Following the show last Monday, I have had some very interesting feedback particularly re the Condom info and facts so, I thought I’d put them all up on the blog so you can read at your own leisure (or not lol)
During the show, we looked at the history of Durex:
- 1929 Durex is born and stands for Durability, Reliablity and EXcellence.
- 1930’s launch of latex. Prior to this, condoms were imported. Durex started manufacturing condoms using the latest dipping technology.
- 1953 Quality control. Durex focused on the R for reliability – they introduced electronic testing for every condom
- 1969 Shaping up. Durex pushed boundaries and developed condoms that were shaped more towards the shape of a man’s penis!
- 1974 Lubing up. Durex introduced the addition of spermicidal lubricant.
- 2000 Pleasuremax, the first textured condom designed to stimulate both man and women was introduced.
- 2008 In response to the shocking statistic that only 1 in 3 women always or almost always orgasm, Durex brought Play O an orgasm enhancing gel that makes you super sensitive!!!
- 2009 New play vibration twinkle introduced…love toy (work it out).
*******************************************************************
We also looked at some of the Durex condom choices:
- Pleasuremax – ribs / dots for extra stimulation
- Extra Safe - slightly thicker with extra lube
- Tingle – coated with tingly lube for extra thrill
- Fetherlite - for that natural feel
*************************************************************
We also discussed a few things that needed to be bared in mind when using condoms:
- Condoms are 98% effective when used properly
- Careful not to tear with fingernails
- STis can be passed though touch as well so get that condom on asap
- Ensure teat is squeezed so no air gets locked inside
- Keep squeezing as you roll the condom down
- Finally, after all is said and done, get rid!!!
*********************************************************************
And finally, we looked at some fast facts about condoms…
- Much of the technology used by condom manufacturers today was invented by Japanese companies.
- It is believed that the condom was invented in ancient Egypt where tribesmen wore cylindrical sacks to protect their members from insect bites.
- 15th Century Italian anatomist Gabriele Falloppio documented his method of wrapping the penis with linen sheaths to prevent syphilis.

So there you have it…big shouts to Henri for his input in the show and remember you can join me every MONDAY at 9pm for another instalment of the Women’s Health & Lifestyle show on Bang103.6FM

Go Durex Pleasure max. Ribs and dots rock. This condom alone made 2000 a great year.
