Condom problem.

LegacyUser

I've come to the stage in my life where I need to start using condoms. The problem is that traditional market condoms are a bit too large for me. As far as I know these traditional condoms are about 8 inches length and 2 inches width. They are about 1 inch in length and 1.5 cm in width too large for me .It's not a huge amount but it does cause the condom to slip off rather than fitting snugly.

Is there any other brand apart from the chemist ones like Durex and Trojan that might fit better and where I could I find them?? Or alternatively is their any additional techniques used to secure a condom in place more securely if it is slipping?

I hope this is a appropriate question to ask here but I feel it is as it's a genuine "personal issues" question.. so hopefully I can get some advice here.

Many Thanks

Op have you tried buying condoms online?

I'm on my work pc so not sure if you can buy directly from places like durex, but I'm sure you could find a reputable site somewhere.

Also you're probably more likely to find a wider variety in the larger chemists, like boots etc. Would you consider going to a sexual health clinic? Or even your local GP, not that you have a problem or anything, I'm just thinking they may be able to steer you to a website, or chemist dealing in condoms that are a better fit for you.

I will say if you are buying off the internet, ensure that it is reputable and that when you receive the condoms that they are in date, in sealed packaging and are a brand that you recognise (durex, trojan etc etc.)

I wish you good luck, it is important to ensure that you get condoms that fit properly to ensure they work at both preventing pregnancy and std's.

Even condoms that "fit" can ride up and need to be pulled down a few times, because they are latex they can also roll and are not meant to be too tight as the latex needs flex to cope with it being pulled every which way.

As the person above said order online or buy some different brands/sizes and just see how they fit.

Buy online OP
There are sellers on ebay that do this and don't worry, everything comes in plain brown packages, nothing to identify it

Well there are countless brands out there
There is a brand called Durex Close Fit which may suit you
