EXS Condoms & Lubricants

Most people encounter EXS through their condoms, which is fair enough since that's the core of what the brand does. But the lineup goes further than a single shelf of latex. EXS produces condoms in a genuinely wide range of styles: ultra-thin variants for people who want maximum sensitivity, extra-safe options with added thickness, flavoured condoms for oral use, and delay condoms that contain a mild desensitising agent to help with stamina. That last category is one buyers often search for without knowing exactly what to call it, and EXS handles it well without overcomplicating the product.

The brand is based in the UK and has been supplying sexual health products to pharmacies, clinics, and retailers across Europe for a long time. That background in professional supply channels means their quality control is taken seriously. These aren't novelty products dressed up in flashy packaging, they're tested to the relevant European safety standards, which matters when you're buying something that needs to actually work.

EXS also produces personal lubricants, which pair naturally with their condom range. Water-based options are compatible with all condom materials and most sex toys, so if you're combining products, that's the safe default. Their lubricants tend to be unfussy, no unnecessary additives, decent consistency, and they don't dry out unusually fast.

Size matters more than most packaging admits. EXS offers standard fit and larger fit options, and getting this right affects both comfort and safety. A condom that's too tight is uncomfortable and more likely to break; one that's too loose can slip. If standard sizing has never felt quite right, it's worth trying a different fit rather than assuming all condoms feel the same.

For sensitivity, the ultra-thin range is the obvious starting point. EXS makes some of the thinner latex options available at this price point, and the difference is noticeable compared to standard-thickness alternatives. If latex sensitivity or allergy is a concern, check the product descriptions carefully, EXS's range is primarily latex-based, so people with latex allergies should look at polyurethane or polyisoprene alternatives from other brands.

Flavoured condoms are designed for oral sex, not penetrative use, the flavouring agents aren't meant to be used internally for extended periods. This is one of those details that doesn't always make it onto the packaging clearly, but it's worth knowing.

Delay condoms contain benzocaine, a topical anaesthetic, on the inside of the tip. They work by mildly reducing sensation for the wearer. The effect is real but subtle, don't expect a dramatic change, and give it a few minutes to take effect after putting the condom on. Some people find them genuinely useful; others don't notice much difference. It depends on individual sensitivity.

The lubricant range from EXS is straightforward, which is actually a selling point. A lot of lubricants on the market are loaded with glycerin, parabens, or flavouring agents that can cause irritation for some people. EXS keeps their formulations relatively clean, and their water-based options are a solid everyday choice.

Water-based lubricant is compatible with latex condoms and silicone sex toys. Silicone-based lubricant lasts longer and works better in water, but it degrades silicone toys over time and shouldn't be used with latex condoms from any brand. If you're using EXS condoms alongside a silicone toy, stick to water-based.

One thing worth knowing: water-based lubricants absorb into skin and dry out faster than silicone-based ones. For longer sessions, you'll need to reapply. That's not a flaw specific to EXS, it's just how water-based formulas work.

Condoms degrade faster than most people realise when stored badly. Heat, friction, and UV exposure all shorten the effective lifespan. Keeping them in a wallet for months is a genuinely bad idea, the constant pressure and body heat weaken the latex. A bedside drawer or a cool, dry place is fine. Check the expiry date before use; expired condoms are more likely to break.

Opening the wrapper with teeth or scissors risks nicking the condom. Use your fingers, tear from the notch, and check which way the condom rolls before putting it on, trying to unroll it the wrong way and then flipping it is a contamination risk. Leave a small space at the tip to collect ejaculate, and hold the base when withdrawing to prevent slipping.

None of this is complicated, but it's the kind of practical detail that actually affects how well the product works.

Yes. EXS condoms are manufactured to European safety standards (CE marked) and have been supplied to pharmacies and sexual health clinics for many years. They're a reliable mid-range option, not the cheapest on the market, but consistently well-made and tested properly.

EXS produces condoms in standard fit and larger fit sizes. The specific dimensions vary by product line, so check the individual product description for exact measurements. Getting the right fit is important for both comfort and effectiveness.

EXS water-based lubricants are safe to use with silicone sex toys and latex condoms. Avoid using silicone-based lubricants with silicone toys, as silicone degrades silicone over time. When in doubt, water-based is the compatible default for most combinations.

Orders are shipped in plain, unmarked packaging with no indication of the contents on the outside. Delivery is fast, and orders over a certain amount qualify for free shipping. You can find the current threshold at checkout. We also offer a 30-day return policy if something isn't right.

They work for many people, but the effect varies. EXS delay condoms use benzocaine, a mild topical anaesthetic, on the inside tip. It reduces sensation for the wearer rather than eliminating it. Give it a few minutes after putting the condom on before the effect kicks in. Some users find them genuinely helpful; others notice only a subtle difference. Individual sensitivity plays a big role.
