Condoms and Uncircumcised Penises

---

From what I’ve heard, it’s recommended you retract because otherwise during intercourse the skin gets pushed back and that action stretches the material thin and makes it break. I don’t really understand what’s going to push the skin back if it’s covered with something, but eh :P

i'd like to know whats the best brand or type of condom for the uncut penis? i had many problems with this. can someone that is uncut help

Upon further reading, you two are right.

I've never really had any problem with condoms and my uncircumcised penis. I've used both the Trojan supras, and the trojan original unlubricated and both worked fine.

Do you retract the foreskin before applying the condom?

Yes. Then again I don't see how else you could get the condom on. My foreskin pretty much retracts itself when I get an erection so it's near impossible to get a condom on with the foreskin up.

Have you used different kinds of condoms to see which one works best?. I'm uncut and when I'm hard, my skin slides back on its own, and like you, I have no trouble sliding it back when I'm soft...but when I put a condom on, I slide my skin back and it stays retracted...but I only use the "ultrathin" kind by Trojan...comes in a like a lightblue-ish box..and they fit great.Try using one with your skin pulled forward and see if it tears, I personally have never heard of a condom breaking due to the foreskin...see what works and doesn't and then talk to your doc, see if he has another alternative other than getting cut.

Thanks for your replies. I saw a doctor today about the problem and he said that my Frenulum is definately too short. He said I have three options; circumcision, frenuloplasty or do nothing at all. He gave me a referral to see a surgeon about either of the first two options. He also suggested if I do nothing, to apply the condom with the forskin forward and use spermicide or the pill as insurance. He said I have a good chance of tareing the fren if I have sex with the skin retracted. Now I have to decide between circ or plasty, any suggestions?

I would go for frenuloplasty. It's a much smaller operation, and much less drastic in its effects. If you don't find that satisfactory (which is unlikely) you can still go from there to circumcision, whereas you can't go the other way.

Try the frenuloplasty if applying the condom with the foreskin over the glans does not work as you will still be able to enjoy the benefits of having a foreskin.

i kno this is unrelated to the posters question but i have a related question. i am uncut but my forskin does not retract nd i have a great deal of difficulty putting condoms on and making them stay on, any sugestions?

Are the condoms the right size - tight but not unplesantly tight?

it might of been wrong size, it was a loner off a friend, it was quite uncomforatble but it was the only one i had at the time. ill try nd find owt. thnx for the help

You might want to measure the girth (circumference around) your erect shaft - this is what determines the proper size.

how would i go about doing that? i always thought small medium and large was refering to length

Take a fabric tape measure and wrap it around your shaft (erect, and about the middle of the shaft). Take the measurement where the end of the tape meets the tape.

If you can't get a fabric tape measure, you can use a strip of paper or some (non-stretchy) string. Wrap it around, mark where it meets itself, then straighten it out and measure with a ruler.

Length doesn't matter for condoms, because they are made long and you only unroll them as far as needed. The big ones are only a little longer than the small ones. But girth affects tightness.

ineligible is correct, generally condoms are sized like this (ive only used Trojans so thats all i can give u... TROJAN MAN!!!)regular sized condoms are about 4.5 inch's girth, and 7.5 inch's length (if your dick is thicker, the length will shorten to compensate.)Large magnums are about 5 inch's girth, and 8 inch's length, (yet again if your dick is thicker, the length will shorten to compensate.)XL magnums, (personal favorite) are about 5 3/4 girth, and a bit under 8.5 in length, (again, if your dick is thicker, the length will shorten to compensate.) oh, one suggestion, do not try the twister head magnums, there quite uncomfortable, look ugly... and feel just... weird...hope this helped you with picking a better sized condom...oh, if you need any condoms bigger than that... the only one bigger is durex xxl and its length is almost 10 inchs long! girth is 6 inchs. you better be hangin some major meat before you buy one of those!!!
