Are the condoms on sale close to their expiration date?

No, the condoms available at Condoms.uk are not near their expiration date. We ensure that all condoms we stock, including popular brands like Durex, Mates, EXS, and SKYN, have plenty of time left before expiration. Each product is carefully sourced and inspected to ensure freshness, providing you with reliable protection.

Most condoms, whether they are latex condoms, polyurethane condoms, or polyisoprene condoms, have a shelf life of up to five years. This can be shorter for special condoms, like flavoured condoms or spermicide-coated varieties, but we only offer condoms with a long and safe usage window. Always check the packaging for the specific expiration date to guarantee optimal performance. At Condoms.uk, we are committed to providing top-quality condoms with the best possible shelf life for your peace of mind.

Are the condoms on sale still covered by the manufacturer's guarantee?

Yes, all condoms available for purchase at Condoms.uk are genuine products and are covered by the manufacturer's guarantee, provided they are within their expiration date and have been stored correctly. We offer a wide selection of reputable brands, including Durex condoms, Pasante condoms, and Skyn condoms, ensuring that you receive high-quality products designed to provide effective protection against pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.

When purchasing condoms, it’s essential to check the packaging for the manufacturer's guarantee, as this typically indicates their commitment to quality. For instance, Durex condoms, such as Durex Extra Safe and Durex Thin Feel, are manufactured with stringent quality control standards. If you have any issues with your purchase, please refer to the specific brand's guarantee policy for assistance.

Remember, proper storage is key to maintaining the integrity of your condoms. Always keep them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and avoid keeping them in wallets or pockets for extended periods.

Are condoms made of latex?

Yes, most condoms are made of latex, which is a highly elastic and durable material that provides effective protection against pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. Latex condoms, such as those from Durex, are widely available and come in various options, including Durex extra safe condoms and Durex ultra thin condoms, to enhance sensitivity while maintaining safety.

However, for those with latex allergies or sensitivities, there are non-latex alternatives available. These include condoms made from materials like polyurethane or polyisoprene, which are equally effective in preventing pregnancy and STIs. Non-latex condoms are also compatible with all types of lubricants, unlike latex condoms, which should only be used with water-based or silicone-based lubes to prevent breakage.

If you’re looking for added pleasure, consider trying Durex pleasure rings or Durex lubricants, which can enhance the experience while using condoms. Always check the packaging for specific instructions and compatibility to ensure the best experience.

Are condoms 100% effective?

No, condoms are not 100% effective, but they are one of the most reliable contraceptive methods available. When used correctly, condoms are approximately 98% effective at preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. This means that while they significantly reduce the risk, there is still a small chance of failure.

It’s important to use condoms properly to maximize their effectiveness. This includes checking the expiration date, storing them correctly, and ensuring you’re using the right size. Brands like Durex offer a range of options, including Durex extra safe condoms and Durex ultra thin condoms, designed to provide both safety and comfort.

For those seeking additional protection, using condoms in combination with other contraceptive methods can further reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy. Remember, the only 100% effective way to avoid pregnancy and STIs is through abstinence. Enjoying your intimate experience with condoms is a great way to protect yourself and your partner.

Can condoms break?

Yes, while condoms are designed to be strong and reliable, they can sometimes break or fail. Common reasons for condom breakage include:

  • Improper Storage: Condoms should be stored in a cool, dry place. Exposure to heat or sunlight can weaken the material, increasing the risk of breakage.
  • Expiration: Using condoms past their expiration date can lead to deterioration. Always check the expiration date printed on the packaging.
  • Incorrect Use: Not following the proper application steps, such as using the wrong side or not pinching the tip, can result in breakage. Ensure you roll the condom down correctly and avoid using sharp objects to open the package.
  • Size Issues: Using a condom that is too small or too large can also lead to breakage. Make sure to select the appropriate size; brands like Durex offer a range of sizes, including Durex close fit and Durex XXL, to ensure a secure fit.
  • Lubrication Problems: Using the wrong type of lubricant can damage latex condoms. Only use water-based or silicone-based lubricants with latex condoms. Oil-based lubricants can weaken them.

To minimise the risk of breakage, always use genuine condoms from reputable brands like Durex or Pasante, and follow the usage guidelines carefully. If a condom does break, it’s important to consider emergency contraception and get tested for sexually transmitted infections.
