I am a pumper and stick mainly to that thread but I will throw my 2 cents in here.... I buy Magnum XL's for two reasons....I dont liek the constraint of a regular magnum and the breathing room i have from the xl's is just enough to let me use them after a pumpin session too....though if your curious the ring is still tight and leaves a very noticable ridge

I reccomend XL's if you can swing it because of the mental confidence it gives you (GOLD WRAPPERS!) and the quality of the condom itself.

I used to wear Magnums, but they are too tight. The ring actually hurts, so I switched to XL's when they came out. They are still snug, but no pain associated with them. I use the gold wrappered ones.
yes regular Magnums are too small. I couldnt get one over the head of my dick. The only way for him to find out is to try different ones.....:cool:

Haven't tried XLs yet. I probably could pull it off, but don't want to waste 12 bucks or so on a package of too-big condoms.

If you are in the United States try Walmart. Magnums and Magnum XL's cost only 5.99. Not every Walmart has the XL's but a lot do. Check different Walmarts in your area. The three that are buy me don't carry them, but the one by my gf's house does.

That chart was helpfull, I find magnums to still be a bit tight and tough to get on so it seem like the xl's would be a better choice, except theyre the same width at the base why would they make the whole comdom wider but then narrow at the bottom?

I go to Walmart and pick them up for $5 a dozen. XL's that is. I get 5 packs at a time. Excellent deal and like to spread them out on the conveyor for the cashier. I do find they are larger despite the claims on the different sites. The ring seems stretchier. Never had one slip off yet even during anal.

From what I've read, they make magnum xl's tighter at the base to keep them from coming off. Has anyone ever met a man who had a penis base thinner than his penis shaft? I don't get it either but it seems that some condom designer felt it was a good idea. My take is that if the condom is tight enough to make the head of your penis bend around itself at the bottom and tight enough to be hard to get back off when trying, its probably tight enough to stay on without a tighter base. Maybe if you were to have rough scrabbling monkey-sex slippage would be an issue, but I can't remember ever being with someone I could have it with.

You know I had a boyfriend 5 years ago who when I tried putting on a regular condom like a Durex I would have trouble getting it pass the ridge of the head. Even after finally rolling down the condom I would have trouble keeping it hard. My bf would berate me, criticize me, ask me if I suffered some form of abuse in early childhood. That was before I discovered I was too big. Had I never been curious enough to try one on I would have never known! Now I go to Target and pick them up by the box load. I have absolutely no problem with cashiers ringing them up (I live in Brooklyn, NY here!). Now whenever I talk to my ex I let him know I didn't appreciate his negative imput when he could help find a solution for us. After all, I'm sure he regrets what he said in hindsight.

im 6x 5.5 and magnums are amazing! it actually feels like i can cum wearing one! i also like twisters to accomodate my 4g pa.

i wonder if maybe magnums are really necessary for more guys than not because of girth, unless 5.5" around is thicker than normal?

My one piece of advise is AVOID condoms with spermicide. The active ingredients have detergent properties, and cause irritation. It's proposed that while helpful against pregnancy, those with spermicide almost "promote" the transmission of STDs, in that the irritated mucous tissues actually have "micro-tearing", and are much more vulnerable to viral transmissions, if exposed.

Unfortunately, I don't have sources right now, and I'm late, but I'd do some searches, and you should find it pretty readily.

Right on, novice!!! Condoms with spermicide (nonoxynol-9 or N9) should generally be avoided, especially for anal sex.

1) There is no evidence they provide any extra back-up protection against pregnancy if the condom breaks, so regular condoms are fine.
2) N9 should not be promoted as a means of protection against STDs. In sponges, foam, etc N9 is OK as a contraceptive.
3) BUT N9 should not be used more than once a day vaginally or it causes irritation that increases risk of STD infection
4) N9 should NEVER be used rectally. Even a small amount causes major irritation and sloughing of tissue that protects from infection.

Having said all that, N9 is OK for contraception, as mentioned previously, and if you have no other option: an N9 condom is obviously better than no condom.

For more info: Global Campaign for Microbicides : Nonoxynol-9

Dude, i havent seen Trojan large (green pack) in years, those fit nice and snug and PERFECT for me.. i use Regular Magnums and im 7.5 x 5.5 or x around.. Latly ive been using the Trogen Twisters becuase it gives a bit more head room for my piercing.. I say go with a secure fit.. then again, i like things tight around my shaft

Yea, same here bro... Though I dont use the extra headroom for a piercing, I try to get an extra quarter inch or so to catch the force of the ejaculate.

Sadly, the decision to wear Magnums XLs or Magnums is not one I'll ever have to make. You big guys just have to rub our noses in it, don't you? (Kidding, bros.)

Odd. Although I've never actually had the need for condoms (yet) I wanted to make sure that when I time came I'd be ready and experimented with many different sizes. I'm 7 long and 5.75 at the base, and xl's seemed the most comfortable to me and didn't seem loose at all in terms of girth when subjected to masturbation. There was extra material length wise, but I had the same issue with magnums, although they were rather uncomfortable (but better than regulars) around the base of my member.

It sounds like a lot of people here have the opposite experience with the ring on xl's being tighter than on magnums, which is contrary to my albeit limited experience.

I have a small penis. I am so aroused reading this thread, i thought i would add my lil story.
Once when i was at a strip club, the stripper told me i had a big cock. It was probably because i was hard upon sitting down with her, as I have a 5 inch pecker. I made arrangements to see her later at my place. When she came, she had brought Magnum condoms, thinking I have a huge cock. When she started sucking my dick, she didnt mention anything. I put the condom on. It was obviously too long, but it just was snug around my girth. That gave me a lot of confidence as i pounded the hooker. It got a little loose at the end. I still have one of those three magnum condoms in my drawer next to my bed, to give me confidence.
You guys are lucky

GENTLEMEN, PLEASE, I IMPLORE YOU; STAY AWAY FROM NONOXYNOL-9!

The worst allergic reaction of my life was to a condom with nonoxynol-9 on it.

I remember and cringe 16 years after the fact every time I hear the word. Just so you have an ultra clear picture of the effect of this horrific spermicide to a vagina this is what happend to me. After penetration the walls of my vagina become swollen, inflamed, and itchy. It also made me nauseous and gave me a fever. I don't recall it hurting during the act, but a few hours later my boyfriend had to take me to the emergency room. What happend their is a blur I only vaguely remember. The next day I went to my gynecologist, huge doses of anti-inflammatories, 2 boxes of Replense(TM) and a good 3 weeks before I would let my boyfriend anywhere near me.

They used to say Nonoxynol-9 stopped the transmission of HIV. This is a lie.

So what you think. Magnum XL (gold wrapper or spermicidal one black wrraper) for this bad boy OR regular MAGNUMS. Trojan Large are just too damn tight. XL can sometimes be a lil loose but Id rather have space then POP. LOL

That picture is hot. Dam that is a perfectly large tool

are the XLs a lil roomy for some of u? you prefer that over damn tight?

I can wear either, although I have been partial to the Magnum XLs. They fit fine--not too tight but not loose enough that I worry about them coming off.

Trojan also has a new Magnum Twister that looks...interesting.

Trojan for more info.
