Choosing the Right Size Condom For You
It’s an important, and popular question that most condom users – both new and veteran condom users – ask: What size condom do I need? What’s the right condom size for me?
For more supply and variety of condoms and lubes than you will find at your local drugstore or Walmart, order online from a specialty site like GetCondomsAndLubes.com.
Studies have shown that almost half of all people who use condoms feel their condom of choice did not fit properly. About a third of condom users feel the condom was too tight, or very tight. No wonder condom users ask about choosing the right size condom.
So here’s what you do:
Pinch the closed end of the condom when first putting it on, before rolling it. Pinching the condom in this way leaves room for any air pressure that builds up, helping to prevent the condom from bursting. Once you’ve done that, roll it down, all the way (otherwise, it might slip off during intercourse).
Once the condom is on all the way, pay attention NOW (before any sexual activity) to how it feels. If it’s too loose, with space between the condom and skin, it might slip off… it’s too big. On the other hand, if it’s too tight, it may break during intercourse – big problem there! The root cause of condoms breaking is due to the girth of the user’s shaft, not his length. So, in this case, you need a wider condom than what you’re currently using.
Use adequate lubrication. Yes, I know many condoms are already lubed right out of the package. But for extra peace of mind, easpecially during heavy sexual sessions, use more lubricant. Be sure to only use water-based lubes since oil-based lubricant can cause the condom to break.
The best tip for getting the correct size condom is to get a variety of condoms and try them all. Get a variety pack. Get different brands and styles. Try them on in your “spare” time, i.e. free time that isn’t leading up to sex. Get a feel in advance for what’s too tight, and what’s too loose. Then have those condoms on hand when you’re about to have intercourse.
These critical steps will help you in choosing the right size condom.
