Regular condoms are too short for me and tight but magnums are fine in length but too loose. Go figure. Lol. It's like when I buy pants..waist is ok but too short or vice versa. Lol

In my opinion, most of their sales of magnums are to guys who don't really need them, but their ego says they do. So it seems Trojan makes the base pretty tight so they won't easily slide off average girth.

They are def. more girthy, but not by a huge degree.

this.

what do Xbox and magnum condoms have in common?
the red ring of death. *or boner strangulation.. a penis thing, not an Xbox thing*

he's a bit wider at the base, doesn't like the pinchy quality of the band-roll bit.

Admittedly, I use Magnums not because I have a long penis (all condoms are essentially the same length, even Beyond Seven condoms), but because of my girth. Regular condoms squeeze my erection too much and LIfestyles (before I switched to Trojans) were even leaving marks on my penis afterwards. They really hurt. I was like, SERIOUSLY...this is what condom sex is like?

Doesn't have to be...

I resorted to using them because regular condoms would get painfully tight at the base of my penis. It was a hassle to peel them off too, I'd end up pinching the skin in my efforts to remove them. Sure, I'm not long enough to fill the length of a Magnum but the extra comfort is very welcome.

The real reason for magnum condoms is the girth, as other have said.

Most standard condoms are 7" long, so that is plenty of length to cover even the longest of penises.

Most standard condoms are only about 5" girth at max though. So guys with more than that will feel a constriction while using standard condoms. The dreaded red ring for those of us who know.

Magnums or XLs are the way to go imo. :smile:

In general, I look for wider condoms. It seems like the "XL" condoms put more into lenght than width. I'm 6.5+ thick, and those puppies are TIGHT, especially at the base. My problem with Magnum is I had a couple of them split on me. So I have changed over to Trustex XL Condom, which is wider than Magnum. And even that is a snug fit, but better.

Here's my Trustex XL in use. I'm showing it off for those looking for a wider condom.

How do I know if the condom is too small for me? I use normal ones but I cannot unroll them all the way down, if I do it rolls back up, not much, is not like it slips off my penis... it just starts unrolling... it won't stay down

AS many have said, we use Magnums for the wider girth, which is 30% wider than standard condoms, see Trojan Magnum XL Condoms | Free Shipping @ Condom Depot

Many other condoms that say they are larger often only have a flattened diameter width of 1mm or at most 2mm larger, which is insignificant if you are thicker than average. i.e. they are just appealing to ego, not cock comfort!

My boyfriend has trouble even with the magnums, he is still a little to big for them. It's kind of a pain in the ass. I don't even know if they make any bigger ones.

There is a company called TruFit (I think) that make custom condoms. GFO on web and search for custom made condoms. They are pricy but may be worth it. I use Magnums. Consequently Magnum XLs are longer than Magnums but are actually slightly tighter than regular Magnums. Also don't bother trying the New Lifestyle Sykn Large as they are too tight if you use Magnums.

Girth. Length is not a problem, but some condoms feel very tight and uncomfortable when they're on. Ones with a flared head are less uncomfortable.

I remember the first time trying a condom on regular size. 52mm one damn shit hurt like hell. quite painful could not even get it passed the head.


Next ones I want to try is Trojan NaturaLamb varies websites claim them to be 68mm. 2.67in

XL's are 2.5" max

my girth shredded regular condoms. I remember when Magnums came out, and I wondered aloud to my wife if I was big enuf. what if they fall off? she said, "honey, YOU have a big dick. they aren't gonna fall off." and they didn't. they were so much more comfortable. I always felt like my cock was getting strangled with reg condoms, and when we were really getting it on... BOOM! shredded. the only good part about that was the ego booster my wife would say as I withdrew to put another one on, "gawd you're huge, I can't believe I let you fuck me with that."

While I can fit into a regular, I am very thick and it is horribly uncomfortable. Sex with a condom is subpar in most cases anyway for anyone, but with the wrong size condom, it's much worse. I have to use magnums otherwise sex sucks and it's not supposed to, but not a problem with me, haha also gets some eye-opening looks at me too. I am an unexpected holder of a big cock, only 170cm tall, but I happen to hold a thick and long 21cm x 17cm piece of meat below the belt. And anytime anyone's ever yanked my pants open, I've got a gasp or big eyes as the reaction to what falls out.
