Review: Durex Love Box

I bought Waz and I a Durex Love Box each a few weeks ago. Since then, they've become a staple in our bags. We don't use condoms together but do so religiously when sleeping with others outside our relationship, both for STI protection and an extra layer of pregnancy protection.

We're not especially loyal to any one brand of condom, preferring to buy whatever appeals or is on offer at the time - provided it's kite marked of course - so what really attracted us to this product was the tins rather than the included condoms.

The tins themselves come in a variety of colours and styles - eight are offered at Lovehoney, styles are selected at random - which means for us as we have two different tins we know which tin is ours.

The tins are nice and sturdy so far, not showing any signs of damage. A big part of why we bought these was due to the fact that condoms kept in wallets or purses run the risk of damage over any length of time, so to carry some on us the majority of the time without that risk was a real benefit.


The tins come with three durex condoms in them already, and a small informational leaflet which explains more about the love boxes. Once this leaflet is removed, I have found up to five condoms will fit in the box - though this is highly dependent on brand and style as some (for example Skyns) are thicker packets. 

The bottom line is that I'd recommend anyone who uses condoms on a regular or semi-regular basis would benefit from the reassurance having your protection protected brings!

The Durex Love Box is available at Lovehoney for £3.49 and comes with three condoms.

How sexy is your town?

I've been looking forward to the results of the UK Sex Map being published for a while now, since I first heard of the map being compiled. For me, interesting results include: The city I live in right now spends more than the national average on toys and naughty accessories (well done!). The things my city spends the most on (at 1.4x the national average) are Adult DVDs and Sexy Costumes. The town I was born and raised in is in the top 50! Apparently, it spends over three times the national average on anal toys! It's also pretty good to see that the folks of my home town aree being as safe as possible, with 2.6x the national average being spent on condoms. The map has already been featured in a few newspapers today, but more interestingly, there is an edition of Company magazine coming out soon... that may have a not-so-familliar face in it... See if you can spot me by the answers! ;) Why not have a flick through and see what your town gets up to?!
