Update 17.7.08: find an update to this story on Top 7 Places to Get Pregnant.
Here’s an interesting price comparison for a Durex Elite 12 pack kindly served to us by pricerunner. The prices vary from an average 3.15 (GBP) in Shanghai to 12.47 (GBP) in Ireland.
Another interesting aspect of this list is the price for a Durex Elite 12 pack in Houston or Denver compared to the rather high prices in Los Angeles or New York. Obviously there’s a simple solution really: you can buy condoms online. Have a look at the entire list here:
- Shanghai £2.27
- Germany £2.75
- Belgium £3.46
- Austria £3.92
- Czech Republic £4.52
- Houston £4.86
- Hungary £5.18
- Denver £5.42
- Seattle £5.59
- Poland £5.91
- France £6.21
- Chicago £6.59
- Miami £6.67
- Los Angeles £7.01
- Portugal £7.17
- New York £7.40
- England £7.57
- Netherlands £7.67
- Ireland £8.99
While I think quality has its price I don’t really agree with some of these high prices that we find in the UK and Netherlands.
Thanks to Dan and Pallab.

How did they get the price in Germany?? I don’t think Durex 12 pack is as cheap as that here in Germany, I am not sure how much is it exactly, but the cheapest decent condom is like 5 Euro for a 10 pack… it is almost 4 Pound.

@Echo: You’re quite right about that. I’m not sure about it, and I couldn’t prove them right quite yet. Might have been on sale during the survey ;) Let me go and ask them quickly.
