Magnum, Magnum XL, and Durex XXL check-out

[goodone13]

Ever bought some and then went to the baddest/hottest cashier you could find in the store to check out, just to get a reaction or to see what kind of reaction you would get lol?

I use and buy Magnums... they are all pretty professional they never really say anything.

Most ppl think that Magnum+ are just for marketing. Remember in 8th grade health class they showed a video with a condom blown up to a gigantic size, why would anyone want anything other than a normal condom unless they had an ego problem?

I sort of wish condoms were 1 sized fits all but the reality is they are not, the problem is everyone except for ppl that need an alternate size everyone thinks they are one size fits all.

they are one size fits all but extremely tight unless i use magnums. after i cum i have alot of length left hangin with the magnum condom but my thickness keeps it snug. plus it doesnt burst. I can cum twice without pulling out

I have used Magnums and I don't really take any pleasure from someone seeing me buy them.

Up until a year or two ago, i was embarrassed to buy magnums cause i didn't want to seem like the type of person you are describing. The last thing i wanted was the person behind the counter thinking, "oh here's a guy buying magnums to try to impress me and other people."

Becasuse Condoms have plenty of stretch its not the length thats usually the issue its the width. Magnums have a wider ring and Magnum XL's wider still. Durex XXl are a bit more of a ego ride condom as they are not as wide as the Magnum Xl but rather a bit longer. Yet a Magnum is perfectly capable of stretching to length.

I've never gone out of my way to get attention but once the male cashier said 'hey are these any good' and winked.

 

[ThicknMoan]

no problems yet buying Magnum Large

Although I would consider a wink and a nod as a compliment there are SOME people I might find a turn off hahahah

I would be flattered but no thanks :tongue:


However, just buying condoms in general is kinda embarrassing. It means that I am declaring that I having SEX damnit! lol
Its like buying a porno mag (mag? whats that?) - it means you are probably gonna jerk off to it when ya get home.

What? don't tell me you buy condoms for the amazing packaging or read pornos for the articles

i've never been overly embarrassed...it's only really been an issue twice. once in college, i was buying a box from the grocery store in the neighborhood i grew up in and wound up with a cashier i'd gone to high school with. i was weirdly nervous...she just paused for a second when she got to them, smirked a little and kept scanning. lol!

another time i was on a date that was going REALLY well, and she asked if i wanted to go back to her place. i told her i didn't have any condoms, so we swung by a pharmacy on the way. i bought a pack of Magnum XLs and she bought a pack of cigarettes. the cashier told her there was a buy one get one free special on. she said, "wow, it must be my lucky night!" the cashier glanced over at the condoms and said "I'll say..." we all froze for a second and she looked up at us. i blushed a little, she started apologizing and the three of us wound up cracking up laughing. so, y'know...that was fun.

Never gave it a second thought. I use magnum or magnum XL whichever is available. I prefer the XL, the Magnums are too tight on me, feel like I'm suffocating. But back to the topic, no never had a saleslady or salesman, get all weird about it.

One time I was buying a box of Magnums at Walmart, it was early in the morning when I was checking out and the cashier nonchalantly showed the box to the door greeter, raised her eyebrows and mouthed a "woohoo" before finishing.

 

[matt121matt121]

Its never really been an issue...

Was interesting one night when I went to a Walgreens with my date and he bought condoms and the lube that I picked out, and I know she saw us in the condom isle together...but granted that store is right on the edges of the "gay zone" so I'm sure she has seen things like that all the time...

One night before I headed out of town on the trip I went to a CVS to get some silicon lube and I had to have the guy who was the one and only staff guy there since it was late get it out of the case, he didn't really make any inappropriate comments, he just asked me how it was since he said it seemed like a popular product...so I just non chalantly told him that I liked it better than the water based lubes for sex, that was all that needed to be said he didn't need any details as to what type of sex...

Its all about your confidence and not being nervous or ashamed about what your buying and if your confident they will sense it and not say anything, I know I use to be embarred buying tighty whities that I use to wear, or I know I was nevous when I bought my first jock/cup...and was embarrased when I bought my first speedo...though now I just buy what I want with confidence and don't really give a second thought about it, as chances are I won't see that person again, and even if I do, there doing their job and I"m doing my job as being a customer, so its suppose to be a professional relationship...we all know that we should be using condoms, and the 5 seconds of uncomfortableness to buy them should never stop someone from having safe sex as, a 5 second decision isn't worth messing up the rest of your life....

I've been buying magnums for years and never have had a second look. I think for the most part a checker simply just zones out on what people are buying. I know when I worked at a mainstream book and video store that's what I did.

Exactly this. Length isn't an issue, but a "regular" condom it so tight around the base of my cock I literally cannot achieve orgasm. Magnum XL's are perfect, but they're hard to find in my area, so I usually just get Magnums (which are everywhere, including WalMart).

should have said yes . and asked if he got a staff discount

 

[B_pressuretreated]

like others said i've always been curious but never bought them because i didn't wanna look like someone with an ego bigger than their junk. I did have a pack of life styles condoms given to me and they were the bigger sized condoms, and they were not much bigger, but at the time i was not having sex so i wouldn't know the difference. although i have noticed normal condoms let a tight mark around my cock like it was cutting off some circulation, and my junk gets smaller at the base

 

[EL_Duderino]

I had no problem buying them until i read this thread.... thanks dicks....

I used to break a lot of regular condoms and didn't really know why until a gf suggested i get magnums. I haven't bought regular condoms since. I think most times the cashier tries to pretend then didnt just see you buy a box of magnums so they don't have to feel uncomfortable or make an uncomfortable moment.

Thing is, regular Magnum's are wider.
