Having sex without the right condom fit could cause great discomfort. An external condom that is too small or too big can break or slip off your penis, increasing the risk of disease contamination and pregnancy. Your ability to orgasm could also be affected. That’s why it’s important to know your condom size in order to have a pleasurable and safe sex. Condom sizes do vary across producers, so what’s “large” to one brand could be “medium” to another. But once you know your penis size, it’ll be easier to find the right condom size for you. Here’s how.
How to measure?
To know what condom size fits best, you’ll need to measure your penis. You can measure with a ruler or measuring tape (preferable). It’s best to measure your penis while erect to get the right size. Measuring a flaccid penis will only get you its minimum size, which means you’ll be purchasing a condom smaller than you need. You’ll need to measure the length, circumference and width of your penis to know the right condom fit. Note that the width is the diameter of your penis while the circumference is the roundness (the distance around the penis). To get the right numbers, you should measure your penis twice. Follow the steps below to measure your penis;
For length
- Place either a measuring tape or ruler at the base of your erect penis.
- Press the tape head or ruler as far as possible into your pubic bone. Fat could cover your penis’ exact length sometimes.
- Measure your erect penis from the base to the end of the tip.
For circumference
- Use a piece of string or flexible measuring tape (preferable),
- Gently wrap the tape or string around the fullest part of your penis’ shaft.
- If using a flexible measuring tape, just mark the tape once it goes around your penis.
- If you’re using a string, mark where the string meets and measure the distance with a ruler.
For width
You could determine your penis width the same way you’ll solve for the diameter of a circle. To do this, divide the girth measurement by 3.14 the resulting digit is your width.
