Condom Size Chart to Find the Brand and Style That Fits Best

When it comes to finding the right condom, size matters. This includes ones that are appropriate to your length and girth (circumference) of your penis. Improperly sized condoms can easily break or fall off, and you may not even realize it.

You also need to address comfort and safety by taking into account the material a condom brand is made with (lambskin, latex, polyisoprene, polyurethane).

To help you find the right condom for you, this article provides a chart that compares the many condom brands available by size and special features.

Why Condom Sizes Matter

People aren’t all built the same, and neither are condoms. Finding the right-sized condom will increase your comfort level while wearing it. Furthermore, condoms are most effective when they fit properly.

The body of most condoms is roomy enough to accommodate almost any penis size. But even though most are super stretchy, if you buy a condom that is too small, you may feel discomfort and even pain. Moreover, there is a greater possibility that the condom will burst.

Similarly, if a condom is too short, the head of the penis may flatten the reservoir tip at the end meant to catch the ejaculated semen. If this happens, the semen will seep to the sides of the condom and possibly ooze out at the base.

Why Condom Materials Matter

Condoms are typically made with either lambskin, latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane. Some materials work better than others in avoiding pregnancy and preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

There are pros and cons to each:

Finding the Perfect Condom Size

Before you can decide what condom size you need, you must first measure your erect penis size by both length and girth. Use that measurement as a guide as you select condoms that have similar measurements.

You may have to try out several types of condoms before finding one that provides you with the best fit and the most comfort. Buy individual condoms or the smallest pack available so you won’t waste money on those that don’t work well.

Most condom brands have their own definitions of what is considered to be standard or large condoms. In general, condoms are available in "snug" fit sizes, regular sizes, large, and extra-large (XL) sizes.

Summary

It’s important to find a condom that is snug, secure, and comfortable. A condom that meets these criteria will increase pleasure and provide the best protection.

To determine which condom is best for you, start by measuring the length and girth of your penis. The right condom for you will provide better comfort and may prevent such accidents as the condom breaking or falling off.
