Trojan magnum?!?

Anyone have any idea what the specifications on this one are? LOL I know that sounds ridiculous but here's why I ask. I have a new love interest and while we've not had sex yet I know he is better off in the length/girth dept. than some of my previous boyfriends. I always like to carry a few condoms with me just in case and want to make sure we're both comfortable. Just thought I'd ask since I was lurking around the message board. If worse comes to worse I'll just ask him but I have this terrible vision of all American men running out and buying these type of condoms and then a whole bunch of women ending up in the ER because their guy was convinced he was the reason they made "magnums". I mean, what guy wouldn't say "Oh, yeah. I can't wear anything but that and they're even a little uncomfortable". Anyway, just thought I'd ask.

Yeah, this stuff is always so great huh? Here's what I can tell you. My last boyfriend was quite well endowed - he claimed to be 10 inches when fully "ready." This could be true, I've only slept with three people in my life so it's hard for me to know. Anyway, he used Magnums and said they were actually snug. Believe it or not, they make a Magnum XL. Good Lord! Anyway, he was really open with me about it - it might be worth asking your guy. Or do some investigating on your own and "estimate." Good luck to ya :)

Heres what I would do. Buy a 3 pack of regular and a 3 pack of the Magnums. When you "size" things up, you will have a better idea of what to pull out. Then, come back brag to us!!!!

ummm yeah this is graphic but I would say unless he's about 8 inches don't put a magnum on him it could slip off. also I have also found a man of this size really can wear a regular Trojan they just might be a little uncomfortable. side note: lifestyles condoms are freakishly small and if your man is big, he might break them so watch out!

Thanks for all of the suggestions! They were both humorous and informative. Specail thanks to ice2244 for the website, I'll definately check that out and to whomever had the 3 pack/ 3 pack idea. That was a great thought, I may do that just in case. I'm so glad I found you all. I've been reading some of the other posts and you all are so helpful. I'm sure I'll be posting more questions. Thanks again. You all are awesome!

I've decided to add my 2 cents.....

If you start having sex with a condom that is truly too tight, you'll know it fairly quickly...... an erection can't be maintained very well with a condom that is cutting off blood flow. If he's telling you that it feels too tight but he can still perform just as well, I'd be suspicious of a tiny ego problem. Condoms are supposed to be SNUG, they aren't supposed to feel like they're cutting "it" off.

Be glad there are options. 11 years ago there was ONE brand of larger condoms (In Canada, anyway), and the lube on them was so disgusting we couldn't stand to use them.

Hi there,


You could try getting a condom sampler from one of the online stores...I think www.goodvibes.com has a few different sets.
