Inspiral, accept NO substitute!

Wrap it, before you tap it.

neither, BCP

I know they're wider, no idea if they're longer.

they are in fact longer...but it is not of need to have a condom longer...
gosh, I hate talking about this but whatever.

a normal condom is like 7.5" and like 1.3" wide
where as a magnum is like 8.1" and 1.8" wide

But if you have a 10" dick lets say...it really doesn't matter if the condom is 7.5 or 8" inches long

where as if you have a 5" dick it still doesn't matter if the condom is 7.5 or 8" long.

that's my take on it anyhow.

The width is the most important thing, because if you need the wider condom the narrower ones are a real pain in the ass to get on during sex, and they can tear or rip easier. they feel like you are wearing your hat too tight, or like you have a blood pressure machine on your dick. I didn't have to learn about this shit till college, the girls I had sex with in HS; I all knew for most my life and knew they were on the pill, so I never used a condom till the end of HS (spring break) Now here at ASU, I wrap my shit up 90% of the time.

I swear to you, I sat in a "sex or." class @ ASU and the guy talking said to measure you erect penis across with a ruler...if you are greater than 1.75" wide you should use the larger/wider condoms to avoid any inconviences or tears.
Of course they all stretch really wide, but it's the contraction position...not to go into TMI, but putting a normal width one on not only is difficult but really hurts (snugwise), which makes me lose my erection.

They are a little wider, and longer but just a tad. I filled up a regular condom and a Magnum with water one day because I was curious to see the differences. I would say a Magnum is about 10%-15% longer and wider.

Trust me no matter how big your cock is, you can fit a regular condom, I saw a safe sex special one time where a chick put a regular condom on cucumber the size of my forearm to prove to HS chicks that when dudes say they are too big it's just bullshit. It's just that regular condoms are a bitch to put on if you are a little more girthy and/or if you have a lollipop dick (head is wider than the shaft).

For years I thought I didn't know how to put a condom on because I would always be struggling with regular condoms. The Magnums roll on much easier.

I like to use "Vivid" brand Larger condoms, but you won't find em at Walgreens, I have to go to condom stores or online to get them. So I supplement my supply with Magnums.
http://www.condom.com/cpv-lrgl.html

I never use regular sized condoms unless forced to.

Brand I will never use again?
-Any non-Magnum Trojan
-Durex

yeah this guy who spoke about it at our school...said sure you can fit a condom over something such as your arm. But the amount of strecthing and forcve you are applying to it makes the condom thinner. Which over the course of useage it makes it more likely to tear slighty. you can put anything on with enough work, but it is a lot easier and it feels a lot better with a condom that is wider if you need it. I don't need my dick to feel like it is being slighty strangled while i'm trying to do the old in- out.

2 pages...one of the posts quoted from page 2

"Just because your friends can get them on their heads at parties does NOT mean there is no width problem for men re condom size!

I object strongly to such naivety.

Have you seen what your friends do BEFORE they are able to do this "trick"? It involves endless stretching etc of the condom material and manipulation with hands etc.

This thread contains a lot of practical information that guys who have a width issue understand and relate to.

Lots of good advice re trojan magnum xl's in the thread.

Just a pity, with all the health risks, that young teenagers are not able to access such products via the highstreet stores or WC condom machines - they are the kids most at risk and least likely to have a credit card to be able to buy via the net.

Have any of you ever used an Inspiral before?? It is much, MUCH better then all of the brands mentioned thus far.

And I agree with using them, but as soon as you really get to know a girl, I say to condoms- quoting Nsync "bye bye bye".

The Magnum branded condoms are wider and are especially comfortable if you have a fatboy. They were my condom of choice before i got married and while living overseas, i would special order a bunch of them.

Same here mang. I once used a German brand of condom and the first time it smelled like we were burning rubber or something. My girl got pissed at me because of the smell and made me stop and throw away the entire box.

I forgot...its been so long. Oh yeah, Durex, the sensitive thin ones, w/ some lube.

Like someone else said uptop, after the 1st couple times, the condoms are out the window. Why is that? Why use them in the 1st place if I know I probably won't be using them after the previous time? I never understood why I do that. Even w/ my last girlfriend, after the 1st time(despite both of us being tipsy and dehydrated - we all know what happens w/ no extra lube), after that 1st time, we didn't use them again.

Durex variety pack. I can pick up 4x 25 packs for under $15.

I'm a cheap bastard.

They come with the:

- Numb the sensation so you can last (it don't)
- Sensitive
- Extra-sensitive (little nubbies on the inside)
- Natural ("standard")
- Extra-strong (backdoor fun?)

For a guy who's used them...no she couldn't feel the difference. I could, but only because I felt like I was sawing her in half. Besides...it was distracting.

So, let me ask this to all the ladies. Do you use a condom the 1st time you have sex with a guy?

I wish my girl was on the pill...I hate buying condoms all the time...also, the ribbed are more for her pleasure than yours..

I have tried Lifestyles and Trojan. The Trojan seem to be a little more heavy-duty than Lifestyles, but are more expensive (in my experience).

well, there are 2 ladies on here who don't use them. I was just wondering if they do use them for the 1st time, do they use them after that?

I know that my last girl and I didn't use them after the 1st time and she switched to the pill.

So, that might lead into a another question. This might be too personal of a question, to all the ladies again who are on the pill, do you let him finish off in the box or mess up your shirts?

Durex are awful. Too tight on me (maybe I bought the wrong size?), and the lube inside was really nasty lookin compared to the Trojan.

Even when I banged all those hookers in Thailand I never used those things.

Austin Powers: Condoms? Only sailors use condoms, Vanessa.
Vanessa Kensington: Not in the 90s, Austin.
Austin: Well they should. The buggers go from port to port.

Besides, I'm in a happily committed relationship. We share everything now, and that includes our previously contracted STDs from hookers we've banged.
