Unfortunately in the US it's due to the FDA only allowing about 2 sizes since it's classified as a medical device or something like that. So unless you're specifically one of those two sizes you will end up either with a slight loose or super tight fit, unfortunately


Europe has a much better system where you can get the perfect size you want.

Personally I've only found the Skyn brand to be usable, and as a bonus it's non-latex.

 

[Bubbavelli]

The only way this is going to get solved is if OP makes a video of him putting a condom on

Yup this is accurate. Do you think Skyn would be helpful in this situation?

I use "mysize" condoms from amazon. You could give those a try.
And everybody who says "normal condoms fit every dick" don't know what they are talking about. yes they """"fit"""" but it's very very unfomfortable.
The leg/arm comparisons are stupid. Your leg is not as sensitive as a dick (I would hope)

I was gonna suggest this too. Larger condoms on the market seem to really add length and not much for girth, except for around the head of the penis for some reason, so I understand your pain in finding a condom.

Also, while regular condoms can fit anybody, comfort becomes an issue and so does constant breakage because the material is getting stretched thinner. if you're 6+inches in circumference you can expect issues with breakage.

I was actually going to suggest Skyn too! It has more give than latex, and feels better to boot.

Skyn Larges saved my sex life. My GF at the time kept apologizing that she tried to use a regular one and things looked pretty.. colorful after a bit Still a bit tight, but I much prefer the feel of the Skyn versus Trojan and similar brands to that, and so did my partners.

Only issue might be if you want to be able to grab it local, it's not as common as Durex/Trojan. The only store around here I can consistently find it at is Wal Mart.

I have a Walmart close-by. I have no problem getting them online though if it's the only option. I just want something that'll work. Thank you for the advice! It's much appreciated.

Hopefully it works. As someone said the Skyn has a bit more of a give/smoothness to it so it feels like it just fits around you instead of trying to overtly compress you to fit inside it, if that makes any sense.

It does actually. A little snugness would be ok, but what I've experienced goes beyond that.

[Jedi2016]

For those that keep posting that stupid leg picture, it's not matter of "fitting", it's a matter of comfort. I'm thicker around the base, and having to push, pull, and twist the thing into position down there, only to have it cut off most of your circulation and sensation, isn't really all that pleasant.

Really surprised at how often people say they 'never used condoms'….like, ever? Man, a lot of you guys played with fire back then. I get it for current, trustworthy relationships, but back when you were with someone new? I don't care if they were on the pill - there are plenty of other reasons to protect oneself.

It's really hard to get people to talk maturely about condoms.

I've only ever had sex with my wife, and we didn't have sex until we got married (after having been together for 5 and a half years)

Fits every size

Told by a professional that if you don't have one on hand that shrink wrap works just as well as a condom.

Btw where are the graph condoms at? The ones the bill gates foundation funded?

I use MySize. I'm not that much wider than average, but I still feel discomfort with "normal ones". I just bought a mixpack and sized up until I stopped feeling strangled. :^)

Edit: Oh, they're non-US only? Get them smuggled in, it's worth it.

condoms fit on human heads, breh. cool that yours is "too big" though lol

[TAJ]

It's funny how I've heard a lot of guys complain about small condoms in certain parts of the world being uncomfortable yet these same guys can't imagine normal condoms where they're from being uncomfortable or painful for guys with elephant dicks.
I buy TheyFit. (semi-custom) I can't say I like them, (Condoms suck in general.) but they're not complete torture like mainstream condoms. Sucks that they're only marketed to Europe now. They used to be easier to get.

LifeStyles Skyn Large is the only brand I've found that fits me comfortably. They are made for thicker penises. I can only find them at Walgreens (and now my local Harris Teeter), but you should be able to find them online, as well.

Everyone, we need to stop ridiculing OP.

'Lukewarm jackhammer dong' or not, we as a community can't just sit on the issue in hand and expect it to shrink away. This member's penis is suffering a colossal injustice, spit upon by corporate simply because outliers like him don't fit into their agenda.

I expect this is actually a huge concern for many on GAF, and OP was one of the few of us brave enough to thrust it directly into our lap to open a channel for discussion. This juvenile pettiness we've displayed at large is only chafing tempers; let's not stroke this match harder against the soapbox, okay?

I got your back, OP. I'll sniff them out for you from here.

I have this problem. Regular condoms, even magnum are tight on me. I can get them on all the way though, that seems like a unique issue. I just deal with the mildly uncomfortable tightness unfortunately. Fuck condoms though.

No. It's about it pinching. Hard. It looks bad, and feels worse. I can't get it more than an inch from the base or so. That's not how condoms are supposed to work. Tight is one thing, penile strangulation is another.

My measurements don't need to be posted here. I've found some resources, and am following up on them.

 

[EviLore]

Who are you telling me that I have no room to debate this with you?

Yes, I read what you wrote. Did you read what I wrote? Her entire lower leg fits so your penis will fit too. A condom will streatch several hundred percents. Discussion over.

Vaginas can dilate enough to pass a baby. Is it a woman's imagination when sex hurts so much it prevents an enjoyable time?

A whole spectrum of condom sizes exists for a reason. The wrong size can be so uncomfortable that sex isn't feasible, can cut off blood flow, can cause friction burns, can prevent erections from being sustainable, and drastically increases the chance of breakage. Sit down and let the adults talk.

 

[Rafy]

OP speaks the truth. Condom companies make a variety of sizes for a reason!

Simple example/personal experience: I am in the EU and my GF at the time was from the US, she brought over condoms when she moved here and they kept breaking on us while the ones bought locally did not. In the end we put the two side by side and the ones bought here were larger in girth and length. Later, we were given a sealed box of Canadian ones by a friend of ours that was not using them and had the same exact issue.

Condoms are made based on the average girth and length of every country. OP is simply above that average and is having issues. You'd be surprised how many people are above average and don't even know it. There was a documentary in the UK about it and turns out most of the people that had issues with condoms were using the wrong size.
