B70. What guidance do staff need to give to their patients to limit the chance of condoms failing?

Memo to public health workers: A reminder about the safe and correct use of condoms.

A batch of Durex Real Feel condoms was recently recalled internationally because of their tendency to burst before their expiry date.

This has prompted a reminder about the safe use of condoms, including making sure you’re aware of the expiry date. As a product ages, it has a higher potential to fail, so it is important to always check the use-by date before using a condom and make sure you know how to use a condom correctly. Taking the right precautions will help manage the spread of disease and reduce the likelihood of unwanted consequences, such as pregnancy.

Durex Real Feel condoms from batch 1000432443 (expiry January 2021) should not be used. No other condoms are affected by this issue.
