Large Size Condoms

About

What size are large size condoms? Large size condom is an umbrella term used for all condoms with a nominal width larger than the nominal width of a regular size (or standard) condom. However, since there are no laws that regulate condom sizes, the size of large size condoms varies from brand to brand. For instance, Glyde Maxi condoms have a nominal width of 56mm, and the brand considers them large. The same brand’s extra large condoms, the Supermax, have a nominal width of 60mm. However, Durex’s standard condoms (what everyone would call “regular size”) have the same nominal width as Glyde Maxi – 56mm. According to Durex’s standards, Glyde Supermax would be a large condom, not an extra large. Likewise, the condoms brand Skins calls its 57mm condoms Extra Large. But most brands would consider extra large a condom with a nominal width that exceeds 64mm. Thus, we can safely say that Skins Extra Large condoms are only large by most standards. With this in mind, we talk about large size condoms when referring to condoms with a nominal width between 56mm and 64mm. Are large size condoms the same as king size? Yes and no. Since there is no law that requires condom manufacturers to stick to certain size standards or names, king size can refer to large and extra large condoms alike. Once again, it depends on the brand, each company having a different vision regarding the king size meaning. To make sure the condoms you want are the right size, you should read the label and make sure the nominal width is right for you. How snug should a condom fit? Do I really need a large size condom? Condoms are supposed to fit tight, but they shouldn’t be uncomfortable. Because latex is an elastic material, standard sized condoms can fit a broad range of penises. However, if a standard size condom (condoms with a nominal width between 52mm and 56mm are considered standard) is too tight and hurts – or if it constantly breaks during intercourse – you might need a large size condom.
