How to Maximize Pleasure with the Right Condom: Tips for Finding the Perfect Fit
Condoms play a vital role in protecting people from unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

- The first step you need to do before buying a condom is to measure the size of your private part’s length and grith (which refers to the circumference of the private part) using measuring tape or a ruler (for a perfect result, measure when it is in erect position). You can calculate the width by dividing the grith by 3.14.
- Go for a reputed brand condom for long-lasting stay.
- Condoms come under the regulation of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and are generally available in the following sizes: Choose the one which fits you.
Small / close fit / snug condoms: Suitable when the private part length is less than 5 inches and grith less than 4.25 inches.
Regular / Medium /standard: Suitable when the private part length is less than 5–7 inches and grith less than 4.25–5 inches.
Large / XL condoms: Choose when length is more than 7 inches and girth more than 5 inches.
- Don’t compromise with the quality of the condoms, as it affects your comfort.
