When you're shopping for a condom or sexual wellness protection product, the big decision often comes down to sensation versus price. These two delay condoms take different approaches: the TROJAN Extended Pleasure is designed to be thinner and more direct, while the Durex Performax adds more stimulation for both partners. The prices are close enough that you might not think about the gap, but they're not identical. Understanding what you're paying for is the key to choosing the right box.
Quick Verdict
If you want a lighter feel and a lower price, go with the TROJAN Extended Pleasure. If you want a condom that adds more partner-focused stimulation, go with the Durex Performax. Both serve the same delay purpose, so the difference is in how they feel and what they cost. In short, the TROJAN is the value-leaning pick and the Durex is the sensation-leaning pick.

Product Notes
TROJAN Extended Pleasure Condoms, 12 Count
At $13.28, this is the lower-priced of the two delay condoms in this head-to-head. The TROJAN Extended Pleasure is made of premium latex and highlighted as ultra-thin and lubricated, which gives it the lighter feel many people look for. The special lubricant inside is designed for climax control, and the 12-count box is a practical size for regular use. For someone who wants a delay condom that doesn't add much bulk, the thin profile is the main reason to choose this pack. The limitation: if you want the partner-stimulation features the Durex highlights, this one doesn't call that out. It's the better buy when you want a thinner delay condom at a lower price, and you're comfortable getting your delay effect from the lubricant rather than from surface design.
Durex Performax Condoms, 12 Count
The Durex Performax costs $16.75, making it the higher-priced of the two in this comparison. It bundles a ribbed and dotted exterior designed to add sensation for her, and the inside has benzocaine at 5 percent to help delay ejaculation. That makes it a more stimulating choice for couples who want a delay condom that also works for the partner. The limitation is the extra cost: it is $3.47 more than the TROJAN, and it doesn't advertise an ultra-thin construction. Choose it when partner-focused stimulation matters more than price, and you want a condom that adds extra texture to the experience.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose TROJAN Extended Pleasure if your priorities are a lighter feel, the lower price, and a delay condom that keeps things simple. Choose Durex Performax if you want a more stimulating design and are prepared to pay a bit more. The price difference is a straight $3.47, so the decision really comes down to whether that extra stimulation is worth it to you.
