Best Condoms for Long Lasting Sex In 2023

This offering from Durex gives you a fantastic balance between comfort, reduced sensitivity, and performance. The 5% benzocaine solution has a slight numbing effect that makes you less sensitive, delaying ejaculation. 

They’re also reasonably thick, at 70 microns. Thin enough that you still get the close, intimate feeling, but just thick enough to help you slow down a bit more. 

And to go with it, the ribs and dots are stimulating for your partner, so she can climax faster while you’re slowed down. Making it easier for you to meet in the middle, so to speak. 

If you want to maximize the length and quality of your performance, this is the condom for you.

If you like the benzocaine but want something a bit thinner than the Prolong, try these. They have the same desensitizing effect to help you last longer and the same ribs and dots for mutual enjoyment, but these condoms have been on a diet. 

At a beautifully svelte 56 microns thick, they can be so comfortable you might forget you have one on! Seriously, I had to stop and check a few times.

The combination of thinness and ribs mean that if you’re extremely sensitive, the delaying effect might not slow you down enough. 

But for most guys who just want a little extra time to do their thing, the Performax Intense are the best benzocaine condoms out there.

What I really like about these condoms is they keep it simple. They’re exactly like a normal condom, but with a 4% benzocaine lube that numbs the perfect amount to slow you down without grinding to a halt. 

Trojan really nailed the lube on both sides with these. The external lubricant they have on the other side of the condoms is great – silky smooth, slippery, and better-smelling than most condom lube. 

So, if you’re on the girthier side, you might find them a bit tight, which can increase the numbing sensation. That can be good or bad, depending on what you’re looking for. 

If you’re looking for all the benefits of climax control with a more snug fit, grab a box of these right now.

I don’t think it’s possible to break one of these unless you’re trying to do so. Seriously, these Lifestyles Extra Strength aren’t kidding – I think they might be bulletproof. 

That thickness and strength mean they’re safe to be used for anal sex, which is more than can be said for most condoms. So if that’s something you do regularly, these are a worthy investment. 

The thickness should help slow you down even WITHOUT the help of benzocaine, so these are great for guys who don’t like the numbing sensation. 

I wouldn’t recommend these to larger guys as the tough latex makes them less stretchy than thinner rubbers. They’ll fit most penises, but they might get uncomfortable at the bigger end of things. 

You should also pick up some lube if you’re doing anal. Never shove it in dry, my dudes. 

---

If you’re more concerned about safety than going for a sex marathon, then these simple yet effective condoms might be your best bet. 

They’re exactly like ordinary condoms, just thicker and better lubricated. That makes them better suited for anal or sensitive penises if you don’t like the feeling of benzocaine. 

Like most Durex condoms, they don’t have that condom smell as much as most other manufacturers, which is a nice touch. 

And the extra lube is great – very comfortable and enjoyable to use. 

These are great condoms for people who like to keep things nice and straightforward. Just slip one on and get going, no extra fuss. 

---

If you want to go for hours without finishing, these Durex Extended Pleasure condoms are outstanding. 5% benzocaine lubricant contained in the tip desensitizes the head of the penis to delay ejaculation, making them highly effective for slowing you down. 

They’re also average thickness for a condom, so you can still feel the normal sensations further down. And there’s NO TEXTURE, making for a smoother experience that many couples prefer over the ribs and dots. 

If you don’t have any issue with PE, though, they might be stronger than you think. Not everyone likes the reduced sensation, so if you’re unsure, you might be better off starting with a thicker condom and seeing if that works best for your needs.

Finding the Best Condoms to Last Longer: A Buying Guide

What should you look for when buying condoms to help you last longer? 

Materials

Most long-lasting condoms are made of natural rubber latex, including all the condoms on this list. Latex is a fine material for condoms as it’s stretchy, doesn’t allow anything to get through, and is durable. 

---

Allergies

It’s important to be aware of any allergies you or your partner might have. In particular, latex can cause itching or even a full allergic reaction for some people. If that applies to you or your partner, obviously, DON’T use latex condoms.

---

Size

Condoms are not one size fits all. Check your own size and see what fits you best, ideally before you start having sex. It’s not very enjoyable or safe to use an ill-fitting condom.

Fits are usually similar within the same brand, so Durex condoms are generally the same shape unless they say otherwise. But they’ll fit differently to, say, Trojan. 

If you don’t know what size condom you need, check out our recommendations for small to biggest condoms to help you choose the right condom size for you.

---

Benzocaine Content

Benzocaine is one of the most effective ways to delay ejaculation safely, so if that’s your goal, it’s worth trying. Consider your own sensitivity and test out different strengths. 5% might make you too numb for your taste, while 4% might not be enough for other penises. 

---

Texture

Many condoms are ribbed or dotted, or both. Some women prefer this to the ordinary smooth shape as the extra texture can feel better. It can also be more stimulating for you if you have reduced sensitivity to benzocaine. 

---

Budget

$1 per condom is a decent yardstick to measure from. Most condoms are near enough to this price unless you’re buying in bulk. The more you buy at once, the lower the price – but condoms have an expiry date, so make sure you’re likely to use them all to avoid wasting your money. 

And remember – if you think condoms are expensive, they are much cheaper than having a baby!

FAQ

All the most common questions about long-lasting condoms. 

How do delay condoms work?

Delay condoms often work by having benzocaine lubricant on the inside, which has a slight numbing effect that makes the penis less sensitive. This reduces the stimulation you feel, slowing down ejaculation. 

Other delay condoms are just thicker than regular, which also reduces stimulation, though not as much. 

The most effective delay condoms use BOTH tactics to slow you down.

Are climax control condoms safe and effective?

ABSOLUTELY! Most of them are just as safe and effective at preventing pregnancy and STIs as any other condom, or even more so because of the thickness boost. 

As to whether they’re effective at controlling your climax, that’s a more personal matter. But they’re certainly more effective than no climax control method. 

---

What are the best condom brands for long-lasting sex?

Durex and Trojan have the most options when it comes to lasting longer, but they’re not the only names in the business. Other less well-known brands can be effective for helping you last longer and are often cheaper. On the other hand, they might not be as rigorously tested. 

---

Will a thicker condom help me last longer?

Normally, yes. A thicker condom will reduce the sensation you feel from having sex, making you less likely to get overstimulated or reach climax quickly. If you have difficulties with PE, they might not be enough, but they’re a good start! 

---

Should I use benzocaine condoms to prevent premature ejaculation?

Benzocaine can be very useful for preventing premature ejaculation. The numbing effect reduces sensitivity, making it more difficult to build up the necessary stimulation to achieve climax. That makes it ideal for some people who have trouble controlling their ejaculation. 

---

Why do condoms break?

Condoms nearly always break because of user error – either they were put on wrong or aren’t being used properly.

For example, a common mistake people make is forcing all the air out of the condom, including the reservoir in the tip that is meant to collect ejaculatory fluids. Without this, the pressure can cause the condom to split.

Other common mistakes include not having adequate lubrication or using oil-based lubes. Very rarely, condoms can break due to manufacturing problems – but this is very unlikely if you’re buying from a trusted manufacturer. 

---

What should I do if I’m allergic to latex?

If you’re allergic to latex, you can buy benzocaine wipes or cream that numbs the penis in the same way as climax control condoms do. You have to apply it to yourself, making it a bit more work, but the upside is you control exactly how much benzocaine you apply to yourself. 

Once you’ve applied benzocaine, you can use a non-latex condom, like polyurethane or polyisoprene.

Final Thoughts

If you’re more of a sprinter than a long-distance performer, help is at hand! Just equip yourself with the right condoms and watch yourself go from Usain Bolt to Eliud Kipchoge!

Huh. I wonder which of them lasts longer in the bedroom?
