Durex is the trademarked name for a range of condoms that were made by United Kingdom-based SSL International. This company was sold to Reckitt Benckiser in July 2010.

The Durex range includes nine varieties of latex condom, including the Sheik and Ramses brands in North America,[1] and the Avanti condom. In 2006, Durex condoms was declared the runner-up of the most account sales of condoms in the United States, with Trojan condoms being no. 1.[2]

Although they were not an official sponsor of the Olympic Games, Durex provided 150,000 free condoms to more than 10,000 athletes that competed in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. [3]
