    Condom Size Chart

    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

    For a more user friendly, comparative condom search try our new Condom Size Calculator .

    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.

    Trojan Condom Sizes

    Look!  We have a more in depth version of Trojan Condom Sizes here!

    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.

  • Top Reasons to Wear a Condom

    Here at Condom Monologues we would always recommend that you wear a condom. Obviously the top reasons to wear a condom are to protect you against STI’s (Sexually Transmitted Infections) and unwanted pregnancy. Condoms are the only safe sex option that protects against both.

    However there are a ton of other great reasons to slip on a Johnny before sex. If you’ve had any doubt about using a condom we sincerely hope that these Top Reasons to Wear a Condom will sway your mind…

    1. Trying all the different types of condoms available to you is a fun and exciting task. It can actually spice up your sex life!
    2. Some condoms can actually make sex last longer by slightly reducing sensitivity for guys- Trojan “extended pleasure”.
    3. Many condoms have novelties such as glow in the dark or exotic flavors.
    4. As pregnancy is highly unlikely whilst using a condom you are free to enjoy the sexual experience with no worries.
    5. Condoms make making love a clean ordeal, so often more enjoyable. Your ejaculation is stored neatly in the head of the condom and can be just thrown away.
    6. Intimacy can be increased as having a condom shows your partner that you are sensible and therefore more trustworthy.
    7. Condoms have almost 0 side effects compared with some other contraceptives. That is unless you are allergic to latex but there are options available for you too!
    8. Condoms are often cheaper than other forms of contraception and can be found almost anywhere.
    9. The morning after pill is unlikely to ever be needed and this reduces stress.

    I hope you enjoyed these top reasons to wear a condom, any questions at all please leave a comment or contact us direct.
