Availability update: Durex Extra Safe is no longer sold on Amazon in the US. If you liked it for its thicker, more lubricated build, the closest option on Amazon today is LifeStyles Tough Extra Strength, a thicker latex condom made for strength. The button on this page now goes to it.
Durex Extra Safe is a little thicker with more lubricant, for those who want added peace of mind. Pair with a condom-safe lube if you’d like even more glide. These latex condoms come in a pack of 24 and earn a 4.6-star average across roughly 6,200 ratings, which reflects how reassuring a lot of people find them.
The idea behind this one is straightforward: a slightly thicker latex wall and extra lubrication for those who simply feel more comfortable with a bit more between them and the moment. It’s a popular choice for anyone who wants confidence first, whether that’s during a new relationship, a casual encounter, or just because the extra reassurance helps you relax. Durex is one of the most established condom brands around, and Extra Safe is a long-running staple in its range.
- Material: latex
- Type: slightly thicker for added reassurance
- Count: 24 per pack
- Extra lubricant compared to standard condoms
Who it’s for
Extra Safe suits anyone who prioritizes peace of mind over an ultra-thin feel. If a thinner condom makes you anxious, the marginally thicker build here can help you stay present instead of worrying. Bear in mind these are latex, so they’re not suitable for anyone with a latex sensitivity — a non-latex option would be the better route there.
If you want extra slip, add a water- or silicone-based lubricant that’s safe with latex; avoid oil-based products, which can weaken it. New to using condoms or want a quick refresher?
