Measurement Tip:
The average condom length is 7.5″/190.5mm. Girth is important (see our guide for measuring penis). The average condom base width is between 50.8mm – 53mm (width is measured by the condom lying flat; it is not the circumference). To understand if your girth fits condom width simply divide your penis circumference by 2.25 (How did we get this number? Read here).
Preferences will vary, but our general rule is if you measure less than 4.8 inches (approx 121mm) in girth, go with a snugger fit. Fit you are wider than 5.15 inches (130mm), select XL or KYGN. Trojans and Durex XL sizes tend to be slightly larger than Lifestyles.

The Legal Stuff: Age of consent and medical advice
The size charts are made for you to consult and hopefully find the brand that suits within your size range and needs. If you cannot find the answer to your question, just ask. But please be aware that we do not condone sexual activity of under-age males and females in state or country. Also, we are not medical professionals. We offer opinions from personal experience and research. Professional advice should always be sought.
A study published in June 2012 argues that penis shape and size must be taken more seriously by public health officials and activists who aim to increase consistent and correct condom use. Researchers Michael Reece and Debra Herbenick of Indiana University found a substantial percentage of men reported condoms being too tight, too loose, too short, too long, breakage, leakage…basically, general condom discomfort that can result in misuse or disuse, which translates into a serious public health issue.
The majority of condom products are fitted for “average” length at 6.4 inches when erect (see the Kinsey report and The Simple Truth about Erect Penis Size). However, as Reece and Herbenick found, length of the condom is not the greatest discomfort; rather, it is fitting around the head and shaft that scored highest among complaints, with penis base at a close second. For example, of those men who reported that condoms were too tight, 66% reported tightness around the base, 70.4% around the glans, and 73% around the shaft.
The study concludes that HIV and STI practitioners must get involved with condom manufacturers to ensure that condoms are consistent with men’s experiences of fitting and pleasure. Indeed, no matter what size, all men should have access to well-fitting condoms.
Quick Tip! The FC2 internal condom is one size fits all. Because it’s made to form to the inner walls of the receptive partner, penis size is irrelevant. This is a great solution for those fitting woes.
Sizing
To know which condom width fits, we recommend dividing penis circumference by 2.25.Here we explain where we got this formula.

Given the wide range of condoms on the market, prevention providers can play a valuable role in helping men to identify condoms that suit their size specificities, hence increasing the likelihood of consistent condom usage. For a large proportion of those who reported tightness around the glands (70%), for example, HIV and STI prevention providers may alleviate men’s perceptions that condoms all are too tight by recommending condoms that are designed with a more bulbous head to reduce constriction. As our chart shows below, Durex condoms and One Condoms tend to offer a greater variety in contoured shapes and head room.
Here we have organized a list of condoms according to the 4 “problem points” identified in Reece and Herbenick’s study. Under each complaint we provide a list of condoms by brand that may help alleviate discomfort.
Please note: External links may be affiliates that give us a small commission. This is not a company endorsement. Due to the fact that major North American brands are Durex, Trojan, Lifestyles, Beyond 7 and Caution Wear, our first aim is to gather these dimensions. We continue to update.

Condom Monologues is thrilled to announce that our Condom Size Chart is up-to-date! This is our most popular post so we think it crucial to keep it spick and span. It includes objective measurements researched by CM’s staff of all the latest condom products from North America’s top three brands: Trojan, Durex and LifeStyles. And we provide links to other works at CM depending on how in-depth you want to know your condom before using.
This is not a company endorsement. We do not cater support for one condom company over another. Instead we offer this as a map to help guide through the frustrating aisle of condoms where each product self-proclaims to be the “Thinnest”, “Most Sensitive”, “Ultra Pleasure” out there. We hope this size chart continues to help find suitable condoms and experience new pleasures.
This article aims to consolidate sizing info from leading brands. We hope to lessen the confusion over what’s “snug”, “regular”, and “XL”. Last updated: 14 February 2014
When it comes to condoms, fitting matters for effective protection and pleasure. Considering the array of choices and the fact that every penis is different, finding the right condom can be daunting (but also fun!). The best thing to do is experiment and keep an open mind to new brands, contours, textures.
Measurements here are from our self measurements or from our trusted affiliates at Lucky Bloke and Undercover Condoms. The reported width is measured by condoms laying flat, so it is not the circumference. To understand if your penis girth fits condom width simply divide your penis circumference by 2.25. How did we get this formula? Read this post for research details.
We also supply an ill-fitting solutions chart for those who find condoms tend to be too loose, too tight, too short or too long.
Now onto the condom size chart for major U.S. brands

Trojan is the number one US condom brand. Their website is a visual treat. However, sizing is not as comprehensive as Durex. They classify their condoms in Regular, Large and Extra Large. The shortest and most slender condom they offer is 7.9″/200mm long and 2.0″/52mm base width (which is the standard “regular” size for most condoms). The longest and widest Trojan size is Trojan Magnum XL, (8.3″/210mm long and 2.3″/58mm base width and a whooping 2.5″/64mm head width).
Below is a list of how each product fits under Trojan’s “Regular”, “Large” and “XL” scale. For more details on each Trojan condom, check out our Trojan Condom Size Chart.

Kimono condoms tend to have a reputation for being tighter than the average condom on the US market. We’ve structured our size chart based on sources such as Kimono’s website, Undercover Condoms and Lucky Bloke. But first a brief profile of the Kimono brand:
Kimono Condoms
Kimono condom company separates itself from other condoms as being akin to the silky light robe made from exceptional skill. Hitting the market in 1987, they are the pioneers of super thin condoms, producing latex that is 20% thinner than standard condoms. Kimono indicates on its website that it is vegan-friendly, which means that they are not made with milk powder or casein – a milk protein – of which most latex condoms contain. Kimono are also the first condom brand to stop using nonoxynol-9 spermicide.
Kimono Condom Size Chart
Our size chart is organized by sizes and texture. While Kimono does not offer “small”, they do make a snug shaped condom that is the same length and width of a “regular”, but with an indented shape for a tighter fit below the head. Our dimensions are verified by Undercover Condoms, Lucky Bloke and the Kimono website. Length is an approximate measurement of maximum roll from the head reservoir tip to base. Base width is measured by the condom lying flat; it is not the circumference.
Quick Tip! To know what condom width fits, divide penis circumference by 2.25. Read how we got this formula.

For a younger audience, here is one place to start: SEX etc. and for all ages Planned Parenthood is highly recommended.
Some argue that there is little difference between “XL”, “Large” and “Regular” condoms and that condom size is just a marketing ploy to feed “big” egos. In some ways, this is true. Check out our guide for converting penis size to condom width. The table shows that there is a lot of overlap between condom sizes.
We at Condom Monologues vehemently debunk the size-matters-myth. However, we DO agree that condom size matters for safety and pleasure. Too baggy and the condom bunches and slips off; too tight and it pinches and rips. Any man who is extremely larger than average (between 5″-6.0″ long) and has used a regular size condom knows what we are talking about when we say “pinch”. In fact, a recent study by Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction found that 44% of males felt that the last condom they used did not fit and was typically tighter rather than loose-fitting.
People have been asking how BIG the Trojan Magnum XLreally is compared to other condoms on the market. There are a lot of conflicting measurements and reviews out there; some reporting it as the widest condom; that it’s ideal if you are particularly thick; others say it is thinner and shorter than its competitor, Durex XXL. One personnel from the Trojan marketing team even stated to NY Times that “you don’t have to be an overly endowed man to use a Magnum and enjoy it” (NY Times 2010).
Unfortunately, Trojan’s doesn’t offer standardized dimensions. They just classify condoms as “Regular”, “Large”, and “XL”, with no indication of actual size and shape.
Here we pooled our research to offer objective info (we are not affiliated with any manufacturer) on the Magnum story: Why it was made, how popular it is, and how do its dimensions compare for those who need larger than average protection. Please let us know whether this article has been helpful.
Further recommendations for larger, wider, and longer condoms can be found at our Solutions Size Chart. Or try our latest tool, the Condom Calculator (launched Oct 2013) and our Table Converter for penis girth to condom width.
XL History
The Magnum line was introduced in the USA in 2001 and its popularity has grown to jumbo proportions. According to NY Times, Magnum alone (not including other Trojan products) holds 18% share of the total condom market in 2010. That is impressive considering that Durex has 14% of the USA condom market. This demonstrates that there is a great demand for XL condoms and makes us wonder why there are not more companies offering XL.
How XL is it?
Well, this may seem to be a straight forward answer, but unfortunately, there are a lot of conflicting measurements across the web. And really, everyone is endowed with different preferences of what feels right for their unique size and shape. So the best thing to do is test run a sample pack of large condoms.
We’ve pooled together 7 different sizes from seven different sources (including undercover condoms, condom jungle, wow condoms, condom elite and others) and identified the smallest to largest measurements reported. We also searched community forums and product reviews.
We conclude that the Trojan Magnum XL is approximately 2.3″/58mm base width and 8.5″/216mm length. This is about .5″ wider and 1.0″ longer than regular condoms. If you are are 5.3″/134mm or larger in girth, the Magnum XL may be the best option for you.
Using a condom could be one of the most sensible decisions of your life, saving you from STI’s, disease and unwanted pregnancy. However, without looking at the correct sizes, your efforts could prove useless. The wrong size condom will malfunction.
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.
HOW TO MEASURE PENIS SIZE
You need to measure your penis first. Not many condoms companies make their exact measurements available so you need to do some internet research. Our Condom Size Calculator is a great place to start as it allows you to search over 100 condoms at once. When you know your penis size it makes the shopping process of much faster.
To measure your penis you need the length and girth, and head circumference can also help for some men, but is not always necessary.
First of all, your penis needs to be erect.
The length should be measured from the point where your penis meets the bottom of your pelvis (the base) to the very end point of the head. You want the condom to be able to reach right to your base where your public bone starts (No need to stretch over and above the pubic hair!)
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 along the shaft- usually the mid-point.
The same can be done with string or a measuring tape at the thickest part of the head of your penis (if the girth seems significantly different from the shaft).
Many condoms simply come in small, medium or large. It varies from brand to brand, but generally
Small size is 1.60 – 1.9 inches wide at the base (condom laying flat) and 6.7- 7.0 inches long.
Medium size is 2.0- 2.2 inches wide and 7.2 – 7.7 inches long.
Large size is approximately 2.2 – 2.3 inches wide and 7.8 – 8 inches long.
Our general rule of fitting is, if you measure less than 4.8 inches (122mm) in girth, go with a snugger fit. If you are wider than 5.15 inches (130mm), select Large or XL. See our Table Guide converting penis circumference to condom width.
Because condom girth is general reported as the base width- which is measured by the condom laying flat- it can be confusing to translate an exact width that fits your penis girth. As a general guide, we recommend you divide your penis circumference by 2.25.
Why 2.25?
You may be wondering how we got this number. A study by Gerofi et. al. found that the condom circumference should stretch about 10% to 20% the penis girth (see Condom Sizes and Facts for further details about the analysis). Dividing by 2.25 represents a 12.5% a condom stretch, which is within the recommended ratio. It is an approximation and your preferences may vary, as well as the condom brand’s elasticity. It is important to stay within the ratio. A common malfunction is the condom slipping off because the condom is too loose. So it is crucial to be aware of how a condom correctly fits.
HOW A CONDOM CORRECTLY FITS
Now with your measurements you can find the correct range of condoms.
You want a condom to fit snugly but not create uncomfortable pressure. Also it should not be baggy anywhere as looseness could cause slippage and rubbing during intercourse that will break the condom.
There needs to be enough extra room to allow a reservoir tip at the head of the condom that hangs with no air inside. Consider this the sperm pocket. There should be enough material so that you can pinch the tip comfortably with your thumb and index finger.
The condom should unroll all the way down to the base close to where your pubic hair starts. Try not to catch hair inside. It might pull and pinch!
Alternatively, you can read more about condom sizing here and review our fitting solutions chart which suggests specific condoms that are designed to cater for specific needs and solve discomforts such as too tight, too loose, too short, too long. You might also want to see our guide to different condom shapes.
The average condom length is 7.5″/190.5mm. Girth is important (see our guide for measuring penis). The average condom base width is between 50.8mm – 53mm (width is measured by the condom lying flat; it is not the circumference). To understand if your girth fits condom width simply divide your penis circumference by 2.25 (How did we get this number? Read here).
