Condom Size Question

Hey all. Not sure which subforum to post this on. So I never had sex yet. Not going to mention my age as it is going to be beyond embarrassing and it is to the point of that movie embarrassing if you know what I mean. So years ago, I purchased one of those condom kits on ebay or amazon where you get a ton of condoms from different brands like those packets to try. I remember buying the snugger fit or small size package and remember getting a ton of them. It included lifestyle snugger fit, caution wear and several others. The caution wear which is for smaller penises. I thought that would fit me but it is almost impossible to put the condom on my penis. The lifestyle snugger fit was tough as well but I think I might have put it on but it was very hard.

Now my flaccid is very small. It’s about 2 inches or so more or less. When erect, it’s around 4 inches more or less. So when erect it’s probably somewhere between 3.75’ to 4.25’. Back then I remember I measured close to be 4.5’ but I’m not sure if I measure correctly or not. So I then bought several more condoms to try back then and the one that seemed to fit very well is Beyond Seven Sheerlon Latex condom that has that orange packaging. These seem to be made in Japan. Now whenever I put on a condom, I always put it on with 2 hands. Hard for me to do it with 1 hand. Anyone else have this issue? The other condom that seemed to fit is the popular Beyond Seven Crown condom, the popular blue one. Now I have no issue putting it on and it fits but not as tight and snug like the beyond seven sheerlon latex. The thing is I read this condom is the most popular condom in the world. However, I read it is the condom of choice for pornstars? How would that be true if most pornstars are huge? So these are for smaller or average or bigger guys?

My questions are. Because I am small when erect. Why is it the beyond seven crown condom the blue one seem to fit? It doesn’t seem loose as well when I try masturbating with it? Now the issue here is the beyond seven sheerlon latex has been discontinued. I still have but they are expired. Now can anyone tell me what alternative condoms are exactly like the beyond seven sheerlon latex? I am positive this condom is the correct size for me as I used many of them just masturbating. I can put it on without issue and it feels right. The crown condoms feel almost as good but doesn’t seem that thin. But are there people with smaller penis that has crown condoms fit them perfectly? Does it have to do with small penis but possibly average girth? But those small snug condoms like caution wear and lifestyle snugger fit. Those are almost impossible to put on. The thing is I’m pretty certain my girth has to be less than 4.7’ but it isn’t even possible to put the smaller one in. Any advice here for the exact dimensions like the beyond seven sheerlon latex? Anyone used the same condom back then and if so, what are you in terms of flaccid, erect and girth? And what you use now since it is discontinued? Thanks.

Okay so does anyone here wear crown condoms? If so, what size are you?

I am very perplexed because this is rated the number 1 condom in the world I believe and pornstars wear it. Yet I read it is actually for people that are smaller? So how does that make sense? How do male pornstars even fit in a crown condom then? Can anyone here confirm these are made for smaller guys? I know they are made in Japan so that is another reason but makes no sense. Anyone can clear this up?

Google condom size calculator and you will find several options. Some will even give you a selection of condoms recommended for your size.

IMHO Crown condoms suck. The first time I ever picked one up, before I even opened it, I thought “These are too small. They are perpetuating the negative stereotype of Asian men having small penises”. I wouldn’t pay any mind to all that “best selling condom in the world, favorite condom of porn stars”, etc. I think that’s just marketing. People talk about how thin they are, but most condoms are the same to me in that regard. Having a stranglehold on the base of my dick is what makes it uncomfortable. I bought a sampler pack of those Kimono condoms online (which are also Japanese), same thing. I bought some “Mega Big Boy XXL” condoms, those were definitely more comfortable. One time I even bought some Magnums at a 7-11, again, much more comfortable (when I say “comfortable”, I mean just trying them on. I never had an opportunity to use any of them). When I am with a woman, I just use whatever she has.

So my advice to you is to just continue trying different ones. Although if you’ve never had sex, it seems like you shouldn’t be worrying about it. It would be like someone with no kids worrying about the high cost of daycare.

So what size are you exactly when you say these are too small. So they are for guys with small penises then? The thing is of all the condoms I tried, they seem to fit the 2nd best of all the ones I tried. The best one is the beyond seven sheerlon latex but that recently has been discontinued.

The thing is because I have a smaller penis, well the beyond seven sheerlon latex not only seem to fit correctly but also because I believe it is for someone who is small. Now the crown condoms, I read it is the number 1 condom in the world and how many male pornstars wear it. So my thought was then it has to be for average to above average size guys right? But then when you read comments and reviews on it, lot of people say it is for smaller guys and some small guys say it’s great because they are small.

Well the thing is I tried several of them years ago when I bought those sampler packs. The ones that seem to fit correctly are the beyond seven sheerlon latex and the crown condom. The other one that seemed to fit good was the durex extra sensitive that was in purple packet I believe. But basically the beyond seven sheerlon which is discontinued now. And the crown condom seem to be correct fit. Now let me ask you this. When I tried the caution iron grip and the lifestyle snugger fit, if you read online about it, it definitely has a much smaller circumference. That is probably one of the most important measurements of the condom right? I know they are also a bit shorter as well. But I recall it was almost impossible to put on the caution wear iron grip condom on. There was no way to pull it over. The lifestyle snugger was very hard to put on as well but I think I might have put it on but it was extremely tight. At first I thought either one of these condoms had to been the correct fit because well I’m below average both flaccid and hard. So does this surprise you then? Is it possible my girth is possibly close to average? When I measured it years ago. I was pretty sure my girth was below 4.7’ which seems to be the cutoff online for what is small for girth. Again my hard size is over 4 inches at the most. So thoughts on that?

The reason I ask this is because I do traveling and will be doing it soon. Where I go there, many products are hard to get or buy. So I try to make sure I buy them in the US before I go there so I buy a huge pack of them in case.

But for me, I haven’t had any luck so I just had lot of condoms etc. Does that make sense? So because the beyond seven sheerlon latex are expired, well I want to know which is the correct one for me as I would be be having a bulk amount because I am usually in that other country for months. And I don’t want an issue where if I meet someone or more, then I run out of condoms because I can’t get those in that country.

The”My One” brand offers multiple sizes, mixing both length and girth. I need a wider one personally, and have used the Skyn Large, partly due to a partner’s latex sensitivity (Skyn are nonlatex). But I find they barely roll down 3/4 of where you want it, and they’re a bit too snug. Then I found My One. Check it out, they have longer with varied girth combos, basically whatever you may best fit. CVS (some stores) stocks some of them. Magnums are actually barely wider than regular

Back in ancient times there was only one size of condom, and they were stretchy enough to pull one over your head if you wanted. A rep from a condom maker was on one of the talk shows in the 1980s (Geraldo Rivera?) and demonstrated it on TV.

Just buy every type of condom: size, material, and brand, in the smallest quantities available online (so you aren’t overspending OR having to throw a bunch of extra condoms away). Then work up your best erection and try each one on until you find one that stays snuggly on your shaft but not so tight that it hurts (or leaves an indent in the skin), and not so loose that any loss in erection quality may make the condom slip or move around. Literally the story of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," you’ll find one that’s just right.

If you feel too "old" as to be embarrassed to share your age, I’d like to assume you’re gainfully employed and the purchase(s) would be a worthwhile (but cost-friendly) investment, especially if it’s for your first time having sex.

You’re doing the same thing I did before I first had sex. Cyclical over-thinking about what fits and doesn’t fit, am I big enough, etc etc etc. Except I lost my virginity more than 20 years ago. As an adult (I’m going to wager you are north of 25 years of age based on your post), the worst thing you can do is to make this whole process needlessly complicated. If you dwell this much on just the condom alone, I can only imagine what you’ll allow your mind to dwell on when your partner eventually disrobes. You need a change in attitude (and I say that respectfully, as in to say: time to lay down the pipe, stop stalling!), and simplify the process: get a plethora of condom varieties, test them out, throw away (or donate) all the rest that didn’t satisfy, and have at it.

There are places that sell condom assortments; a dozen or more, all different brands, so you can experiment without having to buy a box of each.
