Synthetic materials, such as polyisoprene: This is a stretchy plastic which is a good alternative to latex if you or your partner have a latex allergy, but you can't use oils as lubes with them either. With polyurethane condoms you can use any type of lube, but they're not as stretchy. However, there are those men who are smaller than average. Their pleasure and that of their partners can be dampened by condoms that simply do not fit. Condom manufacturers have listened to consumers and many have made condoms especially for men who are smaller than average.

GLYDE Slimfit Premium Small Condom happens to be Australia’s number one condom. Made with Sustainably Harvested Natural Latex Rubber, it is Certified Ethical & Fair Trade. There is no latex odor, no risky chemicals, no parabens and no spermicides. You’d be forgiven for thinking that small equates, well, small! But that’s not the case, there are three different definitions of ‘small’: Condoms are an essential part of good sexual health. They protect against the spread of both STIs and viral infections, such as Ebola and Zika. They can also prevent unplanned pregnancies.

Please Note: Durex have recently changed the Close Fit width from 49mm to 52mm (still the smallest in the Durex range). Durex Close Feel and Close Fit are the same condom. When you unroll the condom, it will be a rectangular piece of latex that can be laid on a vulva or anus before having oral,” Kai explains. A dental dam protects you from STIs that can be transmitted during oral sex. Condoms can also be used on dildos and vibrators to prevent STI transmission and to make clean-up a snap.

Men who need small condoms (or snug or trim condoms as they are also known) do not have to feel inferior. There are dozens of choices and all you have to do is find the right fit so you can experience as much pleasure as the next person. Just to recap: if you buy a condom that doesn’t fit you then it’s not going to do its job properly, you’re putting your partner at risk (if female, obviously) and yourself at to exposure to STIs and STDs. And having that running through your head as your mid-coitus is definitely enough to kill the mood.

He looks and looks to see if there is a clerk who may be a man in his golden years working part time as a cashier. Where is one when you want him? All the cashiers are young college girls who like they are all cheerleaders. Would it be possible for him to find one who acts like a professional? He doesn’t think so. He hides his small condoms under his cabbage, lettuce and carrots. Maybe she won’t notice when she scans the box. Some people are allergic to latex condoms. If this is a problem, polyurethane or polyisoprene condoms are less likely to cause an allergic reaction. Doctors and nurses work under strict guidelines when dealing with people under 16.

Looking for something a little snugger? Try our My Size 47mm or My Size 49mm, which are smaller in both length and width. Lee, G., et al. (2016). Initiators and barriers to discussion and treatment of premature ejaculation among men and their partners in Asia Pacific — results from a web-based survey. The truth is that most penises ( and dildos) will fit into a regular-size condom, or at the very least, a large one. Kai tells me, “Most average-size condoms will work on most penises. So if someone is telling you they can't use the condom you have because they're ‘too big’ for it, it's likely they don't want to use a condom. It's very rare that a condom is too small; I regularly fit them over my entire fist for sex ed demos.”
