Why is it important to choose the right condom?

HIV red ribbon

Condoms are a popular method of contraception which provide protection from sexually transmitted infections, HIV and pregnancy.  Although we all know they're not 100% effective, their job is to stop sperm coming into contact with the vagina, preventing any sexual fluid from being transferred. With such an important job to do, it’s vital the condom you wear is the correct one for you. 

While condoms are designed to stretch, wearing the wrong size can ruin the moment. If you wear a condom that feels too big or doesn’t cover all of your penis, it may slip off during sex. If the condom is too long, it may feel uncomfortable as this will mean it will be significantly rolled up at the base of the penis, while a condom that’s too tight leaves a risk of the condom splitting. Therefore, using the wrong size condom can mean you aren’t fully protected and can increase your risk of pregnancy or STI’s

Sizes

Some condom manufacturers use slightly different measurements so it’s always best to measure your own penis first to find out exactly which size is best for you. Our condoms come in three standard sizes:

Trim: A narrower width and a smaller fit. 180mm nominal length. 49mm nominal width

Regular: Our most popular condom. 190mm nominal length. 54mm nominal width

King Size: A wider and longer condom for a bigger fit. 205mm nominal length. 60mm nominal width.

Super King: Super wide - super long. 210mm nominal length. 69mm nominal width

We’ve added a size guide to every condom product page, so it’s now even easier to select the correct size. 

Measuring size

How to correctly measure your penis

Firstly, find yourself a ruler and measuring tape and make sure your penis is erect. This will ensure you buy the perfect fit. If you measure your penis when it is flaccid, there’s a chance you may buy the wrong size condom. When measuring, you are looking for the length and width of your penis. Your penis width will affect how a condom fits and stays on and the length is important because the condom needs to cover the whole penis and leave space for your semen. 

Measuring Length: 

  1. Place a ruler or measuring tape under your erection, making sure the edge of the measuring tool is at the base of your penis, ensuring that the entire shaft will be covered.
  2. Your length is the number (in mm) that you see above the tip of your penis (this is the measurement of your erect penis to the end of the tip).

Measuring Width:

  1. Wrap your measuring tape gently around the middle of your erection. If you don’t have a measuring tape, you can loop a piece of string around your penis and then measure the string with a ruler afterwards.
  2. The measurement on the measuring tape / of the string (in mm) is the width* of your penis.

*this is not the 'nominal' width, this is the circumference of your penis.

Please note: you may want to choose a slightly different size, based on your personal preference. If your size does not match one of our condom sizes exactly, your best option is to choose the nearest size condom. Also, don't be afraid to try out different sizes to find out what is most comfortable for you. A proper fit is both comfortable and held snugly in position.

Did you know? It's better that a condom has more length or less width rather than be too wide or short.
