If finishing earlier than you would like happens regularly, it is common and treatable, and a doctor can help.
Extended Pleasure vs Mutual Pleasure
Both use the same 5% benzocaine Performa lubricant. The difference is the outside: Extended Pleasure is smooth, while Mutual Pleasure is ribbed and dotted. Choose Extended Pleasure if the main goal is lasting longer; choose Mutual Pleasure if you also want added texture for your partner.
Explore Durex Extended Pleasure (12-piece box) or the 3-piece pack.
Durex Condoms Compared: Side-by-Side Table
| Condom | Feel | Fit | Texture | Benzocaine | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Extra Safe | Slightly thicker, extra lubricated | Regular, 56mm | Smooth | No | Reassurance and comfort |
| Thin Feel | Thinner than standard | Regular, 56mm | Smooth | No | A more natural feel in a familiar fit |
| Invisible Extra Sensitive | Thinnest Durex condom | Closer, 52mm | Smooth | No | Maximum sensitivity |
| Extended Pleasure | Regular thickness | Regular, 56mm | Smooth | Yes, 5% | Lasting longer |
| Mutual Pleasure | Regular thickness | Regular, 56mm | Ribbed and dotted | Yes, 5% | Shared pleasure and lasting longer |
Each condom is available in a 3-piece pack and a 12-piece box in the Durex range at Jarahi.
Using a Lubricant with Durex Condoms
Every Durex condom is already lubricated, but extra lubricant can make sex more comfortable and reduces the friction that can contribute to a condom tearing. The key rules are simple:
- Use water-based or silicone-based lubricant only. Both are safe with latex condoms.
- Never use oils such as petroleum jelly, baby oil, coconut oil or body lotion. Oils weaken latex and raise the risk of breakage.
- Put the condom on first, then apply lubricant to the outside. Lubricant inside the condom can make it slip.
All four Durex Play gels at Jarahi are water-based and compatible with every Durex condom in this guide. Some natural pairings:
- Comfort first: Durex Extra Safe, Thin Feel or Invisible with Durex Play Massage 2-in-1
- Lasting longer, with warmth: Durex Extended Pleasure or Mutual Pleasure with Durex Play Warming
- Something new: any Durex condom with Durex Play Tingle or Play Very Cherry

How to Use Durex Condoms Correctly
Correct use matters more than which condom you choose. Follow these steps every time:
- Check the expiry date on the wrapper. Do not use an expired condom or one with a damaged wrapper.
- Open the wrapper carefully from the notched edge. Avoid teeth, nails, scissors or sharp objects.
- Check the condom is the right way up, with the rolled rim facing outward.
- Pinch the tip to squeeze out air, then roll the condom all the way down to the base of the erect penis before any sexual contact.
- After sex, hold the condom at the base while withdrawing.
- Wrap the used condom in tissue and put it in a bin. Do not flush it.
- Use a new condom every time, and never wear two at once.
Storage and Expiry
Heat damages latex. Store condoms in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. In Pakistan’s summer months, avoid leaving them in a car, and do not carry them in a wallet or tight pocket for long periods.
Condoms also do not cover every area of skin, so some infections that spread through skin-to-skin contact can still pass between partners. Regular sexual health check-ups remain worthwhile.
When to Speak to a Doctor
- You or your partner develop itching, burning, a rash or swelling after using a condom. This could indicate a latex or benzocaine sensitivity.
- You suspect a latex allergy and need advice on non-latex alternatives.
- A condom breaks or slips off. Speak to a doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible about emergency contraception and testing, as timing matters.
- Early ejaculation is a regular concern.

Frequently Asked Questions – (FAQs)
Which Durex condom is best?
There is no single best Durex condom; it depends on your priority. Durex Extra Safe suits people who want reassurance, Durex Invisible suits those who want maximum sensitivity, Durex Extended Pleasure helps the wearer last longer, and Durex Mutual Pleasure adds texture for the partner as well as a delay lubricant. All meet the same ISO 4074 quality standard.
What is the difference between Durex Extra Safe and Durex Invisible?
Durex Extra Safe is slightly thicker than standard, with extra lubrication and a regular 56mm fit, designed for reassurance. Durex Invisible is the thinnest Durex condom, with a closer 52mm fit, designed for sensitivity. Both offer Durex protection when used correctly.
Are ultra-thin condoms like Durex Invisible less safe?
No. Durex Invisible is tested to the same ISO 4074 standard as thicker Durex condoms. Breakage is more often linked to incorrect use, oil-based lubricants, expired condoms or heat damage than to thinness.
How do Durex delay condoms work?
Durex Extended Pleasure and Mutual Pleasure contain Performa lubricant with 5% benzocaine, a mild local anaesthetic, inside the tip. It reduces sensitivity for the wearer, which can help delay ejaculation. Results vary, and they are not a medical treatment for premature ejaculation.
What is the difference between Durex Thin Feel and Durex Invisible?
Both are thin condoms designed for a more natural feel. Durex Invisible is the thinnest Durex condom and has a closer 52mm fit. Durex Thin Feel is thinner than standard but keeps the regular 56mm fit.
Can I use lubricant with Durex condoms?
Yes. Water-based and silicone-based lubricants are safe with Durex latex condoms; apply them to the outside of the condom after putting it on. Never use oil-based products such as petroleum jelly or coconut oil, as they weaken latex.
Conclusion
Choosing a Durex condom becomes simple once you know what changes between them: thickness, fit, lubricant and texture. Extra Safe offers reassurance, Thin Feel and Invisible offer a more natural feel, Extended Pleasure helps the wearer last longer, and Mutual Pleasure is designed with both partners in mind.
Whichever you choose, correct use, proper storage and checking the expiry date matter most.
