Do I need larger condoms

toco123

Previously when trying to have sex, I would have a problem regarding the condom. The condom doesn't roll down comfortably and about half way, it tightens up. The only way it can get the end is if the condom is stretched and becomes even more uncomfortable and very tight. As a result, I have to resort to non-safe sex or none at all depending on the partner's preference. Do I require a larger condom brand? I have tried different types of Durex and Mojo to no success.

Maybe. Girls will probably have mentioned that you're unusually big if that's the case. Try the purple or red boxes of durex if you haven't already. They're wider than others. They're not longer, but stretching them won't result in the same discomfort.

Condoms can very much be a case of trial and error. One brand's XL is another's regular.

There's a table of various condoms re their relative dimensions you might find useful if you scroll to the foot of HERE.

All the best.

In my experience Mojo's "standard" size are absolutely tiny. Serious discomfort. Pleasuremax work best for me, easy to roll on but they don't roll off themselves. Go to ebay, but a mixed bag of durex and try out at home. Find one that suits you.

You may do, or you could be putting it on wrong. By any chance where you using featherlites? I find them a birch to get on, as there so thin. You can't tell which way they roll down.

Yes, a few have. Also tried the purples before, they are also too tight I find. I find it hard to find any other brands apart from Durex however, as I would like to try Trojan or similar to see if any of their fittings are any better.

Have you ever tried Mates Skyn? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mates-Skyn-Non-Latex-Condoms/dp/B004A8WBLE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346154988&sr=8-1

I strongly recommend the condomerie.com for you; they got several mixed packages of condom types to find one that suits you (inc. one for larger then normal). It's the best way to find a condom that works for you rather then trying random brands and all deliveries are quick and in a brown envelope.

These are smaller than Durex condoms?
On investigating, the last pack of condoms I bought were featherlight ultra which are the worst i've bought so far and are 52mm wide. The rest of their range is 56mm and are still uncomfortably tight, however they do roll somewhat better than the featherlite ultras. I will invest in a few larger sizes from condomerie.

My ex used to have this problem with condoms. He was rather large but also his scrotum was quite "forward set". Hard to explain but it was like the skin connecting the scrotum to the shaft of his penis was connected a bit too far up and this contributed to the condom feeling tights and rolling back from the base of the penis. Anyway, we actually found Durex featherlite quite good. We were living in a country where it was (surprisingly) very difficult to find large condoms and these were the best out of the normal brands.

I guess you should just try and see what works best for you. We ended up just both getting tested for STIs and I was on the pill so we ditched the condoms all together. Only really an option when you're in a relationship though

I have problems rolling the condom on more than half way without it getting very tight, sore and uncomfortable.
After measuring it recommends either a 60mm or 64mm condom as I am between two sizes (150mm C/170mm L). As a result I will order their CAS 7-8-9 trial pack. However, are these condoms available in normal retail stores as I went to my local Tesco, Boots and pharmacies and none of them stocked anything but standard Durex?
