How to choose correct size condom

Condoms are still the most effective way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Men have been using them for over 11,000 years, after all, so the technology is pretty sound. But a condom's got to fit right--not so loose it slips off or so tight it breaks. This is where knowing your exact size really helps. How to Pick the Best Condom The most important measurement for picking a condom is girth, not length. To get a very rough estimate, slide a toilet paper roll around your erect penis. If there is extra room, you qualify as "small." If it fits about right, then "medium." If it is too tight, "large." Cool trick. Using that measure, the best condom for six inches would be a small. Or, use a tape measure or a piece of string to measure from the base to the tip of the penis while erect. Take the width measurement as well, around the penis at mid-shaft. If you're... Length: 6 to 7 inches Width: 1.7 to 2 inches Get... Size: Small If you're... Length: 7 to 7.9 inches Width: 2.05 to 2.13 inches Get... Size: Medium If you're... Length: 8 inches and up Width: 2.13 to 2.3 inches Get... Size: Large If you're... Length: Under 8 inches Width: 2.3 inches and up Get... Size: Extra Large This story originally appeared on . * Minor edits have been made by the Esquiremag.ph editors.

They look kind of like a plastic tube with rings on either end, with one ring fitting on the inside of the body and one covering the outside entryway. Like male condoms, female condoms are considered class II medical devices that can protect against pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases and infections. They are much larger than male condoms, and are made with similar latex and non-latex material options. The CDC recommends not using female condoms with male condoms -- this can cause tearing which can lead to pregnancy and STI transmission. They also recommend not reusing female condoms, they're one and done. How do female condoms feel? After working through the initial new-and-awkward phase, female condoms can feel amazing for both partners. Unlike male condoms, which require a phallus or erection nearby, internal condoms can be inserted and stay inserted hours before sex even starts. When things start to get heated, the internal and external rings help stimulate the inside and outside sensations for each partner. For added pleasure, internal condoms come pre-lubed, and play nice with most water and silicone-based lubes. Find out more about natural and personal lubricants that work best with condoms. Added pleasure, combined with added sexual protection, has led to many people to prefer internal condoms to their external counterparts. When you and your partner(s) are in the mood to have sex, it's easy to grab any condom available. However, there are various types of condoms and choosing the right one for you and your body depends on multiple factors. Here's what you need to know about how an external condom should fit -- from choosing the correct size to the best material. Why condom fit is important Not all condoms can be used on any penis, and finding the right fit is important for comfort and proper protection.If you use a poor-fitting condom, it can result in:Additionally, "using a poor-fitting condom increases the likelihood of removing it and continuing sex without it," says Sarah Melancon, PhD, a sociologist and clinical sexologist.According to Melancon and Alex Shteynshlyuger, MD, director of urology at New York Urology Specialists, signs a condom isn't fitting correctly include: Taking your measurements While every condom will fit a range of people, getting the right fit and comfort requires knowing your penis measurements.Because condoms tend to stretch, the regular size should fit most penises as long as they're fully erect, says Shteynshlyuger. However, some people may find they get more enjoyment when wearing a slimmer or wider option. When determining the size of your penis for condom fit, it's important to look at length and width. "Measure the penis while erect, both length--from base to tip--and circumference--around the widest part," says Melancon. "Circumference can be measured using a flexible measuring tape, like those used in sewing, or a strip of paper that you can then hold against a ruler."Most major condom brands have size charts online to see which options are the best fit for you. Finding the right condom size While there is a standard range for condom sizes, each brand will vary slightly in the measurements of their snug, standard, and large options. After measuring yourself, you will have a general idea of which category to look for and can compare brands' options in that size for the best fit for your penis."Choose a size that is as close as possible to your penis size," says Melancon. "Buy individual condoms of several different sizes and brands to test which fits best."These are the common width measurement guides for condoms: A condom should cover the entirety of the penis while leaving a little extra room at the top to hold any ejaculation. These are the common length measurement guides for condoms: How to properly put on a condomOnce you've found the right condom, the next step is properly putting it on. "Condoms should be put on when the penis is fully erect, and the foreskin is retracted," says Shteynshlyuger. Here's how to properly put on a condom:Check the expiration date. Make sure there is air in the packageSlide the condom to one side as you pull the material to open the package. Do not use your teeth or scissors to open the package. Once opening a new condom -- never reuse one -- place it on the tip of your fully erect penis. Lightly hold either the protruding tip or a half-inch of the condom's top to create space for any ejaculation. Then gently roll the condom down the entirety of the penis to its base.If a condom does not roll down easily, the condom may be inside out. In that case, remove the condom and start fresh with a new one to avoid any potential tearing and exposure of fluid from the head of the penis to the inside of another person's body. Always check if it is inside out before attempting to put it on. To easily check, sit the condom upright -- it's rim should be on the outside. Choosing the right condom materialComfort and allergies are factors to consider when choosing condom material:"In general, studies show no dramatic difference in terms of breakage and slippage between latex and polyurethane condoms, but it appears that latex condoms have a slight edge with less risk of breakage or unwanted pregnancy," says Shteynshlyuger. Latex and polyurethane condoms are the most effective options in preventing STDs. Lambskin condoms only prevent pregnancy and polyisoprene condoms can be more expensive than latex or polyurethane condoms. Insider's takeaway External condoms typically come in three categories of sizes based on length and girth of the penis: snug, standard, and large. After measuring your penis, choosing a correctly fitting condom can prevent discomfort, tearing, the spread of STDs, pregnancy, and loss of pleasure. The condom's material also affects the experience, with latex, polyurethane, polyisoprene, and lambskin as the leading material choices.Related articles from Health Reference: Last reviewed: 03/02/2021Medically reviewedAll of Healthily's articles undergo medical safety checks to verify that the information is medically safe.

It can feel awkward to get out a ruler or tape measure and start measuring your penis. But did you know that wearing the wrong-size condom can make sex uncomfortable? And, more importantly, it might not provide proper protection. So read on to learn more about condoms, why size matters and how to find the right fit for you. Why do I need a condom that fits well? There are many types of contraception, but condoms are the only method that protects against both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). There are 2 types: external (or male), which are worn on a penis, and internal (or female), which are worn inside a vagina. Here, the focus is on external condoms ? for more information about both, you can read condoms (male and female). External condoms are 98% effective, if you use them properly every time you have sex. This means that a condom needs to be: the right size worn the right way undamaged in date (there will be a use-by date on the packaging) used once only Penises vary in size, and just as you need to wear the right-size clothes, you need a condom that fits well. Using the wrong-sized condom can increase the risk of pregnancy and STIs, and may affect your ability to orgasm, too. A condom that's too small will be tight, which can be uncomfortable and means it's more likely to rip or burst. On the other hand, a condom that's too big will be loose around the tip or base of the penis, so it's more likely to slip off during sex. How do I know what condom size is right for me? Before you buy condoms, it's a good idea to measure your penis. To get the right size, you need to measure it when it's hard (erect) ? otherwise you might end up buying condoms that are too small. Use a ruler or measuring tape to check the length, girth (thickness) and width of your erect penis. For length, measure from the base (lightly pressing on your pubic bone) to the tip of your penis. A ruler might be easier than measuring tape here. For the girth, use a flexible measuring tape and gently wrap it around the thickest part of your penis. If you don't have a measuring tape, you can use a piece of string, then measure it with a ruler. And to work out the width, simply divide your girth measurement by 3.14. When it comes to finding the right-size condom, the girth of your penis may be more important than the length. The condom should feel comfortable on and not fall off. What are the different sizes of male condoms available? Condom sizes will usually be stated on the packaging. There are generally 3 types: smaller fit condoms, which may say `snug', `trim', or `close fit' regular fit condoms, sometimes called `standard' larger fit condoms, which often say `XL' Condom makers have to follow International Organization for Standardization (ISO) guidelines, but these guidelines do allow for a certain range in width and length measurements. This means that what's called `regular' in 1 brand of condom may be `large' in another. Of course, measurements aren't always going to be 100% accurate, so it's a good idea to check if your chosen condom fits before you use it. There are also a lot of myths and misunderstandings about condoms, so make sure you know the facts.
