Condom Size

---

Hey everyone.

I'm 25 and never had actual sex. Had and have given oral sex, but never engaged in penetration itself. Reasons of my own and not important to the topic.

Thing is, I had bought condoms before, but never tried them out and now that there's a high possibility to lose virginity soon, I have decided to buy a box of them and took the regular size...

When I tried one out, while masturbating... As I'm non circunsized I got the skin down and then had the condom go, but didn't go farther than 1/3 of the head!! I tried to force it down, but no results... The maximum it went was half way through the head of the penis... Only by stretching with the fingers could I make it go all the way down (knowing this is not safe, as I could rip it) and then it was really tigh around the penis, specially the head!! Tried to masturbate to see if it was confortable, but it'd hurt and got the idea that the penis wasn't fully erect like it was...

In Portugal I could see normal and XL sizes for sale, but I'm afraid the XL one would get too loose and become dangerous while in the act...

Is the tightness normal?? Should I really try the larger ones?? Just worried because I don't exactly know how to "measure" the ideal condoms...

Thanks and sorry for, possibly, repeating some thread here.

Cheers.

Decided to add that when I leave the skin around the penis and have the condom in, it's easier but again the erection is nothing compared with what I usually notice...

Welcome to A2A, Marl92.

Condoms should be rolled on. If you try to pull it on unrolled like a T-shirt you are likely to have trouble.

That said, you may well need the large size. Try one--it should be tight, but not uncomfortable. It should not interfere with your erection (but of course the stress of doing something new can cause loss of hardness itself . . .).

Large condoms are designed for large girth/thickness, rather than large length. (Length differences are dealt with by making all sizes of condom a good deal longer than the average male, and you just unroll as much as you need.) Ordinary size condoms are designed to fit the average girth (distance around the shaft), around about 4.75 inches, 12 cm.

Thanks for the welcome Ineligible!!

When I tried to put it on, quoting you, like a T-Shirt I was thinking that wxact same thing... "This probably won't be very safe!!"

I will go out tomorrow and buy a pack of larger ones to try on, but good to know how they should "feel" when I have it on!!

Really appreciate the information about the sizes and how to kind of "measure" it!! It was rather helpfull!! Thank you so much!!

You can buy condoms of different sizes and choose the suitable and comfortable for you

I know it may be uncomfortable if the size does not fit well. So you should check size and then buy condom, Here is quick guide on condom size measurement, https://www.condom-sizes.org/condom-brands/a-quick-guide-to-pasante-condoms-pasante-condom-sizes
