interesting reviews on Amazon. Do let us know your feedback, esp wrt size & circumference.

When one buys clothing, in general one can make selections based on the stated sizes. Why isn't that also true with condoms? The idea that one size fits all simply is not true. Merely being able to put it on does not mean that it is a proper fit; it may be so tight as to be useless.

Getting the right size is not a problem only with condoms; it is also a problem with socks. Somehow sock manufactures think that one size is suitable for feet sized from 5 to 9 or so, the result being that for many of us, the socks pull uncomfortably against our toes.

Will do for sure! Magnums were the only condom that ever fit without feeling like I was "choking" god I'm so glad we don't need condoms anymore, but for the sake of something that is supposed to be revolutionary in regards to sex, my wife and I want to try it all ;)

New here, and just starting to hit the dating scene after a couple of very long term relationships. Search functionality on this site kinda stinks, so I am just posting to see what others do.

Short of going with a female condom, is there anything here in the US for a substantial guy like me? I am about 8.5 by 8 when fully at attention. I have tried Magnum XL, but I look like a stuffed sausage, and I get absolutely no feeling, and I go from being able to hit it for 30+ minutes to deflated in seconds once I put a condom on. I tried cialis, viagra et al, but nothing can keep me hard in such a confined, sensation free situation.

Doing math made me realize that I need roughly a 2.5" wide condom to be just under my 8" girth, but there aren't any sold in the US, and the only ones I can find are in EU.

Thought from other guys in the same predicament?

Sorry to hear this, I was going to suggest Viagra with Magnum XL because my doctor changed my life two years ago when he suggested it. I thought I was cursed.

need a suggestion, the guy I'm having sex with is quite big (not too girthy tho) with a beautiful cut downward curve... we need to find a good condom so that he can feel something as he's not a fan and tend to give him a softie.

he's tried the extra safe and those deffo kill his hardon... normal condoms also don't make him feel much.... any good word about the thin feel by durex? Guys who have anal wearing those, do you actually feel something? any more suggestions?

Hi! I have an 8" penis which is about 5.75-6" in circumference. I've been using normal Durex condoms, since I have didn't notice much difference with Durex XL when I tried them. The problem is that sometimes during sex, the condom gradually concentrates at the head of the penis and I become worried that it may slip off. I am uncut and I suspect that the skin forces the condom to come forward during sex, in addition to the anal sphincter holding the condom as I pull back, leaving the condom in a more forward state.
Is there any tip on condom choice or practices to prevent this phenomenon? Will the extra length of Durex XL help with this or its wider shape will make it worse? Is this common for anyone else? Thanks

View media item 966062I'm curious as to the right one for me... 6" bone pressed length which is not an issue. However my girth is 4&7/8" which is 4.875" or 12.18cm, obviously don't need large, but they say my girth is pretty much on the average number from the studies I've seen yet regular condoms don't fee tight at all. If anything a bit loose. Why is that? Should I really be using small?

Is being slightly loose a problem? Does it slip off? If so, perhaps you could try using a bit of silicone on the open end to keep it from slipping off. If you use only a very thin layer it would harden enough to grip within a few minutes. Silicone is not usually difficult to remove from skin. A bit of just about any kind of oil will weaken silicone to remove it. Olive oil would work fine to remove the silicone. There's no guarantee that silicone would work, but it would make a good experiment. You could also google "spray on condom"; it should provide a perfect fit.

have you tried buying a variety pack of condoms? As an example - Amazon has several to choose from. Different manufacturers will size slightly differently & perhaps even different lines by the same manufacturer. It's like shoes, not all size 8 shoes fit the same.
'Not tight' is good, but loose is bad as you don't want it to come off or leak. Again using shoes - loose will fit to walk in, but when you start running they may well fall off.

Pleasure Plus condoms used to fit me well, then the product was sold & suddenly they are too tight. Even in a brand things can change. Condoms are not a one size fits all even though society implies so. Experiment, buy a small & find out if you like the fit. They're so much cheaper than a child!

Having trouble with condoms, i got a cone shaped cock where the base is thicker and it thins out towards the head. using Mysize 69, it is definitly needed for the base but i think it looks "bad" around the head since there is a bit of loose material of the condom there. Are there any big condoms that tapers down towards the head?

That's more proof that the idea that one size fits all is a myth. They should be available in different sizes and shapes and the sizes and shapes should be stated in numbers, either inches or centimeters.

I started to try different brands and models.
I've always used CONTRO XL or DUREX XL (57mm both) but recently my gf noticed a red mark ad the base of my cock. So I looked for a bigger size and I found MySize 60mm and they seem to work good.
I also tried PASANTE (UK brand) always 60mm but I had the same problem.

Durex? Never again.
MySize? Perfect!

It's unfortunate that, because of the lack of adequate information, you had to experiment to see what worked best for you. It seems to me that thorough size information should be printed on the package along with instructions to determine which is the most suitable size. Surely that would not be asking too much from the manufacturers.
