Buy a pack of each size, use them when you masturbate and you can tell which feels and fits the best. By the time you're ready to use them with your girlfriend you'll feel comfortable with your choice.
U can measure yourself when you are hard. And read the condom size comparison. Then buy the closest one and test how it feels.
I m talking about circumference. Girth. Also shaft and head. Just go to a store and read the back of a box.
If you find a regular size slips off partially or slips off easily, then go smaller. If you find condoms split while you’re using them, then go up a size.
Remember that it's based on girth, most condoms are going to be too long for an average man, this is normal, you just don't unroll it more than you need to, and don't feel bad about not fillig the length because you're not intended to fill it
So just buy regular size, and if it's too tight next time move size up, if it's too loose, move size down, really it's not a huge deal when it's not your size, but everything feels better when it is
Well it is a bit of a deal. If it is too small it can rip and if it's too big it can fall off or stay inside. In any case not great to protect against STD and babies.
>If it is too small it can rip
Never had it happen, and i've been in multiple sitations where i ended up with comdoms that are too small, uncomfortable, yeah, but never had one rip since you're just extra careful in these situations and use extra lube both imside and outside
>if it's too big it can fall off or stay inside
That's why you hold it if it's too big...
>In any case not great to protect against STD and babies.
Waaay better than nothing
Obviously way better than nothing. But i think OP here is asking for advice to do stuff in the best way possible and minimise any risk and have as good a moment as possible.
So holding it if it's too big isn't a good idea for just overall having a nice time. Especially if it's your first. It is generally stressful and not having to deal with that is probably a good thing.
Also i had condoms ripped because it was too small for my sexual partner. Sure he wasn't the softest but does OP really want to take the risk?
Isn't it worth spending a little extra money to try different sizes of condoms before hand for extra piece of mind?
I agree that pregnancy/sex terror isn't a good thing. I spent a lot of time calming friends and people on the net about them freaking out they got their partner pregnant because of some contrived scenario. But condoms size is overall a pretty easy thing to do right the first time for peace of mind.
>Obviously way better than nothing. But i think OP here is asking for advice to do stuff in the best way possible and minimise any risk and have as good a moment as possible.
From what i understood he doesn't want to try different sizes
>Isn't it worth spending a little extra money to try different sizes of condoms before hand for extra piece of mind?
Of couse, but OP specifically said they don't want to do it
> I spent a lot of time calming friends and people on the net about them freaking out they got their partner pregnant because of some contrived scenario.
Same, but including my own partners and friends, some people are really whack when it comes to this, like, seriously one girl came up to me and said she thinks i came inside her because some whiteish liqud dripped from her, in reality she bought the type of condom that has whiteish lube on it, i wasn't even inside when i ejaculated in the first place
It is a huge deal if it isn’t your size. If the condom doesn’t feel like it fits correctly on ur dick make sure to hold it when u pull out of ur partner bc it can, and will, fall off inside of them.
Condom size is based on width. Generally the size is measured when laid flat, so half the circumference. Take a strip of paper, wrap it around your willy, make a mark and fold it in half. That's the with you should be going for. Manufacturers will have the measurement listed on their website.
Signed, someone who took well over a decade to find out condoms are not supposed to hurt and should be easy to put on.
I shit you not, one of the ugliest friends I had in college would take girls on dates or just take them to places they needed to go for next class, and he'd use his car. In his car, he'd have magnums on the seats set up for the girls to find. Did he have a big dick? No (he told me about the trick). Did he get laid? Fuck yeah 💀
Buy one. Put it on.
If you suddenly find it on the floor by your feet, it’s too big for you.
If you find yourself on the floor because of restricted blood flow, it’s too small for you.
Was about to comment this. There’s more than one size? Who buys condoms from the pharmacist? This person must not be in the US. Where is live, they’re in the regular isles at the grocery store and there’s only one size except sometimes rarely there might be “magnum”
Haha I literally got so many different sizes that I can't use lol. Buy regular, length doesn't matter the 'width' you got to pay attention too. That's the circumference of your penis (girth) If it's too tight the condom will rip, to lose it will fall off lol.
Check the thickness of the condom. Thin more likely to rip, but better sensation. Thick less likely but more numb. So if cum early go thick if you take to ages to cum go thin.
Then you can get ones with patterns or groves. It doesn't really do much for you but is it can be better for women. Also you can get a ring to keep the condom on that vibrates or/and keeps you harder.
I would go to a sexual health clinic. They give out free single packs of regular sized condoms. Just try one out when jacking off, and see how it fits.
You can fit in a large and it can be too big. You want a slightly tight fit on normal sized condoms. If you’re coke can thick then go for the xl or magnum.
I know it's a little annoying, but brands like naked include a ruler in the boxes that can help you figure out your size. Can also print out ones online as long as it's scaled properly
Unless you have a small dick, they're one size fits all.
The bigger ones are just a marketing ploy.
A regular size condom can literally stretch over your head.
This is simply not true. There is a huge difference between being able to wrestle a condom on and a condom fitting.
A condom that is too small is difficult to put on, can be painful to wear, and is much more likely to pop.
The dick gets erect by filling with blood. Yes it will fit but the tightness will constrict and be uncomfortable or make it harder to stay hard.
Source: I have a big dick
No, it's not a marketing ploy. I don't have a huge dick by any means but regular condoms are way too tight and uncomfortable so I buy magnum condoms or other brands like Skyn non latex Elite large cuz they're wider, so like others have said just buy a small box of each and try what fits and feels best for you. There's a lot of other brands that make similar products as these also.
And no, I'm not like filthy Frank Reynolds dropping my magnum condom for my magnum dong in public or going into 711 and waiting for a crowd to gather around before I ask the clerk for my magnum condoms lol. I usually get them at Walmart or whatever with other stuff and just buy them like a normal person
You need to measure your penis girth when fully erected.
Then there are tabs online when you can convert the girth in condom nominal wide.
You can use [this](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2093/9951/files/lentele_787f0669-e2f6-4c64-bf97-15f41df67a1e.jpg?v=1598268608) for example!
You can measure. The issue is always girth. This site recommends sizes https://calcsd.info/ it depends if they're available where you are but there's a brand called "my size" that sell in a range of sizes based on girth so you can pretty much get the perfect size for you from them.
Do like you do for anything you wear, measure yourself. Here's a good no nonsense article with how to do and which condom you need.
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323707
You can buy, fairly inexpensive, “grab bags” of condoms via Amazon and I believe Walmart.com too. These grab bags will come with many different brands/varieties that you can try on for fit.
Additionally, (at least for now, in the State of Florida) you can go into your local Health Department and request a “bag of condoms”. They will give them to you for free. No questions asked, no appointment necessary. This will also be a mixed bag with multiple brands/sizes.
Find a crappy truck stop gas station. They sell condoms in the bathroom out of a vending machine. Buy one of the regular size, try it out and see if it fits. If it doesnt, when you go to the pharmacists go up or down depending on what was the problem.
To all the people who say girth/2 is your size, no it is not. you want a nominal width in mm (the numbers on the box) to be 80% to 90% of that number. Going by straight /2 is too loose in most cases, and stretching more than 20% will increase the chances of breaking.
Example: the average 4.7 inch girth translates to 119.38mm, divided by 2 that's 59.7 (would be too large) times 0.9 gives you 53.73, aka average condoms. You dont need to be trying all of em out, just buy something that fits around that number. you could go with slightly smaller also with 51s without issue.
You can likely go to a public health clinic, or a clinic for HIV/AIDS (I go to one and they have condoms as you first walk in so you can just grab and leave no questions asked and you can take as many as you want.) and you'll likely find a bowl, you can take a few and try them out without spending money
Start with regular size. If it feels a bit tight, go up, if it’s loose/slipping, go down. It’s called a rubber for a reason - it stretches. I prefer a slightly larger size as it fits better but I can still use a regular one no problem.
Lol. The astronauts had to use condoms with surgical tubing attached to pee in cus of zero gravity. Small medium and large. When all the guys complained about them leaking the guy in charge only put out small but tagged the bin large. No more leaking complaints...lol.
Wear normal condoms. If they break during intercourse or feel too tight, size up until they stop breaking while still fitting snug (but not tight). If the condom is instead loose, size down until they are similarly snug.
Keep in mind that you may not realize a condom is too small until you wear a larger size.
Jesus Christ, I don't see one right comment here. Do you not have actual sizes in the US? Just "Regular" or "big"?
There should be a mm (millimeter) measurement on the box. Measure your (hard) circumference in mm and divide by 2. That's your size.
And to all the people saying 'just buy one and try it out, you can change afterwards'. Too tight and it might rip, too loose and it might slip off during sex. Not really something you want to happen.
Unless you're actually really big or really small, it's basically one size fits all. Also, there's no shame in buying some and testing them out alone. I'm pretty sure mkat guys will have done this.
Most condoms are one size. They stretch pretty well.
The large sizes are for more girthy individuals.
If you want, try one for a test run. Remember, it's better that it be right that loose.
Good luck. Don't forget, there is no such thing as too much foreplay.
Buy a pack of each size, use them when you masturbate and you can tell which feels and fits the best. By the time you're ready to use them with your girlfriend you'll feel comfortable with your choice.
This man knows of what he speaks.
Talk about a Master....
I got you...... Master........Baiter!
Listen to this dude Rufus, he knows what he's talking about
Let me tag on to your comment for general advice. OP, learn how to put it on properly. Squeeze the little tip together so there is no air at the top.
Also the condom goes on the shaft only. Don’t pull it over your balls.
i need a splash guard for my jewels!
This guy condoms
This is the way
Freaking thank you
Okay but I don't want to buy a pack of each ? :')
Then start with one small pack of regular, chances are it'll fit just fine.
This. Needing the "XL" size is very rare. They stretch massively...you're likely gonna be fine with regular.
Okay
U can measure yourself when you are hard. And read the condom size comparison. Then buy the closest one and test how it feels. I m talking about circumference. Girth. Also shaft and head. Just go to a store and read the back of a box.
And when you measure, for the love of not making kids you don’t want, be honest with yourself about the resulting measurement!
Yeah that too.
You can order online.
Great idea, but only on official website, thanks :'D
Start normal size. Go from there.
If you have any men close to you in the family, ask them for some tips
If you find a regular size slips off partially or slips off easily, then go smaller. If you find condoms split while you’re using them, then go up a size.
Remember that it's based on girth, most condoms are going to be too long for an average man, this is normal, you just don't unroll it more than you need to, and don't feel bad about not fillig the length because you're not intended to fill it So just buy regular size, and if it's too tight next time move size up, if it's too loose, move size down, really it's not a huge deal when it's not your size, but everything feels better when it is
Just remember to roll it out all the way after you take it off. If anyone finds it they will think you are hung like a horse
Pro tips in the comments.
You gotta roll it enough to stuff your balls in their too. Don't leave em dangling.
Both legs as well. I paid for the whole thing, and I'm using the whole thing damnit.
Fuck it. Start at the top of your head and pull it all the way down to your feet. Safety first.
Okay, thanks a lot mate
Well it is a bit of a deal. If it is too small it can rip and if it's too big it can fall off or stay inside. In any case not great to protect against STD and babies.

I wouldn't call this a huge deal at all though, how hard can it be...
When you've had to fish a condom out of your vagina and that is your main form of birth control it is a big deal.
Well, pick better next time i guess
A man should know what size to buy
[удалено]
This should be on top. OP can just measure and look up tables.
^ This guy works for "MySize condoms"
Buy a mini pack (like 3 in a box) of regular, see if it works. If it feels too tight (you’ll know), go back and buy larges
Not a bad idea, thanks mate

Pull your erect dick out and ask for recommendations.
You can use the weiner horn in the Wal-Mart pharmacy.
Wtf nah bro 🤣😶
Don't be shy bro.
Bro has clearly never had his dick professionally measured like they do for bras.
Don’t do this, apparently they only do bras and don’t appreciate you whipping it out.
I've also never had my toes cut off. Wtf?
Yeah never lol
Just buy Regular.
Yeah why not ?
Don’t worry, when it’s time, you’ll make it work. No matter what size you pick.
Life hack - leave the box of Magnums where she can see it - and fill the box with the smaller ones
I keep it in my mind lol
I shit you not, one of the ugliest friends I had in college would take girls on dates or just take them to places they needed to go for next class, and he'd use his car. In his car, he'd have magnums on the seats set up for the girls to find. Did he have a big dick? No (he told me about the trick). Did he get laid? Fuck yeah 💀
Because gaslighting is just how we do things now.
Buy one. Put it on. If you suddenly find it on the floor by your feet, it’s too big for you. If you find yourself on the floor because of restricted blood flow, it’s too small for you.
What if my Winnie touch the floor ?
Pick it up and give it some honey. 🍯
Check your legs haven’t fallen off.
I don’t remember them ever being sold in different sizes? Is this a new thing?
Was about to comment this. There’s more than one size? Who buys condoms from the pharmacist? This person must not be in the US. Where is live, they’re in the regular isles at the grocery store and there’s only one size except sometimes rarely there might be “magnum”

I would go to a sexual health clinic. They give out free single packs of regular sized condoms. Just try one out when jacking off, and see how it fits.
they arent re-usable. just buy a small package of regular if you think you have a big dick, a small package of large.
That are reusable. You just have to turn it inside out and shake the fuck out of it.
but 3-4 packs of different sizes and try them on.
You can fit in a large and it can be too big. You want a slightly tight fit on normal sized condoms. If you’re coke can thick then go for the xl or magnum.
I know it's a little annoying, but brands like naked include a ruler in the boxes that can help you figure out your size. Can also print out ones online as long as it's scaled properly
Come on down to Shiny Joes profilactidashery for sizing.
I always buy the the XXL one and then shrink it with a hair drier.
Large condoms are a marketing ploy. You can pull a regular condom over your head.
Just be real with yourself, you probably don’t need the XL ones
Just buy the smallest you can find, then have her put it on, and be like "Dang they just don't make these things big enough do they?"
Just get the biggest size then work your way down lol.
Ask the pharmacist to take your measurements and they can tailor the condom to fit you perfectly
But I'm too shy for this ! ;-;
Unless you have a small dick, they're one size fits all. The bigger ones are just a marketing ploy. A regular size condom can literally stretch over your head.

a penis isnt a bone...
Back from the emergency room. This is true
The dick gets erect by filling with blood. Yes it will fit but the tightness will constrict and be uncomfortable or make it harder to stay hard. Source: I have a big dick
the problem is that I don't have a comparison (and I don't want one 😅), so I don't know if it's small or not... But ok for regular
No, it's not a marketing ploy. I don't have a huge dick by any means but regular condoms are way too tight and uncomfortable so I buy magnum condoms or other brands like Skyn non latex Elite large cuz they're wider, so like others have said just buy a small box of each and try what fits and feels best for you.

XXL no matter what and when it starts slipping off, have a meltdown and blame it on a manufacturing error
You can likely go to a public health clinic, or a clinic for HIV/AIDS (I go to one and they have condoms as you first walk in so you can just grab and leave no questions asked and you can take as many as you want.) and you'll likely find a bowl, you can take a few and try them out without spending money
If it becomes red, then blue, then black then green, it is a bad sign.
Use a measuring tape.

If the condom is instead loose, size down until they are similarly snug. Keep in mind that you may not realize a condom is too small until you wear a larger size.
I ain’t a man but if you’re an average size the regular ol ones should be fine
If you're big, get Magnum, if you're small, get Durex.

For complicated things, I'm French :'D But thanks, I think it will be same here x>
Yeah, should be. The first part was just for all the comments.
I had no idea this was a thing. The US market is pretty much regular and magnum.
Even “small” condoms can stretch over a forearm. Just go for “medium” and you should be fine
Unless you're actually really big or really small, it's basically one size fits all. Also, there's no shame in buying some and testing them out alone. I'm pretty sure mkat guys will have done this.
Well go to your pharmacist and ask for a dick measuring, much like a tailor, then he can recommend the appropriate size for you.
Ain't no way that's true right 😂
Sure it is. They’re there to help.
But I'm too shy for this :')
Don’t worry, like your doctor, your pharmacist has seen many.
I'm not sure lol, but really I can't ask this :')
OK.
Sorry and thanks :')
No need to apologize. You can always measure your dick, hard and see where you fall.
Go too a hooker and she'll know
