Pasante Climax Condoms - 12 Pack

What Are Climax Delay Condoms and How Do They Help?

If you've ever wanted to last a little longer in bed, you're far from alone. Premature ejaculation is one of the most common sexual concerns among men in the UK, affecting an estimated one in three at some point in their lives. Climax delay condoms like the Pasante Climax 12 Pack offer a discreet, straightforward way to address this — no prescription needed, no awkward conversations. You simply use them in place of a regular condom. At just £6.99 for a pack of 12, they're an accessible option worth knowing about. You can browse the full range of products in our condoms and sexual health collection.

Pasante is a well-established UK brand whose condoms carry the CE mark, confirming they meet the relevant European safety standards for contraception and STI protection. The Climax range is specifically designed with a benzocaine inner coating — a mild local anaesthetic — to gently reduce penile sensitivity and help delay ejaculation. They're made from natural rubber latex and come pre-lubricated for comfort.

How Do Pasante Climax Condoms Work Inside the Body?

The mechanism is straightforward. Benzocaine, the active ingredient, belongs to a class of medicines called local anaesthetics. When it contacts the skin on the inside of the penis, it temporarily reduces the intensity of nerve signals in that area. This mild desensitisation slows the build-up of arousal, giving you more control over when you ejaculate.

• Benzocaine 5% is applied to the inner tip of the condom during manufacture.
• On contact with penile skin, it blocks sodium channels in nerve endings, reducing signal transmission.
• The effect is localised — it doesn't affect erection quality or overall arousal significantly.
• Because the benzocaine is on the inside, transfer to a partner is minimal when the condom remains in place throughout.

Who Is Suitable for Using Pasante Climax Condoms?

These condoms are designed for adult men who experience premature ejaculation or simply want to extend the duration of intercourse. They're suitable for use in both new and established relationships. That said, they're not right for everyone.

• Men who ejaculate sooner than they or their partner would like.
• Couples looking to increase mutual satisfaction during penetrative sex.
• Men who prefer a non-pharmacological, non-prescription approach to delay.
• Those who already use condoms for contraception or STI protection and want an added benefit.

They are not suitable for anyone with a known latex allergy, or for those with a sensitivity to benzocaine or related local anaesthetics. If you're unsure, speak to a pharmacist before use.

How Do Pasante Climax Condoms Compare to Other Delay Options?

Are Pasante Climax Condoms Stored and Handled Correctly?

Proper storage matters more than people realise. Latex degrades when exposed to heat, direct sunlight, or sharp objects — all of which can compromise the condom's integrity. Store your Pasante Climax Condoms below 30°C, away from direct sunlight, and never in a back pocket or wallet for extended periods. Always check the expiry date before use. If the packaging is torn or the condom appears discoloured or brittle, discard it.

It's also worth noting that oil-based products — including body lotion, petroleum jelly, and some massage oils — can weaken latex. If you want to use additional lubrication alongside these condoms, choose a water-based option. For more on sexual health and related products, take a look at our personal lubricants collection.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

What Are Pasante Climax Condoms and What Are They Used For?

Pasante Climax Condoms are CE-marked latex condoms with a benzocaine 5% inner coating. They serve a dual purpose: providing reliable contraception and STI protection while also helping to delay ejaculation. Benzocaine is a well-established local anaesthetic used in a range of over-the-counter products in the UK. In this context, it mildly reduces penile sensitivity to help men maintain control during intercourse. The NHS recognises premature ejaculation as a common and treatable condition, and topical anaesthetics are one of the recommended approaches.

What Do You Need to Know Before Using Pasante Climax Condoms?

Before using these condoms, it's important to check whether they're appropriate for you and your partner. There are a few contraindications and precautions to be aware of.

Do not use if:

• You or your partner have a known latex allergy — latex condoms can cause allergic reactions ranging from mild irritation to anaphylaxis.
• You or your partner have a known sensitivity or allergy to benzocaine or other local anaesthetics (e.g. lidocaine, procaine).
• The condom packaging is damaged, torn, or the expiry date has passed.
• You intend to use oil-based lubricants, which degrade latex.

Warnings:

• Do not use more than one condom at a time — this increases friction and the risk of tearing.
• If irritation, burning, or swelling occurs, stop use immediately and seek medical advice.
• These condoms do not protect against all STIs — for full sexual health guidance, visit the NHS.
• Not intended for anal sex unless specifically stated as suitable by the manufacturer.

Drug interactions:

• No significant systemic drug interactions are expected given the localised, topical nature of benzocaine at this concentration.
• If you are using other topical anaesthetic products on the same area, avoid combining them without pharmacist advice.

How Should You Use Pasante Climax Condoms Correctly?

Using a condom correctly every time is essential for it to work as intended — both for contraception and for the delay effect. Follow these steps carefully.

1. Check the expiry date and inspect the packaging for damage before opening.
2. Open the packet carefully — do not use teeth or scissors, as these can tear the condom.
3. Ensure the penis is fully erect before applying.
4. Pinch the teat at the tip to remove air, then place the condom on the head of the penis with the roll facing outward.
5. Roll the condom fully down to the base of the penis.
6. Allow 2–3 minutes for the benzocaine to begin taking effect before intercourse.
7. After ejaculation, hold the base of the condom while withdrawing — do this before the penis becomes flaccid to prevent spillage.
8. Wrap the used condom in tissue and dispose of it in a bin. Never flush condoms down the toilet.

What Are the Possible Side Effects of Pasante Climax Condoms?

Most people use delay condoms without any problems. However, as with any product containing an active ingredient, side effects are possible. If you experience anything concerning, stop use and speak to a pharmacist or GP.

Common side effects:

• Mild temporary numbness or reduced sensation in the penis.
• Slight tingling at the application site.

Less common side effects:

• Localised skin irritation or redness.
• Mild burning sensation — particularly if there is an undiagnosed sensitivity to benzocaine.
• Temporary numbness in a partner if the condom is removed during sex and residual benzocaine contacts their skin.
• Allergic contact dermatitis in those sensitive to latex.

Serious allergic reactions to latex or benzocaine are rare but possible. Signs include significant swelling, hives, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis. If any of these occur, seek emergency medical attention immediately. For general men's health support, our men's health collection includes a range of relevant products.

How Should You Store Pasante Climax Condoms?

Correct storage keeps the condoms effective and safe to use. Latex is more fragile than it looks, and poor storage is one of the most common reasons condoms fail.

• Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Keep away from sharp objects, jewellery, or anything that could puncture the packaging.
• Do not store in a wallet, back pocket, or glove compartment for extended periods — heat and friction degrade latex.
• Always check the expiry date printed on the foil wrapper before use.
• Keep out of reach of children.
