Well, if you are Durex Avanti you can be transformed at least three times.
As the world’s most widely distributed condom brand, Durex have a lot of strings to their pleasure bow: offering consumers an abundance of various shapes, textures, lubes and sex accessories to choose from. When it comes to latex free options, however, the company puts the onus on just one condom, yet even this single choice is not without confusion. Durex Avanti, previously the name of their latex-free rubber, is in fact a latex condom. The non-latex option has been recently rebranded Avanti Bare Real Feel™. In fact, this latex-free option has been through a few rebranding rotations.
In 2008, it was replaced from being made of polyurethane to synthetic polyisoprene. Polyurethane is a type of soft plastic; polyisoprene is the latest latex-free technology, chemically similar to rubber latex but without the proteins that cause allergic reactions (see our article about the differences). In Europe, the product’s current name is simply, and explicitly, “Latex Free”. The North America version, however, is not so straight forward.
Michael Gesek, from Durex Consumer Relations Canada, explained to Condom Monologues, that when multinational consumer goods company Reckitt Benckiser took over Durex in 2011 they lost supply of the materials to make Avanti Bare and thus it was discontinued in North America. Recently the polyisoprene product was secured again and is renamed Avanti Bare Real Feel. Besides the (longer) new name, nothing is different about this new polyisoprene rubber. It’s now rolling out on store shelves.
However, few consumers know that Durex did not offer latex-free condoms for a period in the midst of company turn over. In fact, Avanti Bare went from being made of polyisoprene to becoming just a standard latex condom. Yet despite this very dramatic product change, Durex kept the name and package similar to the latex free version- as if condom shopping isn’t confusing already!
As expressed by Melissa White, CEO of Lucky Bloke, this move was irresponsible and “a major packaging fail!” In response, Lucky Bloke listed a consumer warning on their site. It’s unclear what Durex’s strategy was for informing the public about this change. One may assume that when Durex lost supply of the polyisoprene condom, they may have sent a notice to selective distributors with the expectation that sellers would inform consumers. To the best of her knowledge, Melissa White does not recall any advanced warning from Durex.
So, please be aware that Durex does offer a latex-free condom now, just make sure not to pick up the former Avanti Bare and read packaging extra carefully!

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.
Do they exist? We’ve been asked this question a few times. It’s hard to believe that the condom market would overlook this specific and important need. Unfortunately, after deep digging we did not uncover a non-latex flavored condom or dam. So what’s the orally-minded to do?
**If you are surprised to hear that people do use protective barriers for oral sex than you need to read our post on why and how to protect yourself. Other trusted resources include Scarleteen and The Body. (Some external links are affiliates).
Skip to the end for more about flavored non-latex sex dams. No flavored non-latex male condoms were found. We searched over 20 condom retail sites, flipped through hundreds of flavored options paraben-free, sugar-free, vegan, organic fruit extracts but it seems non-latex also equals non-flavor. And ditch your resolve to find a dry, non-lubricated, non-latex barrier because those don’t exist either! (see plastic wrap below).
In general, the popular assumption must be that polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms aren’t manufactured with that latexy aftertaste and smell. So what’s the point of flavoring them? Personally, I have never smelled or tasted anything from standard lubricated polyisoprene condoms (so far I’ve only tried original Lifestyles Skyn). Others have stated that polyurethane also has no-to-little scent and taste. But everyone is different. If you do not like the scent and taste of non-latex we have two important suggestions for you.
Left with these non-latex limitation, here are two options (comment below if you have more ideas).
1) Add your own flavored lube.
Flavored lubricants come in all sorts of variety. Rain offers 8 flavored single packs. From Undercovercondoms.com
Think of non-latex as a clean plate that you can fill up with your personal buffet of hundreds of flavors and sensations. Literally hundreds. Flavored lubes are designed for oral sex. Yes, they are safe to ingest (you only need a drop or two). Plus, lube does more than just mask condom tastes nice. It greatly heightens sensation, body heat transfer and can be lots of fun. Experiment! However, you may be allergic to an ingredient such as glycerin or silicon, so check the content. Also, make sure your lube is compatible with polyisoprene or polyurethane barriers.
Here are some recommended flavored lubes from some of our Condom Monologuers. The Sexpert’s personal favorite is K-Y’s Your’s & Mine Kissables, strawberry & chocolate flavor. She also recommends any flavor of the Masque flavored gel strips that you put on your tongue before going down. Other condom monologuers love watermelon, sour apple and very berry. Writer Ams Sweiger also praises flavorless lubes- Ideally water-based, like Astoglide, because silicon can leave a funky aftertaste.
(But not the microwaveable kind! That has holes which STIs and viruses can pass through). Plastic wrap comes lube-free but is compatible with all types of lubricant (oil, silicon and water-based), and it’s the least expensive of prophylactics. You can also easily cut it to the exact size and shape needed. This is a good solution for latex sensitive people who like lubricants and want safer cunnilingus (vulva oral sex; “eating out”) and analigus (anal oral sex; “rimming”). However, plastic wrap is not really recommended for effective protection when giving head (fellatio; “blow job”). Also keep in mind that plastic wrap tears more easily than other non-latex options, so be a bit more tender.
The one flavored non-latex is…
Well, vulvas and buttholes- it’s the Hot Dam! Banana is it’s flavor. However, it looks as though the manufacturer has stopped producing this version as we can’t confirm any retail site with them currently in stock! In other words, Hot Dams are available, but not necessarily with flavor.

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.
Image from @TheyFitCondoms
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.
Options for non-latex condoms today are increasing and more people are choosing non-latex condoms regardless of latex allergies. This is basically because the latest non-latex options are made of material that is softer, thinner, more elastic than latex rubber. In this post, we explain basic facts about non-latex condoms, such as what the differences are between polyisoprene and polyurethane, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of different non-latex options. All condoms, except Lambskin, have the advantage of protecting against both sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancy. Condoms do not require clinical visits, they do not alter hormones nor have physical side effects. Non-latex condoms are a key solution for those who are sensitive to latex. Options include lambskin, polyurethane and polyisoprene condoms, AT-10 synthetic resin and synthetic nitrile rubber. Lambskin condoms, also known as “natural skin” or “sheepskin”, are one of the oldest methods of birth control. They are made of a thin layer of cecum which is part of the sheep’s intestine. The organic matter provides such intimate sensation that many users consider them the closest thing to not wearing a condom. Lambskin condoms are effective at preventing pregnancy. However, they do not prevent against sexually transmitted bacteria or viral infections, including herpes and HIV. Now that there are other latex alternatives, lambskin may decline in popularity as other non-latex options- like polyurethane and polyisoprene- do provide protection against STIs and pregnancy.
They are expensive; approximately $3.00 each compared to the average Trojan latex condom cost of 0.50 each.
Trojan is the only manufacturer of lambskin condoms in North America.
They are not vegan
The first FDA approved polyurethane condom was Durex Avanti in the 1990s. Compared to latex, polyurethane condoms are thinner and do not have a scent. While very durable, polyurethane is less elastic and snug fitting than latex, making the risk of slippage or breakage higher. Thus lubrication (oil, silicone, or water-base) is highly recommended for penetrative sex. In 2009, Durex started manufacturing polyisoprene condoms instead of polyurethane, now called Avanti Bare Real Feel. Today, Trojan SUPRA is the most popular polyurethane condom on the North American market.
Benefits of Polyurethane
Thinner and less odor than latex
Transmits body heat very well
Can be used with oil, silicon and water-based lubricants
They cost more than latex condoms, but are cheaper than lambskin
Ideal for those who prefer less tight, less body forming fit.
Disadvantages of Polyurethane
They are less elastic and are loose fitting compared to latex, thus increasing the risk of malfunction if no lubricant is used.
They are not biodegradable
Not easily accessible in all drugstores or supermarkets
Polyisoprene came on the market in 2008 by LifeStyles SKYN product line, and soon after Durex re-manufactured Avanti Bare Real Feel with the new material. It is a natural rubber that is chemically similar to latex, but without the latex allergens. In comparison to polyurethane condoms, polyisoprene is softer, more supple and form fitting, and slightly thicker (similar thickness to standard latex). To date, polyisoprene condoms are sold in North America by LifeStyles and Durex.
Advantages of Polyisoprene
Softer, more elastic and form-fitting than both latex and polyurethane.
They transmit heat better than latex
They are cheaper than polyurethane condoms, but not as cheap as latex.
Disadvantages of Polyiosprene
Not biodegradable
Cannot be used with oil-based lubricants
Not made in both male and female form.
Not as readily available in stores; easier to find and buy online.
Nitrile Rubber: FC2 is the most common female condom globally and the only female condom available in North America. In 2009, FC2 began manufacturing with nitrile rubber, which offers the same benefits and protection as polyurethane, but is less expensive to produce. It is also softer and more supple than polyurethane.
Benefits of Nitrile Rubber
Hypo-allergenic
Protects against STIs and pregnancy
Significantly less expensive than other female condoms
Softer, more form-fitting, and supple than polyurethane.
Can use oil, silicon and oil-base lubricants
Disadvantages of Nitrile Rubber
Not biodegradable
2X more expensive than male condoms
Not easily accessible in drugstores and supermarkets
This is a post that will be updated. If you know of other non-latex condom options, please let us know. And don’t be shy to ask any questions or leave comments here.
As Durex is the largest condom producer in the world, the Durex website organizes its products based on region and country. Our size chart is organized by “Snug”, “Medium” and “Large” according to SIZE, TEXTURE, and MATERIAL (update! Durex no longer offers non-latex condoms). We offer our own store bought measurements, as well as source from Lucky Bloke and Undercover Condoms. Read more here about Durex from their best to worst.
Measurement tip:
The average condom length in North America is 7.5″/190.5mm. Most North American guys are between 5″ – 6.5″ (129.5mm-152.4mm). A recent study in the US nailed average erection down to 5.56 inches and 4.8 inches girth (see our guide for measuring penis). The average condom is made to fit a 4.8″/122mm girth. At this girth, one can fit a variety of condoms between 50mm to 55mm base wide (width is measured by the condom lying flat; it is not the circumference).
Confused about how penis circumference coverts to condom width? We have a helpful table and guide.
Rule of thumb: If you measure less than approximately 4.8 inches (121mm) in girth, go with a snugger fit. Fit you are greater than 5.15 inches (130mm), select Large or XL. Durex XXL (discontinued) was slightly longer than the Trojan Magnum XL
(Measurements can vary by a few millimeters but this should not effect fitting as condoms are designed to flex. Links to external sites may be affiliate links and could earn us a small commission)
We’ve launched the Condom Size Calculator. It is more user friendly, offering a comparative search of over 100 condoms all at once.

Trojan’s website offers a full view of their products and a selector tool to help you find the lubrication and material combo that suits you best.
However, their sizes are not as comprehensive. They simply classify their condoms as Regular, Large, Extra Large. Here we have updated a condom size chart that lists each product according to the three sizes and latex or non-latex. We offer dimensions we’ve measured ourselves or derived from our affiliates at Lucky Bloke and Undercover Condoms. For more about Trojan and the BEST to WORST, check out their profile summary.
Check out our new Condom Size Calculator (launched in Oct 2013) for a comparative search of all condoms available on the North American market.
Measurement Tip:
The average condom length is 7.5″/190mm. This will fit the vast portion of men who are between 5.1″-6.5′ (129.5mm-152.4mm). A new study determined average erection to be 5.56 inches long and 4.8 inches girth. If length is your concern, check out our condom fitting solutions chart for recommendations to specific needs.
When it comes to condom fitting, girth is crucial (see our guide for measuring penis). A regular size is made to fit 4.8″ to 5.1″ (122mm – 130mm) girth. That fits 50mm-55mm base width (measured by the condom laying flat. It is not the circumference).
To determine condom width simply divide your penis circumference by 2.25. How did we get this formula? Read about our research here.
Preference will vary but in general we recommend that if you measure less than 4.8 inches (122mm) in girth, go with a snugger fit. Fit you are greater than 5.15 inches (130mm), select Magnums.
Warning: Trojan offers pre-lubricated condoms with Nonoxynol-9. The World Health Organization recommends using this spermicide very sparingly (if at all) as studies show it can be harmful to internal tissue and may increase the risk of contracting STIs.

Trojan does not manufacture snug fit or small size condoms. If you find condoms to be too loose or too long, visit our condom fit solutions chart for recommendations.

The Legal Stuff: Age of consent and medical advice
The size charts are made to help you find the brand that suits 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.
This is the latest edition of our condom size chart with the latest products tailored by condom brand. During our research we noticed that some condom retail sites give conflicting measurements for the same condom. So, we measured many of these condoms ourselves and with condom services including Undercover Condoms and Lucky Bloke. If you come across false measurements, let us know!
Lifestyles is an Australian owed company that produces approximately 25 different types of condoms. They are the first to make polyisoprene condoms (more on that soon) and named this product SKYN. Their other featured condoms include THRYLL, WYLD, THYN and KYNG. Life Styles prides itself as the first condom company to establish a sexual health division and sell condoms to the public health community at the low retail rate. In cooperation with Planned Parenthood, Life Styles developed their popular “Sex Ed Kit” which contains teaching manuals, “how to” brochures, etc. to help preteens and adults feel more confident dealing with sexuality and social issues.
LifeStyles Ultra Sensitive made top of the list for the same sources above as well as the top of Consumer Report ShopSmart Magazine, 2009. This is a non-textured, simple, reliable condom with a water-based lubricant. It is slightly thinner than their Ultra Thin condom which equals .0197. Ultra Sensitive measures .0024 thickness.
LifeStyles SKYN tends to get mixed reviews from poor to excellent. Some say it’s just a normal condom; others vow they will never go back to latex. SKYN has not won any awards or competitions. However, according to research by Millward Brown, 2011, two-out-of-three surveyed users described it as their ‘best condom experience ever’ and that 66% of condom-users convert to SKYN after their first experience. This has more stretch than Durex Avanti or Trojan Supra and is very soft (e.g. it doesn’t sound like Cling Film or Saran Wrap).
Not so hot:
According to Condom Depot’s worst condom review database, Lifestyles Thryll Condoms are at the top bad, with complaints that the studs were dull and that the condom was thick, thus reducing feeling.
