How to Choose the Right Size and Kind of Condom: Your Complete Guide to Comfort, Pleasure, and Safety

Finding the perfect condom isn’t just about protection — it’s also about pleasure, comfort, and confidence. A condom that fits right and feels right makes intimacy more enjoyable for both partners. But with so many types, textures, and sizes available, it can get confusing to know which one suits you best.

This guide breaks down how to find your ideal condom size and type, how to use it properly, and how to know if it fits perfectly. Plus, we’ll introduce some of our most loved options like OLO Condoms and Trojan Magnum Large Lubricated Condoms, available now at MorningAfterPillCebu.com.

Step 1: Measure the Length

  • Get a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string and ruler.

  • Measure from the base of the penis (where it meets your body) up to the tip while fully erect.

  • This number, in millimeters (mm), will help you pick the right condom length.

👉 Most men fall between 160mm and 200mm, which is why most standard condoms are designed at 160mm in length.

If your penis is:

🧠 Tip: If your condom feels short but still covers the shaft comfortably and doesn’t roll back up, you’re fine. Length mainly affects coverage, but it’s not the top factor for comfort.

🧠 Why Condom Fit and Type Matter

Using a condom that’s too tight or too loose can affect more than just your comfort. It can also affect safety and pleasure:

  • Too tight → can feel uncomfortable, restrict blood flow, and increase the risk of breakage.

  • Too loose → can slip off during intercourse, reducing protection.

  • Wrong texture → can either enhance or lessen pleasure depending on your preference and your partner’s sensitivity.

When the fit is right, you’ll feel more confident, protected, and connected.

Step 2: Check the Condom’s Width (Base Width)

Every condom also has a “width” — that’s how snug or roomy it feels.

  • A 52mm width is the regular fit (standard size).

  • A 55mm width or more is for large sizes.

  • A 58mm+ width is for XL or XXL sizes.

🧠 Important: Between length and width, width matters more for overall comfort and safety.

  • If your condom is too tight, it can break or feel uncomfortable.

  • If it’s too loose, it can slip off during sex.

  • A perfect fit should feel snug, not squeezed.

Think of it like wearing shoes — if they’re a bit shorter, you’ll notice, but if they’re too tight or too loose on the sides, you’ll feel uncomfortable right away. The same goes for condoms. So while length ensures coverage, width ensures comfort and protection.

🎯 How to Know If Your Condom Fits Right

You’ll feel the difference when you’re wearing the right one:

Fits snugly without being tight.
No slippage or rolling down during use.
No ring marks or discomfort after removal.
Feels natural and secure.

If you notice any of these, you might need a different size:

  • It feels too tight or hurts → Try a larger size.

  • It slides off or feels loose → Try a smaller size.

  • It breaks often → Might be too tight or expired.

🧵 Condom Types: Choosing Based on Sensation & Purpose

The size is just one part of the experience. The texture, thickness, and material can also make a big difference.

1. Ultra-Thin Condoms

OLO Black Ultra Thin (160mm, 52mm)

  • Almost like wearing nothing.

  • Designed for heightened sensitivity.

  • Best for couples who want a “barely there” experience while staying protected.

💡 Tip: Ultra-thin doesn’t mean fragile. They’re just as safe as regular condoms when used correctly.

2. Dotted Condoms

OLO Red Dotted (160mm, 52mm)

  • Has raised dots for added friction and stimulation.

  • Great for enhancing your partner’s pleasure.

💕 Ideal for couples who want extra texture for more sensation.

3. Ribbed + Dotted Condoms

OLO Gold Ribbed + Dotted (160mm, 52mm)

  • Combines ribs and dots for double the stimulation.

  • Perfect for couples who love experimenting with sensations.

🎉 A fun choice if you want to spice up your routine.

4. Large Condoms

Trojan Magnum Large Lubricated Condoms (180–200mm, 55mm base width, 62mm midshaft)

  • Designed for those who need extra room.

  • Lubricated for smooth comfort.

  • Trusted by men who find standard condoms too tight.

👍 If standard condoms leave marks or feel restrictive, this is your match.

5. Lubricated Condoms

All featured OLO and Trojan condoms are lubricated.

  • Lubrication reduces friction, making intercourse smoother and more comfortable.

  • If extra moisture is needed, you can also use a water-based lubricant (available on our shop).

⚠️ Never use oil-based lubricants with latex condoms — they can weaken the material.

✋ How to Properly Use a Condom

Even the best condom won’t work if used incorrectly. Follow these simple steps every time:

  1. Check the expiration date.

  2. Open carefully – avoid using teeth or sharp objects.

  3. Pinch the tip (to leave space for semen) and roll it down on the erect penis.

  4. After ejaculation, hold the base before pulling out.

  5. Dispose properly in the trash (never flush).

🧠 Fun fact: Using condoms correctly every time can reduce the risk of pregnancy and STIs by over 98%.

📏 How to Measure for the Right Condom Size

Most people don’t know their condom size because it’s rarely taught. But finding your perfect size is actually simple — and once you do, sex becomes more comfortable, safer, and more enjoyable.

You only need to measure two things:

  1. Length (how long you are when fully erect)

  2. Width (how snug the condom should feel around you)

💡 Tips for Maximum Comfort and Safety
  • Try different types to discover your preference.

  • Store in a cool, dry place (avoid wallets or direct heat).

  • Use one condom at a time (never double up).

  • Pair with water-based lubricants for smoother play.

❤️ The Best Condom is the One That Fits You

Choosing the right condom size and type is about knowing your body and understanding your needs. A perfect fit means safer, more enjoyable sex — and a more confident you. Whether you’re after that natural feel with OLO Black, want extra stimulation with OLO Red or Gold, or need more room with Trojan Magnum, there’s a perfect option waiting for you.
