Essay: "Men could eliminate abortions in 3 months or less without ever touching an abortion law"

I dunno about you. But when I go shopping for condoms I notice a curious lack of sizing statements on the boxes.

With the notable exception of one or two brands like Trojan Magnums which explictly call themselves XL or Large. Theres also a lack of sizing options within a given type. You’re not going to find Bonerz Extra Feels in small medium and large. You can’t go find a size 23 condom in your prefered brand and model.

That’s part of why there are so many different styles in each brand. With effectively one size per style, and no way to guage what the size is from packaging. Siizing statements tend to be pretty vague like “snug fit”. If you look up the actual dimensions of the damn things they’re all within about 5mm of each other.

I can’t seem to track it down right now but way back there was Savage Love column on the subject. Apparently (at least at the time) there was some sort of base line standard for an average penis all condoms are supposed to fit. Since its based on the mandrel used to make then manufacturers can make a condom bigger or smaller than that by manipulating shape and manufacturing methods so the condoms are a bit bigger or smaller than that base line, even as the madrel isn’t. But they’re not all that different from one another. Your Magnum has to be just as capable of fitting the average hooha as your Ultra Snug.
