Your Cart is Empty
Without the right size condom, you will always struggle to wear a condom correctly. So this week, The Condom People wish to highlight a company that is placing maximum pleasure and safety at the forefront of their product innovation, as well as being Vegan-friendly!
But why does it matter if I have the right size condom? In our haste to quickly pick up some condoms from our local Boots or chemist, it is unlikely that your chosen condom will be the best option for you and your partner, leading to a less enjoyment sexual experience, and one that is less safe. This quick, last-minute decision is likely to lead to long-term impact as many people cite lack of comfortability as reasons to not wear a condom, which is more often an opinion derived from the experience of wearing a condom that is the wrong size for an individual's penis. As a result, the decision to not wear a condom in future encounters leaves many people vulnerable to STDs and unwanted pregnancies. In contrast, by being pre-emptive and researching which condom is right for you, you can ensure that you have enjoyable sex that is safe for you and your partner.
Critically, the only way to protect against STDs is by using condoms, a key advantage over other contraceptives such as the Pill or the Intrauterine device.
"Sensation is different and less intimate" is a common phrase when it comes to wearing a condom, but more often than not this issue is caused by wearing a condom that is too long meaning it bunches up at the bottom of the penis, a problem that researches have found affects 60-70% of men. This scenario is likely to cause a loss of erection and increase the difficultly of achieving orgasm.
Secondly, a common opinion is that wearing a condom is 'unsexy', but once again this is massively due to the chosen condom and how it functions on the penis. Whether it is too long, short, or wide, the outcome is that the condom will act as both a physical and visual barrier to having a 'sexy experience'.
Two quick key tips:
the condom is too short
the condom is too long
the condom is too tight
the condom is too loose
the condom is difficult to put on quickly
the condom slips or falls off during use
Despite limited research, evidence from the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States illustrate the significance of the number of males who are wearing a condom that is not appropriate for their penis, with feedback highlighting that condoms fall off during sex up to 5.4% of times, whilst in 13% of encounters the condom slips down the penis.
Simple search engine searches highlight how common this issue is with Bing, Yandex, and Google collectively generating over 22 million results for "Condom slipping off during sex". Even more so, as people are coming out of lockdown, The Condom People are watching as searches regarding 'condoms' and more importantly 'condom size topics' increase as people look for their next safe sexual adventure.
Most notably we have undergone keyword research with several keywords increasing in value as more people are searching these on Google, some of the ones we have noticed has included:
A further survey of 2000 people by Superdrugfound that the fear of a condom breaking resulting in unintended pregnancy was feared equally by both men and women, ranking second. Whilst the fear of your partner having an STI ranked above, something that can be mitigated against, only by wearing the right size condom.
Ultimately this means that for those who may already be using a condom, it could be pointless if the condom is not secured around the penis in the correct position, leaving you vulnerable to STDs. Practising safe sex is increasingly important for young people, aged 15-24, who make up 63% of all chlamydia cases in the US, with female-chlamydia cases experiencing a 4.9% year on year increase promoting the CDC to implement new measures to combat this rise in HSV-1 infections.
But wearing the right condom is not just important for young people and those who are sexually active but are not in relationships, instead, condoms should also be an option for those in long-term relationships who wish to prevent unwanted pregnancies, as well as those who just wish to protect themselves.
Furthermore, it is important to remember that STDs can be transmitted through oral, vaginal and anal sex.

One of the key pieces of information on the size guide is regarding the printing format, it is critical that you print the page in "Actual Size" to ensure the measurement tape is printed in its original size, allowing you to get an accurate size.
Using a pair of scissors, carefully cut along the dotted line, ensuring smooth edges.
MY.SIZE condoms are straight and parallel in their design, as such it is best to measure around the thickness part of your erect penis, remembering that the feel should be snug so that the condom will not slip down the penis, but also not too tight that it cuts off circulation to the penis.
Use the additional horizontal line on the measurement tape as a measuring point.
MY.SIZE condoms work by measuring the penis circumference, from which you can understand the ideal condom nominal width for your penis.
It is best to measure more than once to be sure the fit works for you.
One suggestion is to try the condom size one up and one down to see if the slight difference in millimetres is more appropriate for you - remember that even the smallest margins can lead to significant improvement due to the great sensitivity of the penis.
But do not venture too far away from MY.SIZE's recommended size, remembering that more accurate size measurement is meant to prevent the potential of the condom slipping off or restricting you!
Girth or penis circumference is simply the condom's flat width multiplied by 2.
For the average male, condom width is more of an important measurement compared the penis length, despite the obvious popularity of length. The large majority of people will be well served with an average size length for a condom, where the major concerns are in the factor of width, remembering once again the common occurrence of the condom slipping down or off during sex, and the repercussions of this.
