Don’t panic, we don’t mean that size matters when it comes to the amount of enjoyment during sexual intercourse with your partner, after all that is a personal preference. However, when you are purchasing condoms size really does matter. Condoms, despite what you may think are not one size fits all and most often finding out your size is the last thing on a guys mind. Many men don’t even understand the importance of having the right size condom on hand and using only the correct size condom. By using the incorrect size condom, a person is cutting down the effectiveness of the condom dramatically which can make things like STD’s and unplanned pregnancy become more likely; some of which can even be fatal if contracted.
So if size really matters and you are aware that condoms aren’t as effective when they aren’t the right size wouldn’t the next logical course of action be to find out what size you are? The average penis size among adult men is six to seven inches during an erection. Because this is the average, most standard condoms come in this size. If you are bigger or smaller than those numbers, don’t worry anything between three inches and ten inches is common and there are condoms made to fit all of those sizes so there is a size out there that is perfect to fit your needs, and it really is worth the looking in order to get the perfect size for you.
If you are below the average size while erect, which is six inches, you should look for a snugger fitting condom. If you buy a condom in the standard size and you are below six inches while erect, your condom can fall off inside of your partner, or sperm can still escape. Even the best condoms won’t do you much good if you aren’t wearing the correct size. Lifestyle condoms are a great brand to look into, like many other major companies such as Durex condoms and Trojan condoms, these condoms come in various styles and sizes. Most condoms do offer more sizes than standard, but this is specifically true for larger name companies which are offered in more variations at more stores, where as smaller companies are harder to find in various types and sizes.
For those of you who are above average, there are many different alternative condom options available. You may have noticed your condom feels much too tight, some people even say it hurts. If this is true, you need to go up a size. A condom should fit snugly but it should not hurt, if you moved up a size or two and the condom is fitting loosely and still uncomfortable, talk to your physician about perhaps being over-sensitive. The most well known condoms for sizes above average are Magnum condoms, and Magnum XL Condoms, which are best bought in wholesale condom lots as it will be cheaper. This is only true if you know you will use them all though, condoms do have an expiration date and that should be kept in mind.

Condom Considerations
When you go out to buy condoms, chances are pretty good that you aren’t really thinking in basic consumer terms. When people buy computers, television, furniture or anything else for that matter, they usually think about the quality of the product and how it will fit into the rest of their lifestyle. In the case of a condom however, people that buy condoms are really just looking for a safe sex mechanism and aside from a few accessory choices, people that buy condoms are generally not looking to make a big and complicated decision regarding the condom that they purchase. There is nothing wrong with this way of thinking, but there are certainly some considerations that could be made in regards to the purchasing of a condom.
Length
The length of a condom is perhaps the most important consideration regarding the condom that could be made by anyone that wants to buy condoms. The reason for this is that the length of the condom has a very direct effect on how effective that condom actually is. If you end up buying condoms that do not roll down most of the shaft of your penis, what you will find is that there might be times when the volume of the ejaculate is so great that a tiny portion of it might spill out over the rim of the condom. Such happenings are rare, but why be sorry when you can be safe? Simply make sure that when you buy condoms the length is appropriate and you should have no problems whatsoever.
Width
Another consideration that you need to make when you buy condoms is their width. This issue is similar to the length issue and for that reason there is no reason to dwell on it any further than pointing out that when you buy condoms, make sure the length is appropriate enough that rolling the condom onto the penis will not be such a tight fit so as to cause pain or potentially a rupture within the condom itself. Both of those would be bad outcomes of the purchase.
Additional Options
Nowadays, condom companies are very diverse in the different products they put out onto the market. For example, there are ribbed condoms which have surfaces which are full of bumps so that the friction against the vaginal wall is increased and therefore the pleasure of the woman is increased along with it. There are other condom products are flavored condoms, used in order to make the oral sex experience a lot better for someone that is performing oral sex on a person that is wearing a condom. These are just two of a number of different options available with condoms these days and while these additional options are less pressing than the length and width concerns, they are certainly worth looking into in order to make the sexual experience as positive as possible. In the end, these options eliminate the myth about condoms making the sexual experience less pleasurable.

Frequently Asked Questions about Condoms
Q: How effective are condoms ?
A: The answer to that question varies depending on the particular brand name and type of condom you are talking about. However, it is reasonable to state that all of the condoms that are worth using are more than 95% effective and that the vast majority of them are 99%+ effective. There is a vast myth going around at the current moment in time that this particular method of contraception is actually not that effective, but the truth of the matter is that condoms are one of the most reliable products around. That is why they are central to most of the contraception campaigns that are run within the political realm.
Q: Is it possible to wear condoms and still end up with problems?
A: Unfortunately, the answer to this question is yes. The reason for this has to do more with the way in which condoms work however than any particular design deficiency in a particular product. The basic goal of a condom is to catch all of the ejaculate before it can enter the woman’s vaginal cavity while at the same time shielding the penis from becoming covered in any of the woman’s sexual fluid. The dual purpose of the prevention of fluid mixing in this case is to a) prevent pregnancy and b) prevent the transmission of any diseases. Since the sex cells of both men and women are microscopic however, it is possible for one to penetrate the condom either way and in doing so potentially cause a problem. This is why most condoms companies state that their products are 99.9% effective, since the odd event can happen otherwise.
Q: Is there anyway to make sure that condoms can be effective 100% of the time?
A: In practical terms, the answer to the question is yes. If you combine the use of condoms with other methods of contraception (such as birth control pills, a diaphragm or both a male and female condom being used at once), you will significantly decrease the chance that anything will happen as a result of the sex. While condoms are nearly perfect on their own, combining birth control methods can make it all but impossible for something to happen during sex. For legal reasons, companies that manufacture contraceptives will still state that their products are only effective 99.9% of the time, but it is extremely unlikely that something could happen when two or more contraception methods are in play at once.
Q: Is there any particular brand of condom I should purchase?
A: Ultimately, this is a private matter that you need to decide on your own. There are statistics available regarding different companies and the success of their condom products, but in the end all of the reputable companies put products out on the market that are extremely good. That having been said however, whether the condoms you choose are Trojan, Durex, Lifestyles or another brand of condoms, there are differences in terms of flavour, accessories and material, which is why you need to make a preferential decision on your own.

Custom fitted condoms.
Right now it is the duty of a man's penis to fit in to a condom. Is that right? In fact, it should be the other way around and the condom must be the one who has to fit around a man's most valuable asset, whatever be its size!!
Did any one have problems with the size of the condoms available in market today? Already there are some extra large condoms available. The Trojan Magnum is an example of extra large condoms. And they have a notable share of around 15% of the total US condom market.
Small condoms were introduced in to the market as well. As men tend to dislike buying them for the obvious reasons, they failed to get enough sales. No proud man would ever buy a small size condom from a store clerk. Especially so if the clerk is a she!! So, until the condom sales are completely automated or done online, men are not going to get small size condoms.
Here comes great news for all the men in the world who were finding it hard to find the correct size condoms for their odd sized penis!! Jan Vinzenz Krause, a German guy, has created a machine, which can spray latex on to you penis and make a condom out of it. This would fit any size penis perfectly. And Krause even promises that the machine would work fine even on an elephant's erect penis! Now, the only problem would be in finding some one bold enough to apply a condom on an aroused elephant!!
The proposed condom machine is designed based on a regular car wash tunnel. You insert your penis in to the hard plastic machine and then it will spray latex on it from all sides in a similar fashion as water is sprayed on to your car at a car wash. Then you have to wait for a few seconds until the latex is dry.
The idea sounds pretty effective and logical. The fit will be perfect to each penis and this will be the biggest advantage.
There is a hissing sound associated with the spraying and this may cause problems to your erection. The wait period can be another cause for you to loose your erection. Some people may be turned off by the idea off spraying on a condom after getting an erection and then waiting for it to dry. Newer technology may make it possible to have faster setting latex available in the market in the near future, and this would significantly reduce the wait period.
We have to wait to see if the sprayed latex can enter in to the penis hole and clog it. That would be a disastrous situation if the liquid latex gets set in your penis hole. Once you lose erection, some part of the condom may be stuck inside the penis as the penis lost its size. But the size of the condom would be the same.
Spray on condoms would be more expensive than the conventional ones as it will cost the machine around $35, and the latex for 20 condoms will cost around $15. Once mass production starts, the prices may come down significantly.
