Condom making bad ring around Base

[Pegasus]

Most countries have wider range of size available than the US . The Uk is particularly interesting , the most common brand is durex at 56mm . Now it is hard to even get a 56mm in the Us and the US "large fit" like magnum have a 54mm base . There is commonly a wide range available there and while looking on the shelves of a discount store in a Scottish village there I found everything from slim fit to 69mm.

To add to the "condoms through the world":

In Europe (I'm not from UK) there are two typical sizes in the shops: 53mm and 56mm. Although the number isn't clearly indicated and you have to look at the back of the packet in the small print. So most don't even know what condom size they are using a rely on what feels good.

Also I noticed that Skyn Large at 56mm feels larger than a Durex also at the same 56mm. I think it's because it's not latex and happens to be more stretchy. I've tested it once and a Skyn stretched and stayed at 60mm while a durex retains it's 56mm, maybe 57mm.

Then you have local internet shops where you can buy all that and condoms like mysize. It's easy and quick to order (a day or two) and the price is almost the same as durex.

As for example mysize goes from 47mm (recommended by them for 9,5cm to 10cm (3.7"-3.9")) to 69mm (from 14cm to 15cm (5.5"-5,9").


So I would say that similarly in Europe people don't know about condom size but at least it's higher than in US. But if you notice that a different size could be better you have the whole range to try easily available so that's great.

Look I will put it out there that I am 6" girth and have avoided 69mm condoms when they were right there on the shelf in front of me becasue I felt they were too big, When I was 6.25 " I might have considered moving to 69mm if they had been easily avaijable,

I would not take mysize recomendation too serious.

Ok, not saying that you're wrong and thanks for the info. Good to know from someone that experienced different penis sizes (and congratulations on the gains). Similarly Ultimate Burrito's experience with Skyn Large is interesting. Useful if I'll think about going up to 14cm.

But also, I'm not saying to blindly follow any recommendations, or size preferences of anybody, me included.

I think most on this forum are smart enough to try different sizes and judge what works for them. And not pick a biggest size to boost their ego while having the condom slipping off constantly

So I just wanted to put out the info (specifically for OP) that there is choice in size, especially if you think something's "wrong" with a condom. And there is no shame in trying a bigger one (or smaller one).

It would be nice if women didn't auto dismiss large fit as male vanity .

O wow, forgot that could also be an issue. Glad I haven't encountered such yet.

Although from what I've encountered written on the internet (like reddit) women more easily than men revert to the "it stretches and can fit on a leg so what's the problem?" stereotype.

Yes it can be a real problem . In addition to the pratical issues I find it all a bit insulting.
