History of Durex
Durex, a contraction of "Durability, Reliability, Excellence", was founded in 1929 in London by the London Rubber Company. It is today the world's best-known sexual health brand, present in over 150 countries. Durex's history is inseparable from that of the modern condom: the company pioneered the industrial production of latex condoms, contributing massively to global public health throughout the twentieth century. Over the decades, Durex has expanded its offering well beyond condoms, developing a complete range of lubricants (Durex Play), vibrators and intimate accessories designed for mainstream consumers. The brand now belongs to the Reckitt Benckiser group, a consumer goods giant, giving it unmatched distribution power and marketing reach. This retail presence is a unique asset: Durex is often the first sex toy brand a person discovers, simply while doing their regular shopping at a supermarket or pharmacy. The company invests heavily in research and sexual health awareness campaigns, collaborating with NGOs and medical institutions worldwide. In Switzerland, Durex enjoys near-universal brand recognition, making it a trusted starting point for many consumers exploring intimate wellness products for the first time.
Our detailed review of Durex
Durex holds a unique position on the Swiss market: it is the most accessible sex toy brand in the literal sense. Available in supermarkets, pharmacies and online, it is often consumers' first contact with intimate products. The Play range comprises lubricants, compact vibrators and vibrating rings. Durex Play lubricants are competent without being exceptional. Play Feel, water-based, fulfils its function but lacks the refinement of a Pjur. Play Massage 2-in-1 is a good concept, though the texture remains a compromise between both uses. The range's vibrators are honest entry-level products. The Play Pure Fantasy, for instance, delivers satisfactory vibrations for a first purchase but cannot rival a Satisfyer or We-Vibe in terms of power and subtlety. In Switzerland, Durex prices are highly competitive: CHF 10 to 40 for most products. This is a deliberate entry-level positioning. Durex's main advantage is trust: a brand everyone knows, with pharmaceutical safety standards. The disadvantage is that products lack innovation and character compared to specialists. Durex Play is recommended for absolute beginners or as an impulse purchase, but discerning users will naturally migrate toward specialised brands.

Durex competes on the Swiss market against strong rivals. With a score of 7.5/10, the brand stands out for its value for money. Compared to alternatives available on KissKiss.ch, Durex offers a value proposition that makes it a versatile choice for Swiss consumers.
