So I always used normal sized condoms because according to the specifications they should fit me just fine. I’m above average but not huge. I always had a problem where they wouldn’t go all the way down to the base… (I know first sign) I never went with a bigger size though because it seemed like they would always kinda roll back up and start slipping off (I thought my peen was too skinny). A girl I was with pulled out a magnum (I wasn’t going to tell her/admit it was probably too big) and it went all the way down to the base. With little or no condom left to roll out further. (Specifications says 8 inch long… I’m not 8 inches long… wtf?) I also noticed it was way looser feeling and was worried. (I thought if normal condoms slide off this one is sure to) So I took it easy at first to feel it out… then stepped it up a notch, then two notches… ECT… No slippage. Wtf? It wasn’t until I did some research that I found out that a condom that doesn’t reach the base is liable to roll back up and slip off, the average condom specifies it’s 7.1 inches long… (still bigger than me) so wtf is going on? They should reach the base. Are condom companies lying to consumers to inflate egos? submitted by /u/Dapper-Pilot-1167
