Condom query-Need help please

Seems different countries also manufacture different sized condoms, according to the average size in that country.
Pretty sure a standard size in Japan, Korea or one of the other Eastern countries will differ in size to condoms manufactured in South Africa, Brazil or similar countries.

Yeah which is why it's kinda odd our govt gives out small ones given the stats and demographics.
 
It's kind of interesting that width is the complaint as I've found the same. Thinking SA brands are a bit narrower to prevent slippage?
 
After doing some homework :whistle:, it appears that the average South African is slightly more blessed than the average international person in width (girth), but we are about average when it comes to length in comparison to international averages.

I found durex to be more comfortable than other brands, especially those govt ones which are way too tight. I've seen "king size" for sale at garages etc but alas, no need (because I'm happily married and wife has a mirena :p)

Yeah that stuff is chinese spec in more than one way.

Mandingo effed up the stats I'm afraid.
 
Not OP but don't want to make another thread...

Any more ideas guys? Will give the Contempo a try as well as adult shops... Really daft that they don't sell them widely.

Before anyone asks yes it's the girth that's the issue, my standard choice of fetherlite ultra is so tight it's making a mark. Apparently I need a "nominal width" of over 60mm...
 
I also find fetherlite ultra very tight, the normal fetherlite ones are much better.
 
Tried the normal fetherlite, still too tight... K will give Skyn a go.

As an aside why are the condoms always buried in some random part of the shop? Hunting around I went to unknown stores and took me a good 10min to find them. The store assistant nearly fainted when I asked where they were... Is there seriously a stigma against buying condoms in this country? Looking at HIV infection rates and unwanted pregnancies I'm guessing yes.
 
I'm not a fan of Skyn's texture, but the last few months latex condoms irritate me. Not sure if I've developed a mild latex allergy or what the deal is. It would explain my sudden kiwi allergy though. :(

I've never quite got it either. I normally attract a few weird stares whenever I go restock on condoms at Clicks. Meanwhile everyone in the shop probably has sex anyway.

Try it in a small town where you have to ask the Tannie who watched you grow up for a pack of durex ribbed :o
