Finding the Right Condom

Finding the Right Condom

No matter what your size, do you ever wonder why you can't seem to get a good fit of the ol' rubber? Do you get that uncomfortable grip from it when you're doing the deed, like your dingdong is literally being choked? And does it even make it hard for you to nut when you're doing it?

You've tried everything. Large, X-Large, XX-Large, even a different brand altogether, and you still seem to run into that same uncomfortable problem in the bedroom. It's now either too big and slippery, or not big enough and your willy feels nowhere near free. What the hell? What gives? Well, my guys, I'm here to help you out with that.

What the condom companies don't tell you

Finding the Right Condom

The first thing you guys need to know is that the condom companies will tell you every 'large' size rubber is large when they really aren't. Even for 'average' size guys, the so-called large and even X-Large do not cut it. They still feel tight and uncomfortable. The companies just want you to feel confident and convinced in buying the product, and really wanna reel you in with all those wonderful, dreamy, nice-sounding things like "bare skin," "ultra thin," and "sensitivity."

You may also have noticed - if you're like me and you've stood in the store forever reading over packages trying to find the size specifications - that on most products, there isn't one! And that's the crucial thing to know. They only want you to take their word for it that it's really a large or X-Large rubber.

Finding the Right Condom

Few condom companies actually list the millimeter measurements on their boxes. But even when they do and you see numbers like 53mm - 60mm, you might feel like you're in the right direction, but still end up getting in the bedroom and putting on a tight condom that even makes it hard for you to cum! While trial and error of those numbers helps you get an idea of how much bigger you need to go, it's still not the complete answer.

But here's where we crack the code...

Finding out your size

It's not exactly the easiest thing to do for a guy, like how a woman can get her chest measured and know what type of cups she needs for a bra, but it can be done. You may have even tried looking at the condom size charts and felt confused about what exactly you're looking for in those millimeters. Here's the trick: give yourself a hard-on and literally measure the circumference of your ding dong with tape measure, the kind that tailors use. Sound crazy? Yeah. But that measurement is what you need in order to get a comfortable condom, because it's actually the girth (your dick's circumference) that is the key to getting it right. The length of the condom is the least troubling. Most men don't have 10in. "elephant trunks," but if you do, targetting a good condom length is where you want to focus.

The size of a freshly rolled out rubber is not the actual size of your hard penis, and isn't supposed to be. It has to have some kind of grip to stay on you, but getting an idea of the rubber's width will help you in finding one that is more comfortable.

Let's say the width - not the length - of the condom is 2in. To find out how big the circumference of it is, you simply multiply that width x2. Which will be 4. Is that a close enough size to your hard penis? If so you're good to go. This mathematical trick is what you need to know and will help you make a better selection for better pleasure, for you and her.

Take a look at all the condom products

Don't be afraid to branch out. Some guys will just go with brands like Magnum, Trojan, and Durex just because these are popular names on the market and are supposed to be trusted. I will be the first to say that I have never had a good experience with any of these brands. They are actually the most uncomfortable condoms I've ever used, so I go with brands people have pretty much never heard of but are more than likely to be what you need as well. Try brands like Lelo Hex, Kimono, or Hustler. Even for guys who are 'below average', these can work for them as well.

Here is a link to a wonderful page that expands on understanding condom sizes, as well as listing some good brands you've never heard of along with the popular ones. Some of what I talked about is also in this link: https://www.ripnroll.com/blogs/sexual-education/118070213-condom-size-chart

Now that we've had this very important man-to-man talk, I hope from here on you no longer have any discomfort with d*cking her down good in the bedroom.

Namaste, and good luck!

  • I seriously can relate to this. I have a above average sized penius. Not huge, but 7 inches, not sure about girth... but again above average.

    Finding a good condom is crazy hard, and you are 100% correct about reading the boxes. They don't really tell you shit. One size does not fit all. To tight and it is hard to maintain the hard on, too loose and damn thing comes off. I don't even know if there a good fitting condom. 😕

    • Bro, it has been a struggle for me forever. For years I literally had to do 'ghetto' tricks to make these things work AND STILL stay safe for the woman at the same time. Stressful. But now that I know the hack to sizes it helps a lot, plus @LikeALog gave a link to a great online store that has everything we need!

  • Stores usually stock items that sell quickly. It's specialty stores that sell niche and unique items.

    Some drug stores are beginning to stock true XXL condoms.

    The guys with OMG (Oversized Male Genitals) size typically order on line. There are a few. This one has, in my opinion, the best selection. I have no financial ties to this company by the way.

    Real XXL Condoms

    • Oh my God. Dude, thanks for this.

    • @ManOnFire If you sign up with your email, they will email 0 you discount codes. Sometimes with orders they include samples.

    • Well, they just gave me a 68 cent discount lol. And the shipping is a good deal. Dude, thanks again.

  • it's easy for me to find the right condom for the guy when fucking me. Just don't use one, nothing better feeling than a raw cock deep inside me

    • I like the way you put that😂

  • Just don’t do what my high school boyfriend did and only put it on the tip. It will fall out inside the vagina.

    • Wow, talk about inexperienced lol. Can't say I've ever done that one.

    • yip absoulutley the best keep the condoms nice and thin so u you can still feel the skin fuck all night until the morning light yip

    • Lol. Love the way you think😈

  • Dude this is awesome , I can relate. It was a girth issue for me and found a lesser known brand that felt good to me

  • I've tired various types, I personally find Durex ones the best, however since I'm 7 inch (just above average) it can hard to find ones what fit properly.

    Different Durex ones I've tried:

    Pleasure - They dry out quickly, don't really add much to experience.

    Safe - Probably the best, but still tight.

    • Glad to hear they work for somebody. I steer clear of those lol.

  • I’ve used a condom maybe 3 times in my life… the first time I had sex, maybe the second, and the one time I ended up in the wrong (or right) kind of massage parlor.


    If your sexually active having limited partners with limited partners and a grade a pullout game helps a lot if your not gonna wrap up.

  • I don’t usually use condoms. I think i’ve used a condom less than five times in my entire life. I never did like the fit, the pause in the mood to put one on, or the loss of sensation.

    • God. Lucky you lol.

    • Maybe, but i don’t think it has anything to do with luck. I don’t have sex with women i don’t trust or women who don’t trust me. I also don’t usually have sex with women with whom i wouldn’t want to share a child. So i didn’t “get lucky” as often as other guys. I also didn’t get unlucky with STDs, STIs or unwanted pregnancies though. Fair trade in my opinion, but it definitely wasn’t “luck”. Ell oh ell!

  • You can get condoms customized for your size online.

  • Hmmm now I wonder what size I would wear 🤔

  • Ok now I wish I had a boyfriend lol

    • No you don't. You don't need a boyfriend to have sex, most men will pump you any time you want it.

    • I’d rather not sleep with a stranger

    • Ask him his name.

  • I hate using condoms always had issues busting them, but you gotta do what you gotta do to stay safe...

  • I heard someone buy every size of condom they’ve there and try it on and when u found the one it fit you then that’s your size

    • Heard that too but not worth the time and definitely not the money.

  • You can custom order them you know? They aren’t cheap but very much worth the money. Or you can work as a stripper and get hired as a penis model by a company that makes custom condoms as well as other sex related products and get them for free lol. Canadian company is all I am telling. Years ago.

    • The link one of the guys provided on here has been a lifesaver.

  • Nope- it's not times 2. It's times 3.14.

    • Lol. Well, for a condom it's different because there is elasticity.

    • Lol. Which only further reinforces my point.

  • I love Trojan bareskin raws

  • interesting

  • I like the skyn condoms because it's not so rubbery and I think it's more slippery between the condom and the pussy.

    That being said I like condoms tight because it works like a cock ring. So I've always been ok with the standard brands even though they are tight.

    • Those Skyn ones are REALLY awful for me lol. But I do like the less rubbery thing about them, yeah.

  • Never used a condom in my life.

    • Wish I could say the same, but better to be safe than sorry!

    • I never stuck in a woman that I was worried about getting her pregnant.

    • That being said, I do have two kids 13 months apart.

  • Do they make any with a 5" circumference? I clicked on the link and the biggest circumference I saw was 4.4"

    • Not sure, man. You might have to contact customer service.

  • Most of the guys in India I've dated had problems with condoms not fitting and sliding off during sex.

  • Great my take.
