Durex Duration Delay Gel for Men How to Use

Durex® Duration™ Desensitizing Gel is a topical product designed to help men delay ejaculation by reducing penile sensitivity.

Its active ingredient, benzocaine (7%), is a mild local anesthetic that temporarily numbs the skin.

How to Use Durex Duration Gel/How to Apply Durex Delay Gel

Apply the Gel: Before intercourse, tilt the bottle at a 45-degree angle and pump a small amount of gel onto the head and shaft of the penis. Gently massage the gel into the skin until fully absorbed.
Wait for Absorption: Allow the gel to dry for approximately 5 to 15 minutes before engaging in sexual activity. This waiting period ensures the product is effective and minimizes the chance of transferring it to your partner.
Remove Excess: If there’s any excess gel, wipe it off with a damp cloth prior to intercourse.
Post-Intercourse: After sexual activity, wash the product off thoroughly.

Timing Spray Durex

Here’s what you should know about Durex timing/delay spray products:

What It Is & How It Works

Durex offers a Delay Spray (sometimes called Climax Delay or Elevate), containing lidocaine (and sometimes prilocaine). These are mild topical anesthetics that slightly reduce sensitivity to help delay ejaculation.
There’s also a related product called Durex Duration Desensitizing Gel, which uses benzocaine instead. It’s used similarly but comes in gel form rather than spray.

Instructions for Use

Shake the spray bottle, then apply a few sprays to the penile area about 5–10 minutes before intercourse.
Let it fully dry before initiating. Any excess should be wiped off before continuing.
After use, wash off the area thoroughly with soap and water.

Safety & Compatibility

These sprays and gel are designed for external use only.
If using latex condoms, let the spray or gel fully dry before condom application to avoid transferring numbness to your partner.
Users with known allergy or sensitivity to local anesthetics should avoid using it. Pregnant or nursing partners should consult a doctor before use.
Rare side effects may include methemoglobinemia, with symptoms like pale or bluish skin, weakness, or breathing difficulty—seek medical help if these occur up to two hours after use.

Common Questions

Question	Answer
Is it the same as Durex Duration gel?	No. The spray is lidocaine‑based, while the gel uses benzocaine. Their delivery format differs, though both serve similar purposes.
Will it transfer to a partner?	If properly applied and dried—and excess wiped off—transfer is minimized. Still, it’s important to discuss with your partner before using.
How long before sex should it be applied?	Typically, 5–10 minutes prior, with enough time for drying. The gel version recommends 5–15 minutes.

Tips for Best Experience

Start with minimal amounts and gradually adjust—more isn’t necessarily better.
Wait sufficient time for full drying before picking up pace or putting on a condom.
Clean thoroughly afterward to avoid residual numbness.

Summary

Durex offers both a lidocaine-based Delay Spray (sometimes called Elevate or Climax Delay) and a benzocaine-based Duration Gel, each formulated to temporarily reduce penile sensitivity to help delay climax. They must be applied in advance, allowed to dry, and any residue wiped or washed off to prevent transfer and ensure condom compatibility. As always, use with caution, especially if there’s any sensitivity or risk of side effects.
