Trojan Magnum Thin Large Size Lubricated Condoms – 12 Count (Pack of 1)

Excellent as usual

You’re probably going to try several different brands and types before finding the condom that’s best for your situation. While there are a lot of factors at play, in terms of condom fit and comfort, guys who are thicker are more likely to experience discomfort due to the ring of the condom being too tight. That’s where this Trojan Magnum can make all the difference. These Magnums are probably a little less than an inch longer than non-Magnum Trojans styles (like the ENZ), but their diameter is at least a 1/2 inch larger and this makes them far more comfortable than others I’ve tried.Trojan has another version in this line called the  Trojan Magnum Ecstasy 3 Pack  that has the larger Magnum head for more “wiggle” room but with a base diameter that’s between that of this Magnum Thin and that of Trojan ENZ. This may be a good alternative if worried about the condom staying securely in place and depending on your situation that might be a good thing. However, with the diameter of the Magnum Ecstasy at about 1/4″ smaller at the base I found them less comfortable. Also, the Magnum Ecstasy version I tried had “Warming and Tingling, Nonoxynol-9” that left me feeling disconnected from the experience.This Magnum has a water-based lubricant, protects against both STD’s and unwanted pregnancy, and for me, this thin version provides the greatest comfort and intimacy of all the versions I’ve tried in the Magnum line. I’ve never encountered bunching or breaking as reported in a few of the other reviews. These have never let me down (no pun intended) and work well for my situation. However, given these are thinner and use a water-based lubricant you may want to augment the lubrication with a silicone-based product. It all depends on how you plan to use them and the needs/preferences of the other party.If length is more of a concern the  Trojan Magnum Xl Lubricated Condoms, 12 Count  is a little longer although the diameter a little smaller than this version. There are also some sampler packs available here on Amazon that might be helpful in finding your best fit. This link is for one such sampler pack in the Magnum line  TROJAN MAGNUM FIRE & ICE 10 PACK .The only condom I have found that has a larger circumference than this Magnum Thin is the MySize 69mm condom available here –  10-pack of My Size Condoms 69mm (2.7 Inches) . MySize condoms are well known in the UK but not in the US market. This MySize 69mm is incredibly comfortable and also worth a try.Shopping on-line for condoms is similar to shopping on-line for jeans in that no matter what other reviewers may have to say, you’re not going to know if they’re right for you until you try them on “in person”. You’ll eventually find what works best in your situation and hopefully you’ll have some fun in the process.

They do what they’re supposed to do

A couple of years back I decided to try out condoms because the last thing my wife and I need are more kids. I grabbed some LifeStyles Ultra Sensitive condoms and absolutely hated them. I ended up giving them away but now I’ve decided I really need to give condoms a second chance so I did research this time. Now there are two potential problem areas with condoms, slippage and breakage. Slippage is when the condom is too large and the woman needs to fish it out (see how that goes down) and breakage is when the condom is too small and splits open pretty much ruining its purpose. My assumption was that an average sized condom was the right choice for me. Turns out I was wrong.When choosing a condom size the most important dimension is penis circumference not length. Most condoms are much longer than necessary so just don’t unroll it all the way. If you’re one of the rare few who is longer than the length of a condom than it won’t unroll entirely. No big deal. The slippage and breakage occurs when your girth is not in line with the condom you’re wearing. There are websites to help determine suggested condoms based on your measured circumference but they can be a bit confusing. Condom-sizes.org is a pretty good resource and according to the site I’m at the lowest end of a Trojan Magnum XL. I decided to go with the regular Magnum rather than XL to see how that goes. There does seem to be some discrepancies in sizing. Condom-sizes.org list My.Size condoms 60 mm as 5.5” to 5.7” but My.Size product description on Amazon lists 60 mm as 4.72” to 5.12”. Magum XL is 56 mm but is regarded as having the same size recommendations as the My.Size 60 mm.My lesson from this is that if you get the wrong sized condom you may end up not using ANY condom and that’s a big mistake. Do the research ahead of time because you may find your assumptions about your size are all wrong. I found the Magnum’s a much better fit than the LifeStyle condoms and am much more likely to wear them.

I like how sheer they are and the lubricant which makes it easy to apply
