Choosing the correct condom size isn't just about comfort—it's about safety. A condom that is too large can slip off during use, while a condom that is too small is more likely to break due to excessive tension. Finding your perfect fit ensures maximum protection against STIs and unintended pregnancy while enhancing sensitivity.
How to Measure for a Perfect Fit
To get an accurate result from the condom size calculator, you need two primary measurements taken while fully erect:
Length: Measure from the base (the pubic bone) to the very tip. Press through any pubic hair or fat pads to reach the bone for accuracy.
Girth (Circumference): This is the most important measurement for condom fit. Use a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string to wrap around the thickest part of the shaft.
Understanding "Nominal Width"
When you look at condom packaging, you might see a "Nominal Width" in millimeters (e.g., 52mm or 56mm). This refers to the width of the condom when laid flat on a table. It is roughly half the circumference of the condom. Because condoms are elastic, they are designed to be slightly smaller than your actual girth to stay securely in place.

Girth (Circumference)
Rec. Nominal Width
Snug / Slim Fit
Under 4.7″ (119mm)
47mm – 49mm
Standard Fit
4.7″ – 5.1″ (119-130mm)
52mm – 54mm
Large Fit
5.1″ – 5.5″ (130-140mm)
55mm – 57mm
XL / Extra Large
Over 5.5″ (140mm)
58mm – 64mm
Example Calculation
If your measured girth is 5.0 inches (127mm), you fall into the Standard Fit range. You should look for condoms with a nominal width of approximately 52mm to 54mm. If your length is 6 inches, most standard condoms (which are typically 7 to 8 inches long) will provide ample coverage.
