Need Condom Advice

[NiekDutch]

Hi, I can't figure out which nominal width condom size would be right for me. Girth 5.55". Does that mean 2.77" nominal width? Because I can't find condoms that size.

Also some recommendations for specific condoms if possible, for straight sex if that makes a difference

Oh, and length is 7.1"

I buy my condoms online. Mysize (google it) condoms are really nice. They have a guide to get the right fit.

So do I take my girth divided by 2 to get the nominal width? Or do I then still need to account for the condom to fit snug and deduct a few mm?

Pi is 3.14 so dividing by 3 is a better rough guestimate. Go to the Mysize website as suggested!

The condom industry has some weird standards. First, condom sizes refer to the width of the flattened condom, not its diameter, so "pi" doesn't apply. The width of a flattened circle is 1/2 its circumference (girth). So, theoretically, if your girth is 5.55 inches, your condom size would be 5.55/2 inches x 25.4 mm/inch = 70 mm. But buying a size by this method will result in a loose fit. I'd recommend at least 10% smaller (which would make it 63 mm instead, because you need the condom to stretch a bit for a snug, but not tight, fit. "My Size" condoms (German, I think) makes sizes up to 72 or 74 mm if memory serves.

I'm 6.25" in girth, which technically computes to a condom size of 79 mm, but I get a great fit with 69 mm condoms.

Have you tried condoms you can buy over-the-counter or on-line? Your cock is nicely big but not GIGANTIC...

Yes, Durex Fetherline with 2.2" nominal width. That condom felt quite tight, especially at the base. The length is not the issue (7.1"), the girth however is 5.9" at the base and 5.5" mid shift.

I buy online My Size is the brand.

I would like to try engineer805's suggestion for the Mysize condoms. Only difficulty is that I live in South Africa and they're not sold here. Would have ship them here from Europe which is quite expensive

You can download and print out MySize's condom size guide here: https://www.my-size-condoms.com/fileadmin/de/downloads/MYSIZE_Kondomguide.pdf

Just print it out on an A4 sheet at 100% resolution and see for yourself where you end up. The number where you end up is a good suggestion for nominal width in mm (e.g. 60 mm / 64 mm). You can then find other brands that offer those sizes in South Africa without having to import MySize condoms.
