    Need to find a wide fitting condom in the centre of Dublin. I've heard online is the best place but I live with my parents so delivery is a stumbling block. Any suggestions where to buy would be greatly appreciated.

    Check out Dollymount Strand - plenty of used ones floating around there :D

    Not an issue if they don't open your post. If you buy off places like Lovehoney they send stuff in plain brown envelopes/boxes that don't have the words "CONDOMS" wrote all over them :)

    There's Condom Power in Dublin City too.

    Sellers know the score.
    Buy from ebay or any online shop and you'll get plain packaging, no decent seller is going to brand their package

    So once your parents don't open your post then no issue

    I found Trojans to be nearly too thick (even the light ones), you may be a long time waiting for your happy ending.

    As others have said, most online retailers would post them in plain boxes. Would it be such an issue for you anyway if your parents knew you were buying condoms online? Chances are they know your having sex (unless your 16 or younger) and would probly be happy to know your taking precautions.

    again marigolds for thinckenss springs to mind :(
    Larger condoms and availabilties in this country is a complete piss take,
    Yad think that some of the owners of these companies might actually frequent these kinda forums for an idea on a male perspective :/

    I find Durex XL (why not just L?) are longer but not any wider than regular durex. Which makes little sense to me. If you can roll it down 7 or so inches, that must be good enough, whereas if you can't get it on without stretching it like a rubber band, what's the point in that?

    Anyway, Magnum seem to be the good ones, but I've never seen them in shops. Do they have Superdrug in Ireland? They sell some large ones, which I've found to be pretty good. Can't remember the brand off hand.

    You could always send them to the post office and collect it. Or a willing friends house.

    You can get Trojan Magnums and Magnum XL's in Condom Power. AFAIK they do packs of 6 if you looking to try them out. This is the only "bricks and mortar" shop in ireland that I have found that sells these.

    If you buy online then you can get this set.
    http://www.britishcondoms.co.uk/condom-multi-packs/big-boy-sampler.html

    It includes most of the the larger condoms out there. Personally I only rate the Trojan Magnum range. Durex XL's are only marginally larger then Durex's standard condoms. If you want something bigger in the Durex range then I would go for Durex XXL. Larger/XL condoms seem to be a marketing gimmick by a lot of condom companies. So make sure you check the sizes of what you are buying and remember what fits/doesn't fit you.

    Fair play for this company for actually recognising the fact that people should buy condoms that fit them:

    Hey guys, sorry to resurrect a zombie thread, but does anyone know anywhere in Dublin city center that sells wider condoms (not longer)?

    Had a rather embarrassing situation last week with a girl I'm seeing where fumbling about with a condom that was too small lost me "my moment" and I couldn't get that moment back no matter what we tried :(

    I've read Pasante King Size might be my best bet with them being 60mm wide. Anywhere around stock them? Bricks and mortar preferably, as we've discussed revisiting that moment tomorrow night :o Thanks!
