Condoms

Post by xTyl »

I've been struggling to find the right type of condoms because the condoms I've tried have fit comfortably on the shaft but really tight on the head of my penis. What kind should I be looking for?

Hi xTyl. I wonder if larger condoms might work for you, considering how condoms "sit" on your penis at the moment. You might want to check out this condom guide we have: Your Map to the Condom Aisle

I'm just worried a larger one would be too big because the standard ones fit comfortably except on the head.

Hi!

It might be worth trying a larger size just to see if it does fit. When you say the fit is too tight on the tip with regular sized condoms, is it uncomfortable/painful? Too, when you put the condom on, are you leaving room at the tip for the reservoir?

Yes, it's been uncomfortable/painful and I have been leaving room at the tip.

Ah, I understand. Yeah, if it’s uncomfortable and painful I’d certainly suggest trying a bigger size. There’s actually a few different sizes out there across different condom brands, so while it may take a little trial and error, you should be able to find a larger condom that still fits the base too. One condoms (the brand) has a sizing tool on their website which might be helpful!
