Male Advice Preferred: Condom size?

[theawesomeman]

What condom size should i use and does the size change by brand?
My penis is beetween 4 3/4 and 5 inches when erect.
So if anyone could answer my questions thanks.

[Aletheia*]

It just depends. Try using different brands, since like clothes, sizes may differ.

Also, I'm unsure or not if you're allowed to post the size of your penis as others may find it triggering. Just so your aware.

Hi there,

I took the size numbers out of your post, since content like that could be triggering to some users, as Shannon stated. Depending on what company the condoms are made by, the size will vary. I would check the back of several different types of boxes, to see if they have anything more specific than "large", etc for the size label. If that doesn't work, I would just buy a couple of different sizes, and see what fits best.

Take care!

Considering the Mod took away the number, I can't answer.

[theawesomeman]

do you guys know which brands are bigger and which are smaller?

[theawesomeman]

Oh, and Verita, if i changed the prefix to "triggering" than could i post my erect length since it is needed to answer my question?

[MichWolverineFreak]

As far as i know, small condoms are stretchy enough to fit over most penises, probably up to 7 inches. It could potentially break though, so watch out.

[Aletheia*]

To the above poster: wearing a condom that doesn't fit means more risk of it breaking. Yes, condoms stretched, but condoms aren't meant to stretch that much.

To the OP, each brand comes with a series of different sizes. There is no one brand that has one size, while the other brand has the different size. I'd recommend the Trojan brand, as they have a variety of different kinds of condoms to choose from in a variety of different sizes.

Ok, i have alot of stuff to say so:
@Zelophobia, i can see how my question about the size of the brands could have been misenterpreted but what i meant was which brands run a little bit bigger or smaller than others like, for example, if one brands small fits 3-4 inch penises and another brands small fits 4-5 inch penises.

and can i just buy them from kroger or walmart or walgreens or CVS etc. where do they sell them

and how are trojan condoms the best?

All stores such as those will have condoms, even lots of grocery stores have them.
Trojan condoms get lots of hype, but I cannot tell you for sure if they are the best.

[Aletheia*]

I didn't say that Trojan's were the best. All I said was that they have a wide variety of condoms. They are, for the most part, the most well known condom, and it's the kind I've used in the past.

All of the stores you've mentioned will sell condoms. They are usually in the back of the store, where they sell hygiene and other products. Mainly in the "Health & Beauty" section, or near the pharmacy section. It just depends on the store.

Trojans are just the most popular. Different brands don't change drastically in size.

Condoms aren't like a shoe, a difference of an inch or two isn't going to matter. Going up in size with a condom doesn't even make it much longer, most of them only get wider, because that's what matters.

[Maloo]

I personally think durex condoms are smaller than trojan ones.

[Revolution]

Sizes of condoms really don't matter much, the average size fits the majority of people. (For proof, I've been able to put a regular size condom over my entire arm, so they stretch pretty large, and your size is near average. You're fine.)

Brand really doesn't matter. Get a bunch of singles, find out what you like best. Good luck!

Most condoms have the same sizes depending on length. You won't really find one brand that has a tighter band if it's the same size as another . An average, normal sized condom will fit an average penis, ie. 4-5 inches.

Condoms are sold in many places. You can buy them at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, etc. They are given out for free in places also, such as Planned Parenthood.

I think only one person mentioned this but, I'm gonna say it again... The length is important, but the width is what really matters when you pick out the condom size. Because, as above posters have said, condoms can stretch length wise, but width... not so much. So, I would look up condom sizes on google or whatever and do some research. When I wanted to know, that's what I did and it helped alot.
-Good Luck.

[escape_thereal_world]

Most condoms come in "Regular" or "Large" etc.

You obviously want to go with Regular or Standard. Condoms stretch a bit, and that's fine but you definitely don't want it to feel like it's your second skin. 1) uncomfortable 2) Breaks easier
So I suggest trying one brand. If it doesn't feel comfortable, is loose at all, or if it feels too tight...then try a different brand. Generally speaking, condom size isn't the issue as much as the comfortableness is since most condoms will fit just about any size.

Also, I agree with the above user. Google can be your best friend on this. There is so much information on the internet now, doing some research can help. You can find statistics on which condom brands are preferred by people and which ones to avoid. Maybe you can find the sizes or a recommendation.

We use Trojan, also. But for awhile they started to fit tighter. So we went to a different type of Trojan condoms and these work for us now.

go with a magnum, always fits and has extra room for u kno wat

[theawesomeman]

#1 Ok so when i go to buy it at CVS or Walgreens would they be sitting or hanging on a shelf somewhere and if so what section or would i have to go to the checkout or medicine part to get them.

#2 Would they even let me buy them/ are there age restrictions for them and on this question if someone could post a link to a website that says it that would be great.

#3 Should i have towels ready (shes a virgin)

#4 Can i rent a hotel/motel for us? Are there age restrictions for renting motel rooms and again on this question if someone could post a link of the age restrictions at different hotels/motels and at different states that would be great.

Thanks

#1 Ok so when i go to buy it at CVS or Walgreens would they be sitting or hanging on a shelf somewhere and if so what section or would i have to go to the checkout or medicine part to get them.

They should be on a shelf, hanging. They're usually found in the pharmacy section, but you could also check where they keep pregnancy tests, tampons & pads as well. They could be found in either section. It just depends on the pharmacy's layout itself. Check near the checkout aisles to see if you can find any, then go and check the other areas.

#2 Would they even let me buy them/ are there age restrictions for them and on this question if someone could post a link to a website that says it that would be great.

There are no age restrictions on condoms. They won't ask your age.

#3 Should i have towels ready (shes a virgin)

It's always a good idea to have some towels ready just in case. Leave them nearby. She may not bleed, but it's always best to be prepared in case she does.

#4 Can i rent a hotel/motel for us? Are there age restrictions for renting motel rooms and again on this question if someone could post a link of the age restrictions at different hotels/motels and at different states that would be great.

You won't be able to rent a hotel room. At 13, you're too young. To rent a motel/hotel room, you'd need a valid credit or debit card, and proof that it's your credit or debit card. To rent a motel room, the age is usually 18+, and for hotels, it's usually 21+. So, you're too young to rent a room for the two of you.

[escape_thereal_world]

Shannon is correct on everything she has provided. Though I know at the pharmacies around here they are not hanging but instead on shelves. So I guess it depends on the store.
At most of the stores near me they are near the pharmacy but in an aisle with tampons and pads. Ironically right beside pregnancy tests.

So just look around those aisles. They can be hard to miss sometimes, because some stores only carry a few brands and types.

Also, even if she doesn't bleed, sex can be kind of messy. So towels are definitely wanted and a great item to have prepared beforehand.

[Revolution]

Can't do a hotel, you're too young. I had trouble finding a hotel that would allow a 19 year ond an 18 year old. So sadly, no. I would recommend just have a day where you can both just be at home. And please, I'd really recommend against Magnum's. They're unnecessary, waste of money, and can actually slip off. You're not going to need them, nothing against you, you just don't...Nobody does.
