For many people around the world, Durex is a brand of adhesive tape, and "Durex" has become colloquial for adhesive tape, much in the way that "Scotch Tape" has become colloquial in the U.S. I met a couple of Australian ladies who went shopping for Durex at an office supply store in Canada. They reported that the clerk became indignant when they asked where they could find Durex in the store. The clerk thought that they were shopping for condoms!
