Condom Sizes

BANGKOK (AFP) - 

 

Thai health officials Thursday said teenagers who are too embarrassed to choose condoms that fit are partly to blame for a recent spike in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among their peers.

 

In a statement ahead of Valentine's Day -- a time when Thai officials often issue a flurry of warnings about the potential pitfalls of young love -- the kingdom's Ministry of Public Health warned that STIs among 10-19 year olds had increased almost five times in the last ten years.

 

"It is due to the fact that only 43 percent (of teenagers) use condoms -- and also because they choose condoms that are too big for their actual sizes and they are afraid they will be mocked for being too small," the statement said.

 

Below is a link to a condom size chart.  It appears that the difference in circumference among brands is quite small though.   Wonder which brand Nancy uses?

 

I would imagine that condoms fit better on guys and ladyboys whose penises more closely resemble a cylinder but in reality girth is not constant but varies along the length of the shaft.

I am surmising that the difference in girth / circumference between the average penis and the condoms is that the condoms are meassured unstretched and by stratching them, they grip and stay on.
