I think I have somewhat of a problem, I'll get right to it: My midshaft girth is about 5.25 and my base is 6.25. My length is 6, and about 1.5-2 inches from the base is where it goes from roughly 5.25 to 6.25. I have trouble whenever putting on a condom, even magnums. The condom won't stay on all the way to the base because with the decrease in thickness it will roll up. I don't think its as much of a problem with girth as it is for this odd change in girth in such a short length. I thought about trying magnum xls but I think those are longer and I don't need that.

Does anybody else have this issue? Any advice?

I hd the same problem. I'm wider at the base and the condom would roll back up the shaft to the the smaller diameter. I started using a pump and over time my shaft thickness is now more uniform.

Mine is 6.75" long and 6.25" girth starting at mid shaft all the way down to the base. About 5.75 just behind the glans. I also have a hard time with large condoms. Hard getting them on and off. They act like cock rings at the base making my cock even thicker and painful when trying to get them off.

My cock is 4.5" girth or so at the glans and gets to 6" girth at the base and I have never really had a problem with condoms. If anything the thicker base makes them more secure.

So here are my hypotheses:

1. You are not as girthy as you think you are
2. The length ratio is causing some sort of bending of the laws of physics
3. You are somehow putting the condom on wrong

I read once that someone who was scared of herpes and other STDs was going to buy a really huge condom -extra long and wide- and put it over his dick AND stuff his nuts into it to protect them from fluids.

He said it worked well and the condom stayed on like never before.

[/I]I'm not sure I ever knew his sizes, but, it is an interesting public health idea as well as a mechanical one if proportions would fit.

I have a similar shape with a "flare" near the base where my circumference increases by about 3/4" within an inch and a half of shaft length. I gather that type of shape is pretty common.

I haven't had to use condoms for a long time, but I did have a similar problem with the bead or ring of the condom wanting to migrate up from the base, but it didn't seem to cause any major troubles.

I would not try Magnum XLs or any other flared or shaped condoms as these are wider toward the tip but minimally or no wider at the open end. They work well for guys with a big head (another common shape) or guys who just prefer a looser fit around the glans and frenulum, but they don't help much for guys like us with a tree-trunk shape.

I experienced the same problem about condoms rolling back... It was before realizing I have a big penis, when I still used regular condoms.

I have a cock that is wider at the base (about 6.5) and a bit thinner at the head. Now I'm using the MySize 69 condoms and they are doing great (they're large enough and they have a straight fit so the head is a bit loose but not too shaggy). They have plenty of different sizes, but I don't know if they're available outside Europe...
