I've just been wrapping it in tin foil I find it to be the next best thing.

No but seriously, it is frustrating bc even most of the "xl" condoms really aren't any wider they're just longer... they need to quit discriminating against us full figured(or I prefer to call it natural) guys... fo show.

that's odd...i've found the Magnum and Magnum XL are about the same length, but the XL accomodates girth more.

also, to those who are worried about laying down the money to "experiment" with a particular brand, i know Trojan at least offers free samples on their website.

I find that the Magnum XLs suit me better. They fit me and feel good on. However, I think you need a little "slippage" to enchance the feeling on the head of your dick. I always put a little lube inside the condom before putting on. If you want to have it feel better, have our GF slip it on for you. My wife can slip it on in a second.

They were making one for a while I know that was 10" long(it might have been durex) but they could have discontinued it. Honestly I just stopped using them... bad i know.

I'll probably buy XL next time. Or try the trojan website, thanks for that tip.

I just never thought I would use the big or even biggest condom because I always changed clothes away from other guys throughout highschool and I guess watched so much porn that i convinced myself mine wasn't anything special.

But one important aspect I guess is the slipping mentioned. Im uncut so i definitely need "give" becase the latex wraps up and over the foreskin and sort of slides with you when you're uncut. Plain Magnums don't really have slippage but just fit snuggly and I guess are probably less comfortable.

Im surprised Magnums are the only brand. Anybody know of any others, or are they just found at specialty stores?

Maybe you should try a polyurethane condom like Trojan Supra or Durex Avanti. I doubt either are as wide as a Magnum at the widest point, but both are supposed to be generally wider from top to bottom. Haven't really seen or heard of any others like that or even similar.

Went to the TROJAN site, but they're not offering a free
MAGNUM XL condom, just the regular MAGNUMS, which I
use.

Thought for sure I'd finally get to try the XL's! As I stated
elsewhere, I don't want to buy the big box and then find out
they're too big (MAGNUMs are perfect for me, but I am
wondering if the XL will be even better, as I'm quite thick)...

Maybe you could try buying a sampler pack. I'd think they'd put a few Magnums in them, plus others you could try out. I thought I've seen Magnums in grocery stores and drugstores too. The local adult bookstore might have them too if you have one near you. Those places probably sell them in packs of 3, instead of the 12 packs.

huh...that's weird. the first time i tried Magnum XL was from a free sample i ordered off their website. guess maybe they rotate their product line.

i'd say if the Magnums work fine for you and you have no problems, stick with those. if it ain't broke, don't fix it. ;)

The thing I find most annoying is the limited size choices available in Australia. I've just moved to Western Sydney and they don't even have "larger" condoms on the shelves, anywhere I've checked so far. Thankfully I've still got half a box (144) left that I ordered online a year ago.

Last night I happened to find a normal condom in my drawer, so thought what the heck, struggled to put it on, and after 5 minutes had to take it off and swap, was killing my circulation and looked like it was about to bust.... trust me, above 6" girth, you need larger.
