How Large are Large Condoms?

Buying a large condom at the convenience or drug store may boost the confidence level for some, but will they provide a better fit? I guess that depends on which brand and what you define as "large."

We measured nearly 100 condoms to find the thinnest, longest, most textured and widest condoms on the market. In this unscientific study, we took a random sampling of some of the most popular condoms on the market and measured them using a micrometer.

The results were a bit surprising with the Durex flavored condoms coming in at the number 2 spot for longest. Maybe the banana flavored condoms were designed for an actual banana.


To start, when it comes to width or girth the standard condoms will stretch to fit just about any size and the large condoms are designed to fit a little less snug which can provide a better experience for some but can also increase the chances of slippage. Here's our top ten list for widest condoms (measured in inches):
