Durex is recruiting 50 condom testers across the UK, and will pay you £100 to put its newest condom through its paces.
The sexual wellbeing brand has found through new research that there’s been a 24% rise in STIs in the UK year-on-year, yet two-thirds of sexually active singletons rarely use condoms.
So now Durex wants to prove that its newest condom – its thinnest and most innovative to date – won’t reduce pleasure, by paying people to give it a test run.
The job (which is, thankfully, advertised as a remote position) will see Durex hire 50 members of the British public to test and review Durex Nude condoms.
Those wanting to apply can do so through Durex’s Instagram page, and successful applicants will be sent a package that includes condoms, lube and a measurement guide, alongside a link to where to leave their review.

Durex wrote: “Fed up with condoms getting in the way of maximum sensation during sex?
“We have just launched our amazing DUREX NUDE range, our thinnest condom to date, designed to feel it all.

“We are so confident that it’ll be the best condom you’ve ever tried that we want you to try it and then review it. In return, you’ll receive a £100 voucher.
“Apply now by following @durex, then like and comment on this post. 50 lucky people will be chosen and sent instructions on how to review the condoms on the Durex website to receive their £100.
Nikki Hayward, category marketing manager for Durex, said: “At Durex, we know that pleasure is key when it comes to sex, which is why we’ve placed a great deal of focus on innovation, ensuring that our condoms increase the pleasure of sex, rather than inhibit it.
“After years of development, Nude, which is designed to feel it all is our thinnest condom yet, and comes in three fits to ensure there’s an option to suit everyone.
“We’re so confident that this condom will be a game changer when it comes to proving that condoms can actually make sex MORE enjoyable, that we’re putting our money where our mouth is, and recruiting our very own team of paid condom testers from across the UK, who we’re inviting to give honest and open reviews about their sexual experiences while using the Nude range.”
Durex also found that the average sexually active UK adult has had sex on average 94 times in the past year, rising to 140 times for 18-34 year olds.

First-ever JD Wetherspoon pub to open at Manchester Airport
Danny Jones
In news that we feel many Mancs and travellers all-round have been waiting on for a long time, the well-known British chain, JD Wetherspoon, will be opening its first-ever pub at Manchester Airport.
That’s right: soon that first airport pint of the holiday could actually be a relatively cheap one.
While Wetherspoons are no strangers to popping up in terminals across the UK and Ireland, they’ve never done so here in Manchester despite having three, yes THREE, in Gatwick alone.
Not for much longer, though, as soon T2 will be lending more than 3,000 square feet of its prime leisure and retail real estate to a new Greater Manchester ‘Spoons’.
Posting on social media, the airport wrote: “Wetherspoon comes to Manchester Airport this September! The pub will be located in the Terminal 2 Departures lounge and will have more than 300 seats.
“This will become the final major food and drink venue to open its doors as part of our decade-long £1.3bn transformation of Terminal 2. It will be named ‘The Belle Vue’, in a nod to Manchester’s historic showground [now a sports complex and leisure hub].
“It was a focal point for social life in the city from the Victorian period up until 2020, when the final event was held at Belle Vue stadium. The design of the pub is inspired by the history of Belle Vue and the sporting culture of the North West of England. We look forward to welcoming you all in September!”
While a lot of money has been pumped into T2’s refurb as a whole over the past few years, it remains unclear just how much this particular new addition will cost; we do know that great sums were set aside for the launch of the Great Northern Market last year.
The inaugural Manchester Airport Spoons is just the latest in a series of major renovations.
As mentioned, the company already operate several up and down the country – 10 airport pubs, to be specific – but this will be the first in the North West.
Speaking on the news, JD Wetherspoon chief executive John Hutson said in a statement: “We are looking forward to opening at Manchester Airport. We believe our new pub will prove popular with travellers of all ages and be an asset to the new terminal.”
With Manchester Airport adding a dozen new routes to its roster this summer, you can expect to see even more people flying in and out than ever – no doubt having already polished off a cut-price pint or two beforehand.
