Durex Extended Pleasure 3s (Benzocaine Lubricated Condoms)

Quick Answer: Durex Extended Pleasure 3s is a pack of 3 natural rubber latex condoms internally lubricated with benzocaine, a mild anesthetic that helps delay climax for longer-lasting intimacy. It is used for contraception and STI protection during sex and is placed on an erect penis before intercourse. Made by Reckitt Benckiser, it is an over-the-counter product that does not require a prescription. Indicative price is around Rs. 650 per pack at Dawa Healthcare in Pakistan; check the price shown above for the current rate.

Durex Extended Pleasure condoms are made from high-quality natural rubber latex and internally lubricated with benzocaine, a topical numbing agent that reduces sensitivity to help delay ejaculation, while still providing standard barrier protection against unintended pregnancy and STIs. On Dawa Healthcare, this exact formula is listed under the name Durex Perfoma 3s, Durex's product name for its benzocaine delay condom range, so the two names refer to the same item.

📋 Product Specifications

How Durex Extended Pleasure Works

The benzocaine lubricant coats the inside of the condom and creates a mild numbing effect on contact, reducing sensitivity just enough to help delay climax without removing sensation entirely. Combined with the latex barrier, this allows for longer-lasting intercourse while still providing standard contraceptive and STI protection.

Durex Extended Pleasure Uses

Durex Extended Pleasure 3s is used for:

•          Delayed Climax: benzocaine lubricant helps prolong intercourse for both partners

•          Contraception: latex barrier helps prevent unintended pregnancy when used correctly

•          STI Protection: reduces the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections during sex

This product does not protect against STIs transmitted through skin-to-skin contact outside the area the condom covers, and is not a substitute for other contraception if a latex or benzocaine sensitivity is a concern.

Who Should Use Durex Extended Pleasure

Durex Extended Pleasure suits sexually active adults seeking contraception and STI protection along with a delay effect for longer-lasting intercourse, provided neither partner has a latex or benzocaine allergy. This 3s pack suits first-time buyers trying the formula before committing to a larger pack.

🚫 Who Should Avoid It

Avoid this product, or use a non-latex alternative, if you or your partner have a known allergy to natural rubber latex or to benzocaine and similar local anesthetics. Stop use and seek medical advice if you notice unusual irritation, swelling, or a rash.

Can It Be Taken Long Term?

Yes, Durex Extended Pleasure condoms are intended for regular, ongoing use with a new condom for every act of intercourse. Do not reuse a condom, and check the expiry date printed on the individual wrapper before use.

💉 How to Use Durex Extended Pleasure (Application)

Carefully tear open the individual foil pack along the serrated edge, avoiding scissors, teeth, or fingernails, which can damage the latex. Handle the condom with clean, dry hands.

Place the rolled condom on the tip of an erect penis with the rolled edge facing outward, pinch the tip to remove air, and roll it down completely to the base before any genital contact.

After ejaculation, hold the base while withdrawing to prevent slipping, then remove and dispose of it in household waste, not the toilet. Use a new condom for each act of intercourse, and only use water- or silicone-based lubricants, since oil-based products can weaken latex.

⚠️ Side Effects: What to Expect

Common effects include mild irritation or dryness at the application site, which usually resolves after use. Less common effects include allergic reactions to latex or benzocaine, such as redness, itching, or swelling. Seek medical help if you experience severe discomfort, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face or throat.

🛡️ Precautions and Drug Interactions

•          Storage: keep away from sharp objects, heat, and direct sunlight, and check the expiry date before use, since degraded latex tears more easily

•          Lubricants: use only water- or silicone-based products; oil-based lubricants weaken latex

•          Double Use: do not use two condoms together, as friction between them can cause both to fail

If you or your partner are trying to conceive, or need protection against STIs specifically, discuss the right method with a doctor or pharmacist.

❄️ Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and sharp objects; extreme temperatures can weaken the latex. Check the expiry date on each wrapper before use, and avoid carrying a condom loose in a wallet or pocket for extended periods, since friction and heat can damage it.

Durex Extended Pleasure 3s and 12s use the same benzocaine delay lubricant in different pack sizes; the 3s pack suits trying the formula before committing to the larger pack.

Your choice depends on whether delaying climax or maximizing sensation matters more to you.

Larger pack: Durex Extended Pleasure 12s. Alternatives without the delay lubricant: Durex Extra Safe 3s and Durex Invisible 3s.
