Trojan BareSkin vs Magnum Raw is a choice between two thin-feeling condoms made for different fit needs. Trojan BareSkin is the easier pick for regular-size users who want a thinner latex feel. Magnum Raw is the better pick if regular condoms feel tight and you want a roomier, low-odor, lubricated option.
Trojan BareSkin vs Magnum Raw: the short comparison
| Feature | Trojan BareSkin | Magnum Raw |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Regular-size users wanting thinner feel | Larger-fit users wanting a thinner, smoother feel |
| Fit category | Standard / regular | Large |
| Material | Latex | Latex |
| Feel | Thin, close, simple | Thin-for-large, smooth, less latex smell |
| Main risk if wrong | May feel tight if you need large width | May bunch or slip if you need regular width |
Which one should you buy?
Buy Trojan BareSkin if regular condoms usually stay in place and your main complaint is that condoms feel too thick. It is built for the familiar Trojan regular-fit lane, so it is not the best answer to a true tightness problem.
Buy Magnum Raw if regular condoms squeeze, leave a deep ring, reduce sensation because they feel constricting, or are difficult to roll down comfortably. It belongs in the Magnum large-fit family, so it makes more sense when width is the issue.
Fit matters more than “thin”
A thinner condom can still feel bad if the width is wrong. If a condom is too narrow, the pressure can make it feel less sensitive, not more. If a condom is too wide, it can wrinkle, bunch, or slip. That is why this comparison should start with fit, not just thickness.

When Trojan BareSkin is the better choice
- You normally use standard Trojan condoms comfortably.
- You want a thinner latex condom without moving into large sizing.
- You do not have slipping or tightness issues with regular condoms.
- You want a simple sensitivity-focused option that is easy to find.
When Magnum Raw is the better choice
- Regular condoms feel tight around the shaft or base.
- You already use Magnum, Magnum Thin, or Magnum BareSkin comfortably.
- You want a large condom with a smoother, more premium feel.
- You want less of the classic latex smell than some older latex options.
What if both sound wrong?
If Trojan BareSkin sounds too narrow but Magnum Raw sounds too loose, do not guess by brand name alone. You may need a different nominal width or a more exact-fit condom. See Condom Too Tight?, Condoms Keep Slipping Off?, and the MYONE condoms size chart for more precise sizing options.
Bottom line
Trojan BareSkin is the better thin condom for regular-fit users. Magnum Raw is the better thin-feeling option for people who need large condoms. If you are comparing them because regular condoms feel uncomfortable, measure first: fit will improve comfort and sensation more than chasing the thinnest label.
