Condom Sizes

Using a condom could be one of the most sensible decisions of your life, saving you from STI’s and unwanted pregnancy. However without looking at the correct condom sizes your efforts could prove useless. The wrong size condom can easily break (too big or too small).

Well I guess you know that already and that is why you are here looking for your condom size! So let’s get on with it.

You need to measure your penis first so you can compare against condoms. Many condoms have their exact measurements on the back or available so once you have your penis size it makes the process of getting the correct condoms much faster.

To measure your penis you need the length and girth and head circumference if you really want.

The length should be measured from the point where your penis meets the bottom of your abdomen (the base) to the absolute end point of the head. You want the condom to reach right to the base.
To measure your girth you should get a piece of string or a measuring tape and measure the circumference around the thickest part of your penis.
The same can be done with string or a measuring tap at the thickest part of the head of your penis.

Now with your measurements you can find your range of condom. Many condoms simply come in small, medium or large but often they have mm x mm measurements available.

You want a condom to fit snugly but not create any pressure. Also it should not go baggy anywhere as the looseness could cause rubbing during intercourse that will break the condom.

To help you find condom sizes correct for you we have a condom sizes article with many of the sizing information for the 3 major brands condoms.

The importance and how to of Condom Sizing

When using a condom it’s almost as important as using a condom to pay attention to the condom sizing. If you don’t the little rubber friend can be rendered completely useless and result in the spread of infection or pregnancy. Condom sizing varies a lot from brand to brand and also from model to model (not sure types of condoms can be called models but you get the point!), so it also pays to test as many as you can over a period of time before you settle on one specific condom and buy in bulk.

How do you work out condom sizing?

The first thing you need to work out is your penis size. From there you have a definite size guideline to buy condoms from and you reduce the risk of wasting money.

Measuring your penis is easy but you have to do it right. You need either a soft measuring tape or a piece of string and a flat ruler to measure the string against. First you need to measure the length of your penis. Put the measuring tape or string at the very base of your penis and measure up to the very tip making sure it’s central and you get the correct length. Jot that length down. Then you need the circumference at the base. This is done by measuring all the way around your penis at the lowest convenient point. At this stage you could also measure the circumference at the head.

Now to get the correct size you just need to look on the back of the condoms and see if the sizing is close to yours. You can also head over to our condom size chart and some of the major condom sizes.

In more detail, why condom sizing is important!

It’s easy to force a condom that is too small on or wear a baggy condom with the attitude that it’s covering at least. However when those condoms break and you get or pass on an STI or get somebody pregnant you cannot blame the condom. I would have a bet that a large proportion of broken condom statistics is due to incorrect sizes being used.

Sex is fun but the consequences are series and most of these worries can be alleviated by just being sensible and getting things like your condom size right.

A condom that is too tight can easily rip. A condom that is too loose or too short can let semen escape from the bottom or rip due to folding. Plus ill fitted condoms simply do not allow the sexual experience to feel as good as it should.

Be smart and be safe. Thanks for reading and let me know you thoughts.

Trojan Condom Size Chart

Trojan is the USA’s most popular brand. With over 40 products in their range and a brand known by pretty much every American, Canadian and much of the rest of the world you would think that a simple Trojan Condom Size Chart would be easy to come by! Well Trojan don’t offer anything of the sort. If you check out our article Condom Size Chart you will see that we have collated the info together to give you the best information we can on Trojan, Durex and Lifestyles, the 3 major brands in USA.

Trojan are an awesome brand and I can attest that they have great products and I have been able to find more than one of their products that fits me well enough to not be of discomfort or a hindrance to the moment! Or anymore of a hindrance than a condom is already. Luckily much of their branding and product line is pushed towards trying to make the condom itself part of the moment, something that is very important in encouraging young people to use condoms and not take unsafe sex options.

If anyone from Trojan reads this post then here is a very simple request. When a potential customer comes to your website they will often need to get more details than Small, Large, Extra Large etc etc. A comprehensive and often updated table of the sizes for the range is all that is needed. This information is easy to obtain by your company and it would be minimal cost to get someone to type it up and check over it once every month or so. Good idea hey?

In the meantime we will endevour to find updated info and keep any readers here up to date.

Thanks for reading and please let us know your experiences with Trojan or indeed any condoms that you have used.

Condom Size Chart

Due to the fact that every penis is different, one single comprehensive condom size chart seems impossible. Yet when it comes to condoms, size (and shape) is everything- for effective protection, comfort and pleasure. This article aims to consolidate info about each leading U.S. brand’s size schemes, hoping to lessen the confusion over what fit is the true fit for men.

** Please note that this article will be updated whenever we get new sizes, brands or information. We will also eventually like to include dental dams sizing. So please subscribe to our RSS feed **

This is not a condom company endorsement! Simply due to the fact that the major brands in the U.S. are Durex, Trojan and Lifestyles, our first aim is to gather sizing information from these brands.

Identify your penis size according to the average rubric most condom companies follow. Here are two charts created from a Lifestyles 2001 study. Facts are sourced from Wikipedia’s article “Human penis size“.

The study found that the average penis length was 14.9 cm (5.9 inches) and the average circumference being 12.6 cm (5.0 inches) – see the chart below. 401 college students volunteered to be measured during their 2001 Spring Break in Cancún, Mexico, of which 300 gained an erection to be clinically measured (without any pharmacological aid). The 300 effective measurements makes this study double the size of any prior study that used medical staff to measure penis size.

Now onto the condom size chart for major U.S. brands:

Lifestlyes condom size chart

We are researching further into the sizing of Lifestyles Condoms. They’re particular difficult chart, since most of their condoms are not shown with dimensions. You can check out our Condom Brand Reviews page, join the discussions and give us your ratings on Lifestyles and other brands.

From the limited information we have gathered, most Lifestyles Condoms are tailored towards the “average” penis size determined by their 2001 study discussed above: The average condom length at 7.0 inches; the average width at 2 inches. However,

LifeStyles® Snugger Fit has a tighter width.

LifeStyles® His & Her Pleasure has an oversized tip. Funny enough, this condom is larger than Lifestyles King Size XL.
