What condom size do I need?

Which condom size do I need?

If you have used condoms before, you can already make a reasonable choice based on your experiences:

• Do condoms often fit too loose and are you therefore looking for a smaller condom? Then look in CAS 0- 3.
• Do condoms usually fit well, but do you want to try a different brand? (Thinner, thicker, different scent, for example). Then try the Medium condoms from CAS 4-5.
• Are condoms difficult to put on and do they pinch uncomfortably? Then try a larger condom: look at CAS 6-7 for Large and CAS 8-9 for Extra Large.

  TIP: a condom that fits too tightly (and is therefore too small) can roll back down during sex. This is different from a condom that slips off because it is too big.

 

Explanation

A condom with a good fit is safer and more comfortable to use.

When it comes to condom size, the circumference is especially important. That determines whether a condom is easy to put on and whether it pinches or sits comfortably. Once you have found the right circumference, you can look for a condom within that size with a length that best approximates your penis length. Condomerie advises that the condom should be slightly tight. This ensures the condom stays in place even if your erection temporarily subsides. However, you are of course free to choose a slightly tighter or looser size if you prefer. To properly compare different condom brands, Condomerie has developed a sizing system (Condomerie Amsterdam Standard - CAS). For every condom, we measure the circumference of the "elastic band" at the opening. Based on this circumference, the condom is classified into a size category. The range currently runs from CAS 0 to CAS 9. Standard condoms fall into CAS 4 or 5. Smaller condoms fall into CAS 0-3 and larger condoms into CAS 6-9.

Circumference or width?

The Condomerie CAS system is based on the circumference of the condom. However, a pack of condoms actually states the nominal width (that is the width of the condom when it lies flat over a ruler). So what now? As a rule of thumb, you can assume that a condom width of 52 to 54 mm is an average condom size. This corresponds to Condomerie's CAS 4 and 5.

Are you looking for a narrower condom? Try size 47 or 49. Are you looking for something wider? For Large condoms, look at 57 and 60 mm (CAS 6 and 7) and for Extra Large at 64 and 69 mm nominal width (CAS 8 and 9).

For all width sizes, you can look HERE.

The length of your condom.

The length of the condom is less important than the width. It is not a problem if a condom is slightly too short or slightly too long.

We therefore recommend looking for the right width first, and only then looking at the length.

Fortunately, we have also measured the length of all our condoms. You can find this in the list of features listed with every condom.
