Magnum XLs v. Magnum See PIC

So what you think. Magnum XL (gold wrapper or spermicidal one black wrraper) for this bad boy OR regular MAGNUMS. Trojan Large are just too damn tight. XL can sometimes be a lil loose but Id rather have space then POP. LOL

I dident realize the color of the wraper meant spermicidal or non spermicidal. Ive never noticed it on the box but have had them with black and gold.

Dude, i havent seen Trojan large (green pack) in years, those fit nice and snug and PERFECT for me.. i use Regular Magnums and im 7.5 x 5.5 or x around.. Latly ive been using the Trogen Twisters becuase it gives a bit more head room for my piercing.. I say go with a secure fit.. then again, i like things tight around my shaft

I thought that too initialy. I thought they just felt like getting goldish whenever. But I know for the black wrapper ones it has Sperm sensations lubricant, sorry I put spermicadal earlier.

My one piece of advise is AVOID condoms with spermicide. The active ingredients have detergent properties, and cause irritation. It's proposed that while helpful against pregnancy, those with spermicide almost "promote" the transmission of STDs, in that the irritated mucous tissues actually have "micro-tearing", and are much more vulnerable to viral transmissions, if exposed.

Unfortunately, I don't have sources right now, and I'm late, but I'd do some searches, and you should find it pretty readily.

Oh wow so they still make the black and white XL package. They are the ones with spermicide, eh? I just like the Black and White packae better.

are the XLs a lil roomy for some of u? you prefer that over damn tight?

A stupid question from a virgin *waves hand*.

Condom sizes, does one fit all? I'm assuming not. What are the "typical" size restrictions? I'm 7.5x5.5 so does that mean I require something bigger than the typical size?

I've only really tried a particular brand I can get easily. It's a grand form, so I'm not sure how the other condoms might fit exactly.

At 5.5 girth you will need a magnum. If you are a person that is 6+ you will need a magnum XL.

Magnum Large.

I used to wear Magnums, but they are too tight. The ring actually hurts, so I switched to XL's when they came out. They are still snug, but no pain associated with them. I use the gold wrappered ones.

I found a rather useful chart:

S3 - Safe Sex Store - Safer Sex Talk - *Condom Size Guide

An XL will fit me but I guess it would be a bit big? I'm assuming this is all about preference. Right now I have a few LifeStyles Grand Forms. I think I'll pick up a pair of Magnums on Friday to give it a run. I've got to learn my preferences and such.

Man going into a place and asking for Magnum size or even paying for it, I wonder how I'm going to pull that off. I'll make sure there's a guy cashier :-p or else I'll turn all red.

Shit.

Magnum Twisters are kinda in between the Magnums and the Magnum XL as far as the shaft size. They are roomier in the head however, than either one. They are also tapered being a bit smaller in diameter at the base of the shaft getting slightly wider as they get to the head. This taper starts about a third of the way from the base of shaft it seems.

Seems like a good match to the picture.

No, no, no!!! Dude! You're going about this ALL wrong. It's the biggest mistake that some guys make. When you're buying condoms, you're announcing to the world, "Look at me, you sorry bastards, *I* am getting some." And not only that, by buying condoms, you're showing that you're being responsible about it.

Think about it. Guys brag all the time that they're gettin' some, but that's talk. When you're buying rubbers, you showing that you're getting some. Same goes for Mag's. Guys SAY they're big, but if you're buying them, you're doing it because you actually ARE big. Neither of these things should cause embarassment.

That said, I had a friend, big guy, about 6'3", but a big baby about buying condoms. Knowing that I don't mind, he'd have me buy his. I'd walk right in and slap the Mag's right up on the counter. You should've seen the looks that all 5'6" little me got. I was very matter-of-fact about it, but inside, I was howling with laughter, while everyone tried not be be obvious about checking me out.

I'm about 8x6 and the Magnum Twisters work fine, the head room helps it feel alot better than the regular Magnums. Haven't tried XLs yet. I probably could pull it off, but don't want to waste 12 bucks or so on a package of too-big condoms.

The Twisters' extra head latex is nice, it isn't too tight, and there's actually definition when you look at it from the shaft to the head, it's not just flat and pulled too tight.

I'd say, buy in order of size. Mag, Mag Twists, then XL if neither are comfortable.

If it's not comfortable, it doesn't fit. :)
