The large ones work nicely just eases the pressure off enough that it's not uncomfortable or affects the hard on.
I fine the pasente (spelling?) Ones are awful though.
Ebay/amazon is definitely the way to go buy in bulk for hardly more than a 6 pack in the pharmacy |

Well I've always found that normal sized Durex are kinda tight to put on but never really looked into trying out larger ones.
Was just seeing what other guys use  |

They have different nominal widths Usual is about 53mm large is about 56mm doesn't sound much but it makes a big difference in terms of comfort and pressure.
Oh but never buy the trojan magnums both the regular ones and the xl ones are the same size and both are actually about the same size as regular durex condoms they're just a marketing gimmick with a huge markup |

He's just told me that he finds female condoms the most comfortable and pleasant to use. So there we go. Try female condoms if you sometimes struggle with being hard in a male condom. |

They are vastly less protective though. |

Must have improved significantly as the figure used to be in 80% region for correct use and below 60% as meta data because most people don't get them in/remove them correctly. |

I believe in the last 15 years or so they've started using a new material.
Personally I find them easier to put in than putting a condom on a man. You just stick the closed end in your vagina, then the man sticks his penis inside the big ring that's outside your vagina. It's really very simple. |

S struggles with regular condoms and the Skyn large condoms work a treat. They're also very often on offer in Superdrug and Boots. Plus latex free and they seem to keep me lubed up longer.
The durex large ones are more for length rather than girth in his opinion, to him they feel just as tight also regular durex. |

"I'm quite a big guy so I use magnum xl's although they are pretty thick so they desensitise the feeling a bit"
If they're the trojan brand one they're the same size as the standard magnums and both are smaller than durex larges. |

Condom sizes and other websites say they are slightly bigger, not by a lot though |

As at least one d*unken party goer always proves you can fit a standard condom on your head so it really isn't an issue unless a standard is baggy on you. |

One of my playmates used a passante, and tho the rubber itself was ok, the ring turned into a bit of an uncomfortable cock ring.. after he had cum, he tried waiting several minutes for his cock to go down so it was easier to get off - but the 'ring' was so tight it wasn't happening lol 
He said he usually used the durex larger size, but at the time we were out, and passante was all I had on me. |

I am apparently "well endowed" and used Durex XL successfully for a few years but on starting a new relationship and using them again I found they were much tighter on me and difficult to put on and keep on during sex.
I have since tried some TheyFit custom size ones after reading recommendations on here and found they fitted me properly and much more comfortable (my girth turning out to be 6mm larger than Durex XL and most of the mainstream brands that do larger sizes). |

"5.5 inch girth ??!
Really
ssshhh, it is quite easy to get girth and length mixed up - just look at the chap with a 7'' girth "
Length is 8.5 and the 7" is around the thickest part of the head of it its 6" around the middle of the shaft |

I have a lot of girth too. And have always found standard condoms too tight and have had splits over the years.
since I started using the skyn large brand I've had no problems.
thoroughly recommend them. |

6ins girth here, but normal length. I use, and really like, Magnum "Ecstasy" which are made to be loose around your cock shaft (apart from the ring at the base to keep them on) and they do make fucking in a condom feel more natural. Can also recommend Magnum "Her Pleasure" and the German make "My Size" which come in 6 different sizes. I get mine from British Condoms on line.
For those who think larger condoms are just a gimmick, I've had several normal size ones split but never one of the larger ones. It's also a lot more comfortable when your cock isn't squeezed tight. If your cock is girthy, try a larger one. |

As long as you don't catch them with a nail, they are quite pliable and stretchy. Try stretching them as you put them on. I have been told I am quite 'girthy' and, yes, some are more difficult than others to roll on, but with a bit of stretching. At least they don't come off. |

Getting the right condom makes a huge difference.
I use Trojan magnums or skyn large condoms.
Ironically I find smaller condone tend to fall/pull off during intercourse, whereas a larger one sits still.
I also find I get a lot more sensitivity from them too.
Google condom sizing charts, it was only after I'd done this I realised I needed large condoms but glad I did as it's a much better experience now.
I tend to use skyns because they are also latex free, incase you face any potential allergy issues when playing.

I disagree I have always hated conforms because they kept slipping off, turns out they were too small. Never have that issue with correctly fitting ones.

I stand corrected!
Admittedly I have had the odd one come off, so next stop google! |

For those with a thicker cock it actually makes a difference. The regular ones can feel a little too tight. Thankfully there are condoms made to suite the needs or guys with more generous girth.
I use SKYN Large and I am happy with them. |

Durex are shit. Try Skyn Extra Large by Mates. My ex had a really thick 8 incher and they were his favourite. Plus they are latex free. |

Condoms are not condoms size varies or else you want to risk it slipping off and uncomfortable adjusting every second. |

Looking at your profile pics I can only assume you want them so you can do that trick where you put it on your head and blow it up? |

All right,jeez. I'd go back to school if I wanted a reply as petty as yours. I hope the satisfication you got from writing that was worth it for you
I wasn't saying I was massive at all, I just asked what other people used as I found one particular brand a bit tight at times.
I won't bother asking anything next time. Thanks for the people who were helpful, much appreciated |

Size can be an issue if you are alot wider than the norm.
We tried the large skynz condoms but they were still tight so did more research
The answer was a mail order company called Mysize , they have a guide chart and you will get a comfortable fit
I think its mysize.com but google will help |

For those who suggest condom size doesn't make a difference - it does! The day you discover the right size of condom is a revelation and changes your attitude to them a bit ...
I'm lucky in that Skyns XL fit me well, are widely available and are non-latex - they aren't all that XL, BTW!
... but the best range of options has to be MySize (which are Latex) which come in SEVEN sizes! It's worth looking at their site and measuring instructions, even if you then use their measurements to match-up another condom brand (you can find 'flat' measurements for most condoms somewhere online). |

"Has anybody use the They fit condoms from online site which offer a printable sizing template to get a better fit"
Yip, the measuring process is odd, mine came way to big, so the measurement you give them is what you get. They don't take into consideration that it needs to fit snug so it's up to you to decide how much to take off your original measurements.
When I gave my feedback I was offered a second purchase at a discounted rate lol.
Other than that they are really thick condoms, not worth the cash IMO. |

Does make a difference. I (male!) am very happy to use eg Trojan Magnums. Happy at swinging clubs, etc. Too tight condoms - not so good. |

"I'm sorry to sound really bitchy but why would 5.5 inches struggle to fit in most condoms?"
90% of population have a cock between 4 and 6.3 inches long, and less than 5 inches around girth.
If he is 5.5 girth then he is in the top 10% percentile of endowed men. I have the same problem, Durex designs are made mainly for mass market so cocks less than 5 inch girth.
There is a condom chart online but personally pleasure max the pink durex, avanti the purple and xxl are the only durex that will fit us |

Not ideal for anal either cumming in her arse without a condom. Best to suit up with a tailored measurement fit for a long schlong |
