Condom that'll Fit?

[B_Amadeus]

Hey guys (and gals),

Obviously, this is my first post here and i'd like to say hullo to everybody. Besides being self-absorbed when it comes to large genitals, you seem alright. lol j/k I am looking forward to getting to know everyone here though .seriously.

Now, as the thread title'll suggest, i'm having trouble finding a condom that'll really fit me. I've tried on the standard Durex condom before and it snapped. My penis is 8" long, 6" around uncut. Can anyone help me find a condom that'll fit me (and preferrably doesn't cost like, 100 dollars for 5 of them)?

All help appreciated.

Where do you live?

MagnumXL's will fit but are a bit pricey. OR you can go to a family planning clinic and ask for some free large condoms. Here the large brand is called Pasante Large.

Well so far, from reading measurements it sound slike something like the Durex Avanti polyurethane would be the best bet (8" in length, and about 1.25 inches across, so I think that'd fit me almost perfectly), or the Durex Natural Feeling, which are slightly smaller than the Avanti.


People go on about how it's a good thing to have a gibigulous penis, but just like having a high metabolism, it's very costly and high maintenance. lol :biggrin1:

If you're 6" around, your math is terrible if you think something with a 1.25" diameter will fit you.

Circumference = pi x diameter
Circumference = approx. 3.14 x 1.25"
Circumference = 3.93"

Ouch. That's tighter than a regular; probably the size of a Snugger Fit.

I have a 6" girth too, go for Magnum XL's if you want the best fit.

This is the one I was referring to:
Durex condoms - Durex Avanti - non latex Durex Avanti condoms.

And this is the one that you're referring to:
Trojan Magnum XL Large Size Condoms

While the XL would probably be big enough around, it says on the site it's 8 1/2" long. i'm usually 7 and 3/4-8" long. I'm afraid it'd be like, a half-inch too long most of the time?

See, having "safe" sex is really complicated with me, so that's why I can't do it with a woman or top a guy. Since everyone else seems to have a "normal" sized one, I always had to be a bottom.

No sweat, I'm only 7" long, and it works fine for me. It fits nicely and snuggly, but not uncomfortably so. The shortest mainstream condoms are about 7.1" long, and many many man are shorter than that (since the average penile length is about 5.5" or possibly less). Therefore, if length was an issue, very few men would be able to effectively wear condoms, and that's certainly not the case in reality.

Sacrificing condom girth for condom length is a good way to break a rubber. If it's too tight, it will:

1) be painful.
2) be more prone to breaking.

BTW, the Durex one is about the size of a regular Trojan Magnum, which will be tight on you since it's circumference is about 5" (slightly above the average penile girth which is 4.75ish").

 

[the_reverend]

the girth of the condom is really more important for the condom than length. i mean, if it doesn't cover your entire penis, that's fine. and if you can't unroll it the whole way, that's cool too. i'm a bit shorter than you (7" long), and the Magnum XL works for me fine. it's really girth that you want to pay attention to. snug enough to grip your cock, but not so tight it hurts or feels suffocated or anything.

 

[Donk]

As others have said, you want Magnum XL. It's really a no-brainer for your length and girth. Lengthwise, condoms are generally designed to be slightly longer than the penis--for some of us, they never work out that way, but consider that an average size condom is about 7" long, an inch or two longer than the average penis.

Forget the Avanti polyurethane brand unless a latex allergy is involved. Those condoms are made wider because they stretch much less than latex, so that would actually be much tighter on you.

Here are the large sizes suggested by Condomania.com:

Condomania Online | Without Spermicide

Oh yeah, the price comes in around a buck each plus or minus.

I may just be echoing everyone else here, but yeah... Trojan Magnum XLs have worked the best for me thus far. When I was young and naive, I kept trying the regular condoms. I started off with the standard Trojans and Lifestyles, or whatever I could get ahold of at the time. I honestly didn't know that I was above average (despite my ex-girlfriend's comments... I just thought she was being nice). I soon realized, however, that condoms are not supposed to break just by putting them on. (Nothing quite as unpleasant as having them snap the wrong way and flick you on the cockhead like a rubber band.) I first tried upgrading to the Magnums, but found that they were still a bit snug. I could get them on without breaking them, but they would pinch a bit and strangle my cock, making the veins bulge out obscenely. (My girlfriend at the time said that it made my penis look "angry.") The Magnum XLs ended up being the right size for me. Judging by our similar sizes, I would venture to guess that they would work well for you.

Now as far as price goes, that just depends on where you live. Try to stay away from run-of-the-mill grocery or pharmacy stores as they tend overprice them at around $10-$15 American for a box of 12. Even porno shops usually overprice them. As much as I hate supporting evil, I've found that WalMart has the best deals on the XLs around my neck of the woods at around $5-$7 for the 12-pack. Outside of that, I would recommend shopping around the usual online spots. I've seen a few good deals on Ebay and Half.com, but you usually have to buy in bulk for the shipping to be economical.

Hopefully my information is helpful, and good luck!

Cheers,
~LPD

it took me a while too but i finally found some they are from pasante healtcare and the large ones will fit!!

 

[Asdeon]

I guess every penis is different...

I'm about 8x6 and the regular Magnums work fine, although they are difficult to roll because they usually get stuck halfway down because I'm thicker there.

I would highly suggest the Magnum Twisters though. Just like the regular sized twisters, but bigger. It gives me more head room, rolls on better, and feels about 75% better (because I have foreskin, it enhances the sensation greatly because of the slightly extra latex at the head). My girlfriend also likes the sensation from the Twisters better than the regular Magnums as well. i think they're like $7 a box of 12 at WalMart or something. I don't know - she buys them. :tongue:

Good luck!

Interesting thread

I have always found it hard to find comdoms that fit

Seems you boys in the U.S.A can get them

Over here in the U.K its a really hard to find large ones

 

[mdc]

If you're near a Walmart, they sell a box of 12 Magnum XLs for about $5.

That's not expensive. It's about the same price as most other 12 packs of condoms.

 

[incher2]

Magnum XL for wide all the way up, and Magnum Twister for those who want lots of head room without too much more width at the base. The base of the Magnum Twister is about midway between the Magnum and the XL.

I have seen Magnum xl on ebay, 3 boxes of twelve for about 15.oo US with shipping.

 

[B_josiah852]

Magnum XL's fit great on me. They don't cost any more than the other 12 pack around here.

Forget the Avanti polyurethane brand unless a latex allergy is involved.

Funny you should mention that; my wife does have a latex allergy. We don't usually use condoms (I am fixed) but sometimes femal problems necessitate it. The only polyurethane brand I can find at the drug store is Trojan, and it only comes in regular size. Their regular size latex fit okay (if snugly) but the polyurethanes are less flexible, uncomfortably tight, and the one time we tried them we broke 3 and gave up. Are Avantis larger and/or available in a variety of sizes? Do you have to order them online?

 

[B_3milimeters]

The regular Magnums will fit you just fine. The twisters are a little funky.

 

[714goodguy]

Try TheyFit Condoms from Condomania Online. They've worked great for me and my larger friends. They are a great quality, have a great feel, and the price is reasonable.

For those that haven't heard of them, they are condoms that are semi-custom fitted to your size. You pick the condom length and girth.

Just started using Magnum XL's (apparently I'm in GOOD company), and i find them to be , pretty much, the best thing gong.
Yah, they ARE pricey, (@17 bucks for a box of 12 here- in store. ),but they are stronger than Trojan large, and I DON"T CARE what people say about Durex, but any well hung guys 7 inches plus would be wise to "steer" clear of 'em.
they don't just break, they SHATTER -and easily.
I have tried Roughriders, Pit Bulls, pretty much ANYTHING that implied "this is a strong condom that won't snap on you", and they have laughable results... but at LEAST being the guinea pig was fun , lol.
Besy bet, Go with magnum (gold if you have to, Black (XL) if you can)-
It'll be worth it.
