what size condom should I buy ?

I decided to post this in the womans section because other guys just wouldn't understand where im coming from or think i am lying. So please try to answer my questions the best you can.

Well, im 13 an i have a 7 1/2" by 2" penis when erect. i am 5'5" an i wear a size 10 so people think its small or what not. I am White(american) an Hispanic. I was wondering if im all through growing or if its going to keep growing even larger, because its very uncommon for someone my age to have a penis of this size so i have read . i was also wondering what condom size that i should get, because im a virgin but i dont kno for how much longer so i just have to be prepaired. please help, your pal,
Ray

I would just get the regular size. There is regular and then after that there is extra large or magnum. I would say that you seem to be just right. Don't worry about it though.

*Edited to say good for you for thinking about protection. When used properly condoms help protect against Pregnancy and STD's.

"Regular" is Medium Very
Happy

I don't think I've ever seen a "small" sized condom. Most men fit into normal ones.

I have yet to come across a man who could not fit into the regular condoms. They stretch a great deal.

Yeah, they don't sell "small" sized condoms. I mean, what guy would actually buy them?

All I've ever seen is regular size, magnum (XL) and super magnum (XXL?).

You can have a look at a specific condom website (trojan's site is cool) and see what exactly the difference is in size and shape. The magnums aren't a huge amount bigger - otherwise they might fall off - but they're much roomier in the head.

Length doesn't matter for size of condom - all condoms are very long. It's thickness (girth) that would cause you to need a larger size condom.

See the school nurse and ask for a free condom (if you're comfortable doing so). They'll be regular size. Then you could try it on at home (try it out for masturbating) and see if it feels too tight around the shaft/head. If it feels uncomfortably tight, then go out and buy a box of magnums.

btw- the size you described is not 'small'. It's normal, or even larger than normal? Right girls? Aren't most around the 6" area?

Average size is 5-6 inches. We seriously need a Sticky called "Average Penis Size, etc"

Yes, average is 6" long - but condoms are very very long. Regular condoms are long enough to accomodate any length of penis. XL size condoms (or magnums) are wider/roomier and taper to the base of the penis to ensure they won't fall off. If his penis is especially thick, a larger size condom will be more comfortable. Since he is especially long (congrats, I guess), it's entirely possible he's also especially thick.

I wish men weren't so preoccupied with penis size.... then we wouldn't need an "average size" sticky. Lol.

Everyone try this experiment if you're worried that a condom won't fit you- take it out, and stretch it really far, and see how far up your leg you can get it. Smile

A nurse came to one of my classes once and did that. It was hilarious.

The regular old condoms fit most men. If they're a little tight, you can try a larger one for comfort, but it should still fit snug.

If you're really small, most of the big brands sell small condoms too that you can buy online. (Check trojan or lifestyle's site)
