The most popular of all condoms sold in the UK are Durex brand condoms, produced by LRC Products. In 1915, a man named L.A. Jackson founded the London Rubber Company (LRC) in the U.K. to sell imported (mainly from Germany) condoms and other health care supplies.

In 1929 the company registered DUREX condom trademark, whose name was derived from Durability, Reliability and Excellence
