my bf is a virgin and has never bought condoms before. he is 8.25" long and 4.75" in girth. what size condom should he get bc i don't know.

Standard size. He's a lot longer than average but the girth is really what dictates the size.

aren't regular condoms only 7.5 inches long though?

Ineligible

I thought they are meant to be a little longer - here, 8 1/4".

If they don't cover the whole length it's not ideal, but generally they still work quite well in preventing conception and protecting against STDs (though in the cases of herpes and genital warts the protection is always less than complete, and presumably the more skin that is exposed the less complete it is). The biggest danger is that it's more likely to come off. This would be worse with a large-size condom, as these are designed for a thicker penis and would be too loose. They are not much longer, anyway.

You can get longer standard-width condoms from http://www.condomania.com, but they are expensive.

thanks for the help. well i know neither one of us have STD's or any of the such. our main concern is pregnancy. i don't think it should come off though bc there is no way he will get it all in. lol.
