These lubricants may have slightly different names in different markets.

Hmmm…today’s post is going to be just a little raunchy because I would like to tell you about a great sexual find I made recently. I’m talking about Durex Play 2-in-1 Massage Gel, a Durex lubricant gel that is both a massage gel and personal lubricant. Read on to learn more about this Durex gel including how to use it and potential Durex lube side effects.

Durex Play 2-in-1 Massage Gel: Durex lube side effects

I’m a firm believer in safe sex, and as such, I am a big fan of all things Durex.

I don’t understand my friends who say that they can’t stand sex with a condom.

Durex has condoms for all moods, styles, sizes and preferences.

Durex Condoms

Some of Durex’s most popular condom brands include:

  1. Durex Invisible Super Ultra Thin Condoms for Men
  2. Durex Mutual Climax Condoms
  3. Durex Air
  4. Durex Extra Time, and
  5. Durex Extra Dots
Durex Condoms

Recently, I noticed that Durex had expanded its repertoire of pleasure products.

Durex Play Lubricants

On our supermarket shelves, we now have four new Durex lubricants to choose from:

…and Durex Play 2-in-1 Massage Gel.

Of these products, I once tried Durex Play Heat because it came as a freebie sample with a packet of Durex Fetherlite condoms (the ultimate Durex condom if you ask me), but I had never purchased any for myself until recently.

Looking for a Good Massage Gel

My partner loves to receive massages, and I like to give them.

We’ve, therefore, been looking for good affordable massage oil for a while now.

Massage with Durex Play 2-in-1 Massage Gel

After a horrific attempt with some (cheap) locally-produced coconut oil (I will spare you the details), it occurred to me to try Durex Play 2-in-1 Massage Gel because not only is this a massage gel, but also a water-based personal lubricant so that a massage can, if need be, progress easily, seamlessly, and happily into something steamier! 🙂

(In case you don’t know, condoms should never be used with oil-based lubricants which can compromise the integrity of the condom!)

On a whim, I bought a bottle of Durex Play 2-in-1 Massage Gel while I was shopping recently.

We tested both the massage quality and the Durex lubricant property of this lubricant gel.

As a massage gel, Durex Play 2-in-1 Massage Gel is a little light but feels amazingly silky.

I had heard that description used often before, but nothing prepared me for the feel of it on skin.

Durex Play 2-in-1 Massage Gel has a non-greasy feel and absorbs well into the skin.

To use as a lubricant, apply the Durex lubricant gel onto you and/or your partner’s intimate parts and proceed as usual.

It is water soluble so it will not stain sheets, clothes, or your skin and can be easily washed off.

Add more lubricant as necessary.
