Condoms come in different sizes and choosing the perfect fit for you will increase both comfort and their effectiveness in protecting you from Sexually Transmitted Diseases. If the condom is too tight it may broke, and if it is too loose it may slip off. So, the better your condom fits, the safer your sex is. This article and this site will try to help you in choosing the best fit for you.
Different Condom sizes
As you probably know, there are the basic size condoms, but there are also the snugger fit condoms which are smaller in dimensions, and XL versions for above average penises. Their length varies from 7 to 8.1 inches, and width from 1.75 to 2.25 inches. Some condoms are designed that their width is not equal to the head and the base of the penis, and thus provide greater comfort and enjoyment (for example Trojan Her Pleasure Ecstasy Ultrasmooth Condoms).
| Snugger | Standard | Larger | |
| Condom length (in) | 7 to 7.8 | 7.25 to 7.8 | > 8.1 |
| Condom width(in) | < 2 | 2 to 2.12 | > 2.12 |
Condom size survey
A survey made by Durex, reported that the length of an erect penis can range from 4 to 9 inches, while penis width varies from 1 inch to 2 inches (and more). From nearly 3000 survey respondents 50% felt that the regular condoms didn’t fit properly:
– 25% of them complained that the condoms were “too tight”
– for 10% condoms were “much too tight”
– for 15% condoms were “too loose”
44% reported they had experienced condom slip or break in the past.
Now, that we covered why it is important to choose the best fit, lets see how to choose it.
How to choose the best size condom for you?
Finding the best fit takes a little of measurement and some experimentation.
- Firstly, measure the length of your fully erect penis. The ruler should be positioned at the base. Mark how far it is to the tip.
- Then, measure the girth of your penis. You can use a piece of string. Loop it once around the thickest part of the shaft of your erect penis. Measure it.
- Now you can compare your length and girth with the average. The average erection is around 5.1–5.9 inches in length and 4.85 inches in girth (from 4.7–5.1 in). If your measures are close to the average, a standard sized condom should be fine. If you’re significantly outside these ranges, consider a different size.
The best way is to experiment – buy several condoms and try which one feels best.
The condom should completely cover your penis, but it should also leave some space at the tip for ejaculate. The Condom size chart below will give you good comparison between different condoms, and you’ll get a good idea which condom could be the best for you.

[…] how choosing the best fit according to your size increases the condom effectiveness. Therefore, condom size is the first parameter one should think of when seeking for the best […]
I don’t know how to measure width. From the top or bottom? I tried once, I looked like my penis is 1.75 inches wide, but the girth is 5.5 inches. I don’t know what condom to get. I’ve tried trojan enz and magnum but one felt too tight and the other seemed to slip.
you should measure the girth around the thickest part of the penis, and that could be any part.
according to your girth, you are somewhat larger than average (they say that the average penis girth is 4 to 5 inches)
you can try with the
Lifestyles King XL
or
Kimono MAXX
let me know how they fit
cheers
I’ve tried most condoms out there and I can’t find one that fits just right. Long 7.5″ and girth 6.5 need help!!!
Sorry to reply so late bro, but I figured I may help some other poor lost soul who may have stumbled across this whilst doing a Google search. I run about 7.5″ give or take (gets closer to 8″ the harder I get, like with viagra or something similar) and about 7.2″ in girth. Magnum’s work well for me, and the best are the magnum ultra thing or magnum sheer, which they never offered for the longest time (and no longer carry the sheer). All they had was the standard Magnums, which were as thick as trash bags, so you could basically slam your dick in a car door, and it wouldn’t hurt that bad (exaggeration of course).
When then came out with Magnum ultra thin and Magnum Sheer (which was a polyurethane condom, and by far the best,which they of course no longer make). So you’re best bet is to use the Trojan Magnum’s ultra thin. They work, and they’re perfect for anyone with a dick length over 7″ and a girth approaching that much. Over about 6.5″ in length and 6″ in girth, will give you some problems with regular condoms, especially in exceptionally long sessions. If you can put on a magnum and its still snug and stays on even when you pull on it, you’re good to go. But best to measure first. above 6.5″ long x 6″ in diameter, definite magnum time.
The rest of the condoms you’ll get (some are worse than others) will be what I call “cock stranglers” and will either break completely (leaving nothing but the ring and some tatters left) or they’ll pull on the skin on your dick so bad, it’ll hurt and make it tough to take the time you need to take care of your lady. Nothing like something akin to rubber burn pulling the skin on your dick because the fucking condom is too tight.
Anyway Larry, do what I do: normal trojan magnum ultra thins. You’ll be good to go there bro, I promised. Then when you have a long term girlfriend, you can stop worrying about those, as condoms fucking suck anyhow
Is there any larger sized condom that is straight in shape or that gets wider at the base? Seems like most large condoms are made for more headroom and then taper and get smaller at the base. I need the opposite – my girth is 5.5 inches under the head then gets bigger around the base at 6.75 inches. Either feels tight or makes the condom want to roll back up which isn’t good at all.
Hi John!
hmmm, I think that Trustex Extra Large Condom would be a good choice for you. It’s pretty straight in shape, head and the base have the same width
you can check it out here and let us know how it feels if you decide to try it
Thanks, I’ll give them a try. I looked them up, the head, shaft and base all have a flat width of 2.25 inches. Most other Large/Extra large had a head width of 2.5 and the base tapered to 2 inches. Looks like exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Great! I’m glad I could help
Took your advice and gave Trustex Extra Large Condoms a try. Great quality and they feel great also. The extra base and shaft width make these a much better experience getting them on than the tapered condoms like the magnums. Just purchased the 12 pack this time but next time the 100 pack looks like the real bargain!
Hei, jeg har en normal penis på 6,2 inches, men er noe tykkere enn vanlig tror jeg. får veldig vondt av noen kondomer pga de er for stramme. har en omkrets på 5.8 inches.. Kan noen fortelle meg hvilke kondomer som kunne passe meg, setter stor pris på ærlig hjelp 🙂
Hi, I translated your comment with Google translate. It says: “Hi, I have a normal penis of 6.2 inches, but is slightly thicker than usual I think. get very hurt by some condoms because they are too tight. has a circumference of 5.8 inches .. Can anyone tell me what condoms that could make me appreciate honest help:)”
According to this, you need an extra large condom, like Trojan Magnum XL, Lifestyles King XL, Trustex Extra Large Condom etc.
Visit the condom size chart and check out the Large condoms section for some further suggestions
[…] store will reveal that, among the dizzying number of condom adjectives, none seem to speak to the condom’s size. Unless, of course, you’re talking about the Magnum. But what sense does this make? Sweatshirts […]
i am 17 my gf and were talkimg about havein sex and idk what size condom to get i am around 6.5 to 7inch what size condom do i get
hey Jimmy
the width is more important when choosing a proper fit. if you’re also above average in girth then choose a bigger condom from the condom size chart
If you’re average then you can try the Extra safe condom by Durex. It’s a good choice for a first time
Enjoy it
my penis is 7.2 inches erect and has a girth of 6 inches which condom is right for me?
you should definitely use large condoms, choose from here:
http://www.condom-sizes.org/condom-size-chart/condom-size-chart#large
hi, in 19, my gf wants to have sex, im 6.2 inches long, and 5.2 inches in girth, and just over 2 inches in width, whats the best condom for me.
My penis is 6.5 inches long and 5.5 inches in girth what condom do you suggest I use
You have a very lucky girlfriend. Indeed!
@dylon: you’re just slightly above average regarding the girth (or still within the range with some other studies), but I think you’ll be perfectly fine with a regular size condom. As it’s your first time you could try Lifestyles Extra Strength, it’s a bit thicker than average so it’s reliable, plus it can extend your performance (which is usually not so great in the start). you can check it out here. enjoy it and let us know how it goes
@Carl. you are somewhat above average in girth, so you could try a larger condom, but there is no need for the biggest one. maybe Lifestyles King XL would be fine, you can check it out here. if you decide to try it, come back and share your experience. enjoy!
Hi I’m 15 and I’m curious I want to buy condoms burning don’t know what size in 7.3 or 7.5 inches length and 5.3 inches in girth what codon should I get?? Thanks!
What Trojan condom should I buy?
Not burning I meant to say *but* and not in I meant to say *I’m* sorry I pod is autocorrecting haha
@Brian: no worries for the typo 🙂 Trojan has so many different condoms to choose and try. the one that I wouldn’t recommend is the magnum xxl cause I think it would be too big. what you could do is buy a variety pack and try different trojan condoms. then you’ll see for yourself which one you like best. online condom stores offer such variety packs, for example. Have fun
My penis is exactly 6 inches and pretty thin, what condom do you recommend?
Hi I’m 17 and my girlfriend and I are going to have sex. My penis is 9.7 inches length and 7 in girth. I tried Pure Pleasure XL, but it felt kinda tight. My penis entered her vagina and after a couple seconds it snapped off. I pulled out pretty quick but we don’t want that to happen again.
Bullshit, your penis is probably smaller than your thumb lol
You used an oil-based lubricant like vaseline or baby oil. In sex ed they should have told you that baby oil makes babies. Buy condom compatible lube designed for sex.
Small
I’m asking this for my boyfriend(I’m a girl) he is 8 1/2 in length but ok not positive about the girth cause I hardly know what that is honestly he hardly does either but for 17 he’s still growing in that general area. so I’m curious since he’s 8 1/2 if not closer to 9 in length but he’s pretty thick I want to say possibly 6 girth just by looking at it if not it’s VERY close to that what kind of condom should he get? because I have no clue and neither does he sorry I feel akward cause I’m a girl asking but I’m comfortable with sex and things going with it so
@nick: well, if you’re pretty thin, than you should check the snugger fit condoms. You can find several suggestions in our condom size chart
@atom: hey atom, your boyfriend should obviously need the biggest condom that you could find. have you checked our condom size chart? durex xxl is the longest condom, however I’m not sure if the width would fit him. it’s worth to try
i’m looking for the right size of condom, i’m 8 inches long and about 2 inches in diameter and it curves, any ideas?
i don’t really know the full diameter
I’m 15 length 5 inches And girth about 5 in and about2 inches wide what condom should I try And is that small for my age
My penis length is 9.5 and the girth is close to 6.5. What size should I be using? I’m 17 though.
im 15 I’m 6.5 in. Girth no clue and a large felt tight so do I go bigger
@Jt: that’s normal for your age. regular sized condom should fit you fine
@Billy: look for the extra large ones, look at the condom size chart for some suggestions
@Yohipy: yes, try bigger
My dick seems to be 7 inch tall and 2 to 3 inches wide which condom should I use … And also can jacking off a lot before sex mess sex up …
When does your dick stop growing I am 17 but 7 in seems small to me… What size condom do I use
[…] really important to use them consistently and properly (and also to use the right condom size, remember?). If you don’t use condom in a proper way, then its effectiveness drops […]
i’m 17 and 6.5″ length. I dont know the girth but the width is about 2″ wide. What size/ brand should i buy? Its my first time
Hey Pete I’m 7.7″ long and 5.3″ girth aprox so which is the best condom for me? Thank you very much!
@Jaya: don’t worry, you’re not small, you’re longer than average 🙂
@Robert: you’re a candidate for a larger condom, like Magnum or Trustex Extra Large. check more suggestions in the condom size chart post
Iron Grip is the best smaller sized condom on market.
my penis is about 5.1in when erect with a girth of about 4.4in. I’ve had luck in the past using 52mm width condoms. Anny suggestions if there’s a better one for my size?
I had no idea I was big
no wonder regular condoms always felt so tight
thanks
Hey,
I’m 6 1/4 long and 5 1/4 in gerth.
What size would I need?
@ Gary: Hi, Gary! If 52 mm condoms work for you then stick with them 🙂 However, don’t be afraid to try a tighter fit.
@Brandon: average condom should still fit you although you’re just a little bit above average. if they feel too tight for you then try a bigger one from the condom size chart (subscribe to my newsletter and I will send it to you or check out the condom size chart post), but stay away from the biggest condoms on the list
Hey thanks for this post. I have struggled with condoms being too tight (width) but ok for length. I tried THEYFIT condoms and they fitted me very well, I would recommend them to anybody. The website is theyfit.co.uk I hope that this helps some others here. Keith
Hi, Keith! Thanks for your feedback. I know about them, I’ve been in contact with the founder. Unfortunately they only ship to Europe at the moment. If you plan to order again from them, be sure to check out my special offers page at the top and grab a discount code, they offer a generous discount to my readers (20% off).
There are also My Size Condoms with 7 available sizes (not as much as TheyFit), from 47 mm to 69 mm width, they are available on amazon.co.uk
I have a needle dick with 6.5″ length but a bit less than 4″ in girth . Rather unusual and rather disappointing . Would snugger fit condoms be long enough?
yeah, more than enough

I am 17 and my gf and I had sex for the firsttime recently and the condom broke. I want to find something that will not let that happen again. I’m 8 1/2 long and 5 1/2 in girth.
Hi,
which condom did you use? try one of those larger condoms, like trojan magnum. check out here:
http://www.condom-sizes.org/condom-size-chart/condom-size-chart#large
Also, it’s good to use some water based lubricant if your intercourse last more than 15 minutes, I learned that from my own experience
Ok I’m jus curious bc I’m between 6-6.5 in. Guess depends on the day I guess. About 5.5 gerth and length not rlly to sure, roughly 1.75 to 2 in. I guess. But regular size condoms seem tight, and once killed my erection before I was gettin ready to have sex, talk bout a mood killer lol. But I purchased trojan magnums which seem to do fine but seem to fit great but is that the best condom for me? Jus don’t seem like I should have magnums.
sure man, Trojan Magnum should be a great choice if you’re 5.5 in girth. keep it up.
My length is 6in and my girth is also 6in, what would you recommend?
My length is 5.5-6.0 in and 6 in girth. What would you recommend?
@John and @Dave: my picks would be Trustex or Magnum XXL.
Let me know if you try any of them
want to know what size condom do i need from trojan or durex
am 6 inch-6.5inch lenth is 5’inch when hard
@Brain: 6-6.5 inch in girth? If you’re from US then Magnum XXL. If you’re from EU then there are some other options as well…
Hey
I don’t know what condom size to get can you help me. Im 17 and my length is 9.5 and the girth is 6.8. I tried different condoms and they all seem to be tight and the other ones were to loose. Can you help me out please and thank you 🙂
Hi Jake, I presume you’ve already tried Magnum XXL and Durex XXL? There are some other options from Europe, I’ll send you the details…
7.75 – 8 Inch Length, 6 – 6.25 Girth, 2 Wide…. What do I go to? 😮 Twisted pleasure and under fits way too tightly.. I’ve bought like 3 boxes ; Waste of money.;o
Twisted pleasure is a regular size condom, and you need a large one!
Check out the large condoms section in my condom size chart
Most normal size condoms support the length of my penis I am having trouble picking one that fits comfortably. When I put one on I find myself struggling to get the condom over the head of my penis as well as getting the condom to the base of my penis. I believe In need a larger condom but I am not sure if im big enough.
Hey, I am 18 and I am 6 in length and two in width. ‘ if i measured correctly. ‘ Im not to sure how to measure girth, but is that a bit on the shy side for my age and and what condom should I use ?
Hi, I wrote in this post how to measure your girth (you can loop a piece of string around your penis and then measure the length)…
woops (* just one and ) – typo.
thanks.
im about 2.2″
im 5.75 in length and in girth its 4.75 so which one u think i should get
that’s average. choose one of the standard size condoms (check out my condom size chart), or snugger fit condoms (cause you’re on the lower scale of average in terms of girth)
im 6 inches long but 5.8 in girth what should I use
You can try Magnum Xl, or try finding a 2.36 inch wide condom (around 60 mm) if you can
I’m 6 in. long with a 6.5 in. girth, what would be the best for me?
The widest you can find
Sorry forgot to add that sometimes I have an extra inch in lenght that won’t always be there the next time, would this effect the kind of condom?
length: 5.5-6 in.
girth: 4 in
width: 1.5 in.
for 16 is that good or bad?
what kind of durex condom should i use?
Hi, I’m 7in exactly and my girth is 5.4, what size condom should I use?
Hi, maybe Trojan Magnum if you like flared shaped condoms
i am 14, and right now im very enbarist to tell you this, but im very curios about haveing sex and my girfriend too but im just scared to do it with out condoms, but im also worryed bcuz idk what size i should were. im bout 6 to 6.5 long and about 1.5 to 2in wide. i think theres no condom for my size but just wanna know whats best for me
Hi, I need to know your girth (read above how to measure it) in order to give you any suggestion…
Hi,
Im 11 inch long and 7 in in grith .. whats the recommendations?
My Length is 6.5 inches and 6.1 inche girth midshaft with the base being the same. Which size Condom would be the best for me ?
Pete-
Why don’t you post a conversion chart that takes the circumference and translates it to width? Or better yet put the sizes of the condoms as a circumference measurement – that seems like it would be much more accurate… someone could have a flat penis that may not measure the same as a round one.
Hi Ryan, thank you for your comment, that’s a really good suggestion. I’ve actually included a circumference to condom width chart in my ebook, however I’ll probably add it here as well as not everyone has the time or patience to go through the ebook. Btw, if you’re interested in reading it send me a message… I would like to hear your thoughts about it.
Regarding your second suggestion, most manufacturers display the condom width measured when laying flat, so my guess was that it would be more helpful for guys to know the condom width. It’s easy to calculate the circumference from the width, though (condom circumference is around 2 x condom width)
Yeah but everybody knows that a cylinder has a circumference of width * pi.
Why not write “width / ½ circumference” when showing condom sizes?
maybe you should also point out that condoms roll out, so length doesn’t matter a 7.8″ condom will fit someone with a 4incher as long as the width/girth is right. From your comments, there seems to be a lot of confusion!
good info otherwise!
cheers
You’re right, the width is what’s really important. Thanks for pointing that out!
Hi there. I am 24 years old and my fiancé is 22 and we are both virgins. We are getting married in December and we want to know the right condom for me to prevent pregnancy. My length is 4 and my width is 1.25 and my girth is 4. What would be the best condom for us? Thanks for your help.
Could I please get a response, Pete?
Hi, sorry for the wait. Well the closest we’ve got on the condom size chart is Caution Wear Iron grip with a 49mm flat width (plus two others of similar size – Glyde SlimFit and Lifestyles snugger fit). But it would be even better if you could find a smaller condom, at perhaps 45 or 47 mm! (I have a few suggestions if you’re from the EU). If not, go with one of the above mentioned. Let us know how it goes.
Hey there I’m 17 and my penis is 6.2 inchs long and the girth is 6.5 inches with the width about 2.5, what condom should I be getting and at my age should I expect my penis to grow more?
Hey there. I am 17 years old and my penis is 6.2 inches long and the girth is 6.5 and i think the width is roughy 2.5 but im not sure, what condoms should I try and also should someone my age expect my penis to grow more?
Hey there im 6 inches in length and about 5.5 in gerth what condom size should i get ? Thanks

My penis is 9.5 inches long and 6.5 in girth. I have tried Magnum but they still feel so tight. My girlfriend always says it hurts her too much. Is there any ideas for stretching her out and will some lube help? What lubes work with condoms for guys with large packages.
Yo Peter, yes lube will surey help. but be gentle 🙂 check out my post about using condoms and lube
Hey, I am 15 and growing but I recently got a new girlfriend and she wants to have sex. I am 6 to 7 in length but my girth is a disappointing 3.8 at the base and 4.2 at the top, any help on finding a proper fit?
I measured and it is actually closer to 4 at the base of the shaft and 4.2 and the top of the shaft.
well you can try one of those snugger fit condoms with a 49 mm width (check out the Condom size chart post)
Ok thanks for your help. They work well.
My dick is 5.5″ long and 4.75″ around what should I get?
You there Pete???
Hey Matt, I’m here! been busy…. anyhow… your size is pretty much average. did you check the condom size chart? you can go with any of the regular sized condoms…Cheers!
Hey Pete thanks for the advice what kind should I get if she lasts longer than I do? Any good pointers
well, few things actually… 1) you can try using a condom with a climax control lubricant (eg. durex performax) – those have their disadvatages though. 2) try thicker condom 3) grab this report here
Is 5in length and 2in girth normal

Hi I’m 7in in length and 2 in width what would u recommend
Boy. Or. Girl fast reply
Hi I’m asking this for my boyfriend. We just had sex for the first time together and the condom he used was too tight and broke after a few seconds. I bought it in London so you probably wouldn’t recognize the brand. They were 52mm length and lubricated condoms He’s 7 in. in length and 1.5 in. in width. What condom size/type should he use?
Daniella, Jordan…what’s the circumference?
I am only 16 and my length is a little over 7.5″ my girlfriend and I are thinking about having sex. But I have never bought condoms before and I am limited as to where I can get them. My closest option within walking distance is our BP gas station. But I don’t know what size to buy. Can you help me?
Hi Greg, there are plenty of articles here that will help you get the best experience…start with the Popular posts section in the sidebar (top -right). Good luck 😉
6 inches long and 5 inches of girth. Suggestions?
Plenty to choose from, regular sized condoms should be ok for you (2.1 in/53 mm width)
Hi, I’m 16, 6.9-7.0″ long and 5.3″ girth. What do you recommend? Also, is that a good size? Thank you so much!
that’s slightly bigger girth than average. You can try 55-57 mm condom width
Hey.
I never understand why foreskin is not calculated in the process of choosing a condom.
Example.
I bought Coripa 75p, 29n. Too thick. But perfect fit for the length + foreskin gliding when erect.
The thing is that when you put a condom, you do not want to be cautious about semen getting out of the condom when you continue to have intercourse even after having come.
Most of the condom are max 190mm long for normal width guys.
I bought kimono large microthin. The thing is that I would need 205 mm long condoms without them to be too large. The girth of those condoms is perfect. But when i’m moving in my partner, with the foreskin action, when i’m pulling out and in, the condom cannot be pulled at the base of the penis completely while the foreskin being bunched up at the tip of it. I’m not sure if i’m clear….
Resumé:
I’m searching for a condom that would have those specs:
Length: 8.07″/205mm condoms with
Width: 2.05″/52mm
Head width: 2.34″/59.5mm
Thickness: 0.003″ /0.07mm (or thinner, if possible)
Does that exist?
hey
it’s not the best practice to continue with the intecourse after you’ve come…be careful 😉
regarding you question…well, few condoms from Durex seem to be close to this…eg. Durex Pleasuremax…it’s in the size chart, check it out.
Wonder what condom would fit me about 5.5 inches in length and 5 inches in width
regular sized condoms will be a really good choice
What size condom would you recommend; length 5.9 inches and girth of 5 inches?
. Need. Girlfriend. That. Is. 12or. 13
i’m confused about how to choose a condom based on girth… i’m 6 inches long and 5.5 circumference, meaning i’m 1.75 inches in diameter approx? a lot of condoms seem to either say they’re 2 inches or above in diameter, others 1.5…
my penis is 125mm what size condom to perfect fit
my penis 125mm width 2 inches what size and brand to perfect fit.
My gf and I are going to have sex fit the first time..I’m 5.1 in length and 4 in girth. Which condom would be a good fit for me

hi there im having trouble finding a good condom size its my first time ever so im looking for some help haha , my penis is about 7 inches fully erect and about 2 inches wide ( 60 cm) and girth of about 5.5 please help me

Well i dont know what condom to get im 5.3inches in length and 4inches in girth? Any ideas?
Caution wear Iron grip maybe, it’s 49mm in width. 47mm might be even better if you have a choice…
Hi Im not really sure who Im asking here but Im stuck between going out and buying regular Magnums or the XLs. My penis is 21 cm (8.2 inches) in length and 15 cm (5.905 inches) in girth. Any help is greatly appreciated 🙂
definitely XL 🙂
hi my length is 7.9 inch and my girth is 6 inch what condom should i use
HI, I seem to be in the same boat as a lot of these guys….these charts mention width, but nothing about girth, which would be much more useful in my opinion
Anyway, I have just come out of a 12 year relationship where I didn’t have to buy condoms in that entire time, but now im single I obviously need to get some sharpish lol
After measuring myself with a piece of string and then using that up against a ruler I have arrived at the following measurements :-
length = 7.1-7.7″ (18-19.5 cm…it seems to change depending on just how aroused I am lol)
girth = 6.5-6.75″ (16.5-17.1 cm…this is at its widest point)
What size would I need, as when I use the usual ones, it is sometimes very difficult to get it on, I get many splits, and roll-offs and I really would like to be a bit safer
thanks very much
hey Jason
when producers display condom dimensions they usually put condom width, it’s easier to measure it.
regarding your size, 64 mm or 69 mm condom width should be fine. check out this post and this one for some ideas
hope that helps
Well pete, it looks like im going to have to take your advice O_o
I happened to get lucky this morning with some random hottie and just went and bought some regular ones (durex extra safe)….and the same happened as I remember from all those years ago…struggled to get the thing on in the first place, was very tight indeed and then it split without me noticing (extra safe my a**e) and I had, shall I say…..an accident….which obviously isn’t ideal
Im going to have to go and try to find some wider ones in the hope that it doesn’t happen again
Cheers for the advice, I think im going to need to take you up on it
yes, those are the dangers of misfit condoms…sorry you had to experience it first-hand :/
make sure it doesn’t happen again 😉
cheers!
ps. you don’t beat around the bush obviously 🙂
thanks very much for your help and advice 🙂
I actually live in the Netherlands (although I am English) so i’ll try to find somewhere over here that sells that size
thanks again pete
my pleasure, let us know how it goes
btw, there’s a famous condom shop in Amsterdam called Condomerie, look it up, they’ve got all sorts of brands, sizes…
Oh, i’ll google that shop now and see if I can find it tomorrow 🙂 it seems that most chemists over here only sell the regular ones, that I could see anyway
thanks again for you help and advice, im glad that I took the time to post on here 😀
found it, and ive probably walked past it a fair few times over the years since ive lived here lol
gonna try and pop in tomorrow, if not i’ll do it next week
cheers again, you have been really very helpful 😀
awesome! 🙂
well, if you come by again let us know what you’ve found in Condomerie…
anyhow, good luck! 🙂
6.29 inches
Girth 4.9 – 5 inches
What size would you recommend!!!??
Please reply!!!
a regular size should be fine (53 mm condom width)
im 20…. my dick’s lenght while erection is 11cm(4.3inch) and girth is 12cm(4.7inch). Which size should i buy.. plz suggest.
thanks in advance
Hi
well, considering the girth, a 51 mm width should fit, eg. Okamoto Beyond Seven. the length will be little longer than needed though. check it out here
hi pete, just to let you know, that shop in Amsterdam, the condomerie (its on the warmoestraat, close to the dam square end), has pretty much everything 🙂 highly recommended to any of your readers that happen to either live in the Amsterdam area, or are on a visit 😉
I got a they-fit g31, a my-size 69 and a 64
the g31 fitted like a glove, very comfortable, no splitting, didnt feel squeezed at all and there was no sign of slippage….I haven’t tried the ms69 or the ms64 yet, but think the 64 will be a bit small still, so i’ll use that one as an emergency spare lol
i’ll try the ms69 out, and then go and get a pack of whichever one I prefer from that and the g31
cheers a lot…you’ve just potentially saved me from years of frustration and worry lol
superb!
thank you for the update, this will be very helpful to guys who live nearby, or happen to visit Amsterdam (it’s on my list as well and this is one more reason to make it sooner than later)
I’m glad I could point you in the right direction 🙂
cheers!
I’m 14 and I have a 5.7 inch penis with 4.5 girth and 1.5 width I need to know my size and I need a condom that helps me last longer
regarding size…50-51mm width is recommended for that girth, but if you want a condom with climax control lubricant, try Durex Performax or Trojan Extended Pleasure.
they have a width of 52mm which is close enough, but try it for yourself…
I’m 19 and I have a 7.2 long with 5.2 girth and 1.85 width. what condom should i use?
maybe Durex maximum Love or Lifestyles KYNG…check out more suggestions here
Hi, I’m 17 with a 6.8 inch long penis, but also a 6 inch girth maximum around halfway up the shaft. I’m just curious as to what condoms I should look into, given that I will be entering college soon and currently have a girlfriend, although I’m not sure if she’d be willing to have sex. I’d really just like to be prepared for when things happen. I’ve been thinking that the Lifestyle King XL condoms would be right, but would like your recommendation. Thanks for the help!
My length is 6
girth is 5
Width is 1.6
What should I get ?
My sizes are Length – 5.3 and Diameter – 4.8 so am I a standard ?
yes 🙂
Hi, I’m somewhere between the 7.25 and 7.5 mark in length, and the Trojan ultra-thin seems to fit well, but the ultra-thin part is kinda worrisome, does it pose a significant danger?
Thanks
don’t worry man, if the fit is right it will do the job.
btw, it’s really not much thinner than a regular Trojan…and even condoms as thin as 18 micronswork well.
ps. some extra lube is always good to use
My penis is 8.6 inches in length and almost 5.5 in girth what do I wear?
hm, maybe Durex XL, it’s the longest one on the chart (US)
I have a 7 1/2 inch in length and a 6 in girth what would i need to get?
Hey my length is 6.3inches and my girth is 5.6inches what size condom should i use?
Thank you
Hi this will be my first time having sex I have a 6 1/4 inch and a 5 1/4 girth what should I use.
I have 9.6 in and 7.5 in girth. Whats the right condom for me and my wife to have sex. Im 19
I’m 5.5 to 6 in length what’s the best condom for me
Full length when erect= 6.5 – 7 inches
Head= 1.8 inches width and 5 inch girth
Shaft= 2 inches width and 5.5 inch girth
Base= 2.3 inches width and 6 inch girth
Need your help on finding the best fit condom Pete. Tried Trojan MAGNUM Gold Collection and they fit pretty well. Problem is that the base is just a tad tight but I guess I can work with that. The major one is that the head part of the condom seems a bit loose and seems like its sliding off at the tip. I’m not sure if I’m putting it on right since I have a uncircumcised penis. Thanks for your help in advance! 🙂
Hi Kam,
yes, the Magnum has a flared shape, some guys like more freedom at the top, but this doesn’t sound like the best option in your case.
I would rather suggest a straight fitting condom, eg. Trustex Extra Large, in case you don’t like a loose head part
Length= 7 inches long and 2 inches wide, Head= 5 inches girth and 1.8 inches width, Shaft= 5.7 inches girth and 2 inches wide, Base= 6 inches girth 2.3 inches wide. Tried Trojan MAGNUM Gold Collection and they seem fine but just a bit loose at the head part. Seems to only slip from the head a bit but maybe that’s because I’m not circumcised? What other condom what you recommend to try out in my case? Thanks in advance.
hey im not sure what condom to get im 5 inches hard or whatever but i measured my width and it said 4 inches so what condom should i get..
you mean circumference/girth? if your girth is 4 inches go with the small condoms (49mm width or less)
Okay, so my girlfriend and I are planning to have sex for the first time and I want to find the right condom size. I bought and tried on some trojan bare skin ones, but they felt really tight and wanted to slide off. What condom would you recommend? im 16 and have a penis length of 6.2″ inches and a girth (circumference) of 6.1″ inches. Id prefer something thinner and pleasureable for us both, but safety comes first.
I don’t know where you’re from, but for that girth a 60 or 64mm condom width would be a good choice. Check the large sizes sections above, there are no 64mm options there as they are not available in the US yet, so go with the largest width that you can find
Thankya sir. Im from the southern U.S. And the only problem I can imagine is that the large condoms may fit the girth, but a lot of them are for longer than 6 inches… would this be a problem? I’ve been told that the last thing you want is to long of a condom because it would feel like a plastic bag for the girl, which is not something I want. Based off of this, is there a pretty common brand name that you’d recommend? I was thinking Trojan magnum larges or XLs.
well, of course, it would be better if the length would fit as well, but that’s not such a big deal. the misfit width is a bigger issue/risk (slipping, breaking). yeah, you can try Trojan magnum for start, it’s the easiest to find.
hi my circumference is 5.5inch and i really dont know wich one to take any suggestions?
check here 😉
Could you please help me find a snugger fit condom with extra strength? I don’t know if any exists but I really prefer extra strength for added protection. Thanks
Lifestyles Snugger Fit and Caution Wear are 0.07 mm thick. Extra strong condoms are usually 0.08 mm thick. this is really small difference. I think you have nothing to worry about, you can use any of those two mentioned.
if you want some extra protection you can also use spermicidal lubricant
Hi everyone, my boyfriend needs help finding the perfect condom size. We discovered that the Trojan ultra thins would cut of his circulation so we upgraded to Trojan XL. We usually don’t use condoms unless for this instance the pharmacy has been closed for a couple days. The XLs are making his penis turn purple and leave a really deep ring. He’s an average length of 6 inches and a width of 6 as well. The width is obviously the issue, but what condom would make him comfortable?
I’m about 5.5in in length and a little over 5in in girth and I’m 14 what condoms should i get also side question are these measurements small for my age?
you can go with a regular size, 53 mm or 54 mm width. there are plenty of choces here
I have used normal sized condoms and had them ride up on the base when more vigorous intercourse is being performed. I used one of my roommates magnum and this did not happen no matter how vigorous we got. I got more magnums and the same thing. The condom always stayed in place and secure. Does this make sense? Is the regular size riding up because it is too snug at the base, like a shirt that is too small riding up? P.S. I tried Sir Richards brand and there regulars were too small, the Extra Large fit well.
Pete,
This website is the most comprehensive and informative information on condoms that I have found. I am completely impressed that you have been maintaining this site and comment section actively for almost 3 years. I cannot even begin to imagine how many men you have helped here, including me!
I am also amazed at how many people cannot use the vast resources here to figure out their needs without your guidance!
That being said, I have a question that I have not seen here (unless I overlooked it). If you measure the “girth” or “circumference”, using a simple formula C/Pi, you should have your “width” or “diameter”. However, your “Finding Your Perfect Condom Size…” chart shows suggested condom widths as higher than the width of the penis.
For example, a 6″ girth would yield a diameter of 1.9098 “, yet the chart suggests 2.37″ – 2.53”.
Would you mind explaining the discrepancy?
Thank you again for your service to men everywhere!
-JJ
wow, that’s definitely the nicest comment I ever received! 🙂 thanks a lot James, I really appreciate your support!
re: your question…I think we’re mixing some things here. I guess you are using this formula:
http://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/images/pi.gif
But the condom width is measured when the condom is flat so this is actually a semi-perimeter of a condom (half-circumference).
So if we take a condom with a flat width of 2 inches…its circumference is 4 inches. And the diameter is 1.273 inches.
According to a study the perfect ratio between a condom and penis circumference should be from 80 to 90%.
I wrote something about this before – in this post.
If the ratio is below 80% the risk of breakage appears and vice verse, above 90% there’s a risk of slippage.
So that condom with a 2 in width would be perfect for a guy with a 4.7 in girth
hope this makes it a bit more clear how I got those numbers in the chart…
Hi I’m 16 and my girlfriend and I want to have sex but definitely need the best condom for me, my circumference is 4.8 inches do you have any suggestions?
a regular sized condom, maybe lifestyles extra strength – link

snugger fit condom with a 47-49 mm width
Hey Pete!
So I remeasured everything and I am 6.5 in length with a 5.5 girth! I know it’s a hassle asking you when you’ve done such a good job with this website and even created a condom size chart but I would really like to know what condom I should use. And I would want to try and make sure it’s Trojan or durex 🙂 thanks for your time!
hey man! well, if you want to stick with those big brands, than Trojan Magnum or Durex XL (they are a bit longer, but the width should fit you)
7in length and 6.1 in girth…..is that small, average, or above average and which condom should I try??

I’m 8 inches long, 2 inches wide and 6 inches around. I use the Magnums.
Hey I’m about average length but my girth is 6inches. Which condom should I use for a comfortable fit? Thanks for your help!
Hi my name is Josh. My penis is 6 inches in length. The exact circumference and such is unknown for me. I was given Magnum Condoms is that appropriate?
Hey, I’m about 5 Inches Erect (Proud of it!), I guess my girth is around 4 inches then. Which type of condoms do you think would be most appropriate for me?
Thanks!
a snugger fit condom. 47mm width or less. you can find them in Europe. you can read more here about how to get these
you guys might find this wierd but im 15 and 6 1/2 inches in length 4 6/8 girth….I thought I was kinda small but seeing the stats boosts my moral/self esteem
My length is 5.75 inches and my girth is about 4.5 inches what size should I get
a 51mm width would be a good choice. maybe Okamoto Crown, check it in the size chart
I am 12 and have a 3 inch tall which condom is the smallest
smallest condoms have a 41mm width, they are available in Europe, but should hit the US market soon. more info here
What is the smallest condom
I really need help, I have a very massive…erm genetalia (14 inch errect, 8.1 flacid) I can’t find the right condom I tried magnum xl It does not match my 8 inch it only goes half way my girlfriend is really..erm horny (Can’t find the right words) and I want to please her I need help its my first time im 17.
Does your nephew use your cock as a skipping rope then
My penis is 7 inches on bone but I have a wart which increases it to 8.2 and my lady loves it, also my cock has a 51 degree angle in it
Hi im 17 and im getting ready to have sex with my gf for the first time. It will be first time for both of us so which condoms should i get? My girth is 5.7 inch and length 6.4 inch. Problem is in my country i can only get durex and maybe some trojan.
hi, according to your girth a 58mm condom width should fit you. we have both trojan and durex charts, so you should be able to find something 😉
Thanks man 😀 so durex elite or ultra thin should work? not really large choice here :/ i don’t want to pick up pleasuremax or something like that ribbed because i don’t think it would be good for her first time… am i wrong?
regrading ribs, I don’t think it will make much difference if it’s your first time 🙂 pick at least 56mm width or more. Durex condoms slightly vary in width from market to market so be sure to double check in the store (Durex usually displays nominal width on the packaging)
My penis is 4.75 inch length and 3.95 inch wide. What condom should I use?
I’m 9.6 inches long and 6.4 inches thick which should I get?
Hi my penis is 4.47inch length and 50mm width what last longer condoms should I use help me plz
what’s your circumference/girth?
What kind of ruler should I use to find the length of my penis
Hey I have a date this next weekend and I was wondering what size condom I should wear I am seven inches in length and five in girth. Thanks for any help!
a regular condom (53mm width) should be fine
6 in. Length and 4.75 in. Around. Keep getting confused as to what I would need
a regular condom (52 mm width), check out the size chart
Hey Pete! I’m 19 years old, and very close to 7in in length and am 5.75in in girth at the base. Near the top it’s about 5in in girth. I’ve tried Just regular Trojan elastic condoms and they were way too tight. So I tried Trojan Magnums but they still feel too tight and the ring leaves a mark at the base where it was. What should I try next?
I also seemed to never be able to climax with the magnum condom on. I tend to get softer instead of harder while I’m having sex. Which probably indicates it’s too tight. What do you think? Thanks!
hey Jack. durex xxl and trustex extra large are slightly wider than magnum at the base, I’d recommend you try these. however, they might still be a bit too tight. if that’s the case, then I can only recommend that you purchase a 60mm width condom from abroad
Thank you very much! Sorry, I didn’t see my comment appear so i tried to send it again. I’ll try these!
Hi I’m 6.5 in length and 5 in girth. What condom should I buy? Help!!
Hey guys im only 14 ( so a bit young for going into a store yet) i am 7.4″ long and 2″ wide with a 5″ circumference i would like to know what to size to buy ( parents want me protected) and is this above average cause the girls who have seen it say it looks large ( no penetration just oral) so if somone could help me that would be great
hey, yes that’s above average for your age. however, the standard/regular sized condom would be a good match (53 mm width – Trojan ENZ and similar).
Joe, this also applies to you
I am 6.2′ long, 1.7′ wide, and 5.3′ girth. I would like to know what size to buy because I’ve never bought condoms before and I don’t want to be spending all my money trying to figure out what condom to buy.
try with 56mm width, plenty of choices in the size chart
Hi, I have very specific needs in condoms that I’m not quite sure exists. I’m 6.5 inches (165mm) in length and 5.5 inches (58mm) in girth, and on top of those proportions need a latex-free condom. Are there any options for me? Please help, all my research has led to nothing yet!
Trojan Natural Lamb (not effective against STDs) or Lifestyles Skyn Large (might be a bit too snug)
Hi my names gavin and i just turned 16 and me and my girlfriend wanna celebrate so im looking for a condom ive never tried any on but i’m about 51/2 to 6 inches and 1 1/2 to 2 for girth also im wondering if ill grow anymore or when i’ll stop and is that average
My penis length is 7inch and my circumference around is 6 inches. What condom should I get?
I’m a 14 yr old teen. Me, and my girlfriend are thinking about having sex. My penis is about 7 inches in lengh, and 5.1 inches in girth. Exactly what condom size should I use. I really need the help 😔
hi, you can pick out a condom from the regular size section
So I am trying to find the best condom for me. I am about 5.75″ in girth, but only 7″ in length. What would you, or anyone in this situation recommend.
Joey and Miguel – a custom fit condom would be your best bet, as even the biggest condoms mentioned above might be too snug.
if you’re limited to just the major brands then pick out condoms with the biggest width that you could find (58 -64 mm width). eg. Magnum XL. here’s another option
Hi I’m 17 and the last 3 standard Durex condoms I’ve used have ripped. My dick is 8 inch long and 5.9 inch girth so what condom should I use? thanks
hi, for a 5.9 inches girth a 60 or 64 mm condom width is recommended. check out the answer above
Hey there. I’m trying to find the right condom like everyone else here. I’m 7.8 inches long and 5.5 inches in circumference in the middle an head with the base being 6.0. What should I buy? I was think Trojan Magnum but I don’t feel like a magnum guy
My penis is like a bicycle kick stand. What condom is best for a needle dick?
Hey Pete. I’ve been reading over this and some of the comments but just wanted to see if you could give me a direct answer about what condom size I should where. I’m 5.10/.20 in Long and 4.75/5 in girth. Would regular condoms do the job? And honestly I get pretty worried about the protection part so any specific condoms to fit the need?
yes, a regular condom will do the job as your numbers are withing the average size range. there are plenty of options, check out the size chart or the calculator tool
