Here we’ve gathered every size: MY SIZE and Mister Size in exact millimetre widths, roomier XL condoms by Durex, LELO and Control, snugger small condoms for a slimmer fit, and custom-fit options if you’d rather go by your own measurement.

Condoms sold by the millimetre
Most of this page is MY SIZE, and there's a practical reason for that. Each pack is labelled with a nominal width in millimetres instead of a vague word like "large" or "comfort". Once you know your number, you can reorder exactly the same fit every time. The widths sit close together, which helps if you've always felt somewhere between standard and XL. Mister Size works on the same principle with its own scale. Our tip is to order two neighbouring widths the first time and keep the one that stays put without pinching.
The XL lines and what sets them apart
Durex Extra Large is the familiar one. It's a classic latex condom with more room at the base and head, and here it comes in a 144-piece box for people who'd rather not run out. LELO's HEX Respect XL takes a more technical approach. The latex has a hexagonal structure built into it, so the condom can stay thin while the pattern spreads tension across the surface. It's available in packs of 3, 12 and 36, which makes trying it cheap in effort before you commit.
Control Adapta Nature XL is a natural latex condom with a roomier cut, a good everyday option if branded XL condoms still feel tight. Pasante, a British brand, offers its King Size in a 144 box, and Skins, also from the UK, rounds out the selection. If you go through condoms quickly, the bulk packs in every box size are worth a look.
Measuring without the guesswork
Girth matters far more than length. Almost every condom is longer than it needs to be, and leaving a little unrolled at the base is normal.
- Measure the circumference at the thickest point when erect, using a soft tape measure or a strip of paper you mark and then lay against a ruler.
- Compare that number with the brand's own chart. Nominal width is the flat width of the condom, not your girth, and brands convert slightly differently.
- A condom that's too tight feels restrictive and is more likely to tear. One that's too loose can slip off.
Fit is only one part of the choice. If latex irritates you, switch to latex-free condoms. For more feeling, thin, sensitive condoms are the next stop, and the natural range covers plain, unscented styles. Condoms are also handy for shared toys, and the NHS 111 Wales advice is to use a new one for each partner. The full condom collection has every other style kinkylove carries.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know what condom size I need?
Measure the circumference at the thickest point when erect, then match it to the brand's size chart. Brands like MY SIZE convert that measurement into a nominal width in millimetres printed on the pack.
What does nominal width mean on a condom box?
Nominal width is the width of the condom laid flat, measured in millimetres. It is not the same as your girth, so always check the brand's chart rather than comparing the numbers directly.
Are XL condoms longer or just wider?
XL condoms are mainly wider, with more room at the base and head. Some are slightly longer too, but length is rarely the problem since most condoms are longer than needed.
What happens if a condom is too big?
A condom that is too big can slip off or bunch up during use. If that happens regularly, try a standard or small size, or a brand with millimetre sizing so you can go down one step.
Can a condom that is too tight break more easily?
Yes, a tight condom puts extra strain on the material and is more likely to tear. It can also feel uncomfortable and dull sensation, so a roomier size is often the better choice.
