What 北京大象和他的朋友们科技有限公司 does

Beijing Daxiang and Friends Technology Co., Ltd. (北京大象和他的朋友们科技有限公司), operating as "大象" (Daxiang), is a Beijing-headquartered intimate-wellness brand founded in 2013 by Zhao Chuan (赵川). The company designs, manufactures, and sells condoms, lubricants, and adjacent pleasure products under multiple sub-lines — Nothing (0.01mm ultra-thin), Jelly (hyaluronic-acid), Climax/高潮 (the decade-long bestseller), Fantasy/幻久, Pleasure, Tools, and water-based lubricants — targeting young, urban Chinese consumers.

Daxiang's core technology platform rests on a proprietary 0.01mm PUDS polyurethane formulation for ultra-thin condoms, developed with reported cumulative R&D investment of roughly RMB 1 billion, and on a growing biotech layer including recombinant humanized collagen (developed in partnership with Jinbo Bio, launched commercially in 2025 as the world's first collagen condom) and hyaluronic-acid integration. The IP portfolio comprises 70+ global patents and 830+ IP assets, including the avocado-box one-hand-open packaging patent, and is backed by Beijing 专精特新 ("Specialized, Refined, Differentiated, Innovative") recognition — the only condom brand to hold it.

The business model is a vertically integrated consumer-brand model: in-house R&D and manufacturing, mass-market pricing in the ¥13–69 per multi-pack range, and omni-channel distribution spanning 500,000+ retail terminals across 300+ Chinese cities (supermarkets, convenience stores such as 7-Eleven and Lawson, pharmacies) alongside six+ major Chinese e-commerce platforms (Tmall, JD, Douyin, Pinduoduo, Meituan, Kuaishou). Brand reach is reinforced through 10 billion+ annual brand impressions and offline experiential marketing such as "Jelly Wonderland Night" and Shenzhen Metro advertising. The company is self-funded (no external rounds disclosed), EU CE-certified since 2022 for cross-border sales, and increasingly extending its footprint into female-targeted SKUs and intimate-wellness adjacencies.
