Not every guy is born with a same-sized penis hanging between their legs.
Being of a smaller size or an extra-large size doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to have fun. The key is to have fun while also being safe and protected regardless of size.
Getting a condom that actually fits is more crucial than you may think. If it’s too big, it will just slide right off during sex, while a small one can easily break and become useless.
There’s nothing wrong with being on the smaller or larger end of things, all you need to know is how to properly measure it and find the right-sized condoms.
Here are a few things that can help you.
How to Properly Measure Your Penis?
The right condom fit requires the correct dimensions of your junk.
There are two ways you can measure yourself, but make sure either way that you’re fully erect first.
Measuring a flaccid penis for condom size is a quick way to be in an unfavorable spot in the bedroom.
1. Toilet Paper Roll
This is the easiest and fastest way to measure yourself but is a bit less accurate. Head to the bathroom and grab a leftover cardboard tube from the center of a toilet paper roll. After that, just make sure you have a fully erect penis and try to shove yourself in there.
Oddly enough, a regular-sized condom is almost the exact size of that cardboard tube. The thickest part of a healthy penis should be the base of the head, so you’ll be basing your size on how easy it is to squeeze that inside.
If when you stick your penis in you:
- Barely fit with pain or effort - You’re going to need a large or magnum condom for a comfortable fit during sex.
- Fit in the tube without much effort - You will find the best fit in a regular condom. You should still take up a fair amount of the tube, but actually inserting wasn’t a difficult task.
- Fit in the tube with plenty of extra room - A smaller condom or one with a snugger fit will be your best bet.
2. The Official Measurements
A flexible measuring tape is your best bet here, but you can get by with a ruler and some string. The three factors you’re searching for in your penis size are length, girth, and width. Measure twice just to make sure your numbers line up!
When you’re measuring:
- For length - Start the ruler or measuring tape at the base of your penis, and be sure to push as close to the pelvic bone as possible. Simply make a note of your length from the base to the tip.
- For girth - Wrap the measuring tape or string around the thickest part of your shaft (not too tightly) and make a note of the distance once it goes all the way around.
- For width - Just grab a basic calculator. Divide your girth by 3.14, and you have your penis width.

FAQs
Is using two condoms better than using only one?
In some cases, more is better, but not when it comes to condoms. The friction between the two condoms is much more likely to cause a break than if you were having sex with just one.
If you and your partner want to double up on a contraceptive, then use a different method like the pill or a vaginal ring as the second option.
How do I make sure my condom is safe to use?
Each condom should come with an expiration date, so try to use it before that time to prevent accidental pregnancy or catching any STI’s. You wouldn’t drink milk that expired three weeks ago, would you?
Storage is also something that’s commonly overlooked. Believe it or not, a wallet is a terrible place to keep a condom despite being easy to pull out on a whim. Find a cool, dry spot for your condom storage to avoid any abrasion or accidental punctures.
Do condoms break easily?
No, they do not. Condom manufacturers go through a rigorous quality control test to ensure that their products don’t break or tear during use.
The most common reason a condom will break is using one that is not fitted correctly. Using a condom size that fits you is the best way to avoid it breaking during sex.
Final Words
Again, there’s no reason to be ashamed of no matter how your penis is sized and shaped, but it does require a bit more effort to find quality protection.
It will only take you five minutes tops to fully measure yourself and start finding condoms that work for you.
The X condoms we listed here are great options, but there’s still more out there if none of them fit your needs.
There are plenty of guys out there going through the same process, so keep your head high and your sex lives safe.
