Better to go Large than to second guess yourself

I have found a popular topic on the forums has occasionally been the subject of "can I use a trojan".

Many guys on here have above average penises and they are unsure if they should make the jump in condom size or just keep using what they have. The number one concern is, "what if the condom is too loose?" This concern sounds appropriate, but if you are already over the average (or even if you are the average), slippage should not be a concern while wearing a large condom.

Does penis size influence condom slippage and breakage?

In the above link, you will find a study that tried to show the rate of breakage and slippage with the average condom when it is used by different penis sizes. They found that slippage is not a size issue, and breakage is much more statistically significant. They found that thicker penises have a higher rate of breaking condoms.

So if you are a bit bigger, and trying to make your choice, remember that there is no real reason to not go up a size (except that you might save a buck).

There seems to be a view in some quarters that you need to be John Holmes to need a large fit ,I really think this needs to be debunked.

Great, so much for breakage being due to a lack of lubrication.

At my girth in my sig I find normal condoms highly restrictive and a pain to put on. I love the fact I need magnums for my own ego and the fit has been great during sex. Gotta get to XL territory next
I agree with the OP and certainly above 5'' girth you can consider magnums I think
