Condoms
Condoms that fit and feel right: Trojan standard, Magnum and Magnum XL, ultra-thin, textured and flavored styles, and latex-free SKYN, in 3-packs to 12-packs.
Updated October 2026
The best condoms are the ones that fit you and feel good enough that you actually use them every time. Fit comes first: a condom that is too tight or too loose can be uncomfortable and may not work as well (Cleveland Clinic). Then choose material (latex or non-latex), thickness and texture. Below is a size chart built from Trojan's published measurements for the condoms we stock, what a Magnum actually measures, and how to store condoms so they do not fail.
Condom size chart: standard, Magnum and Magnum XL
Condom size is set by nominal width (the flat width across the condom) and length. Width matters more: a condom can be longer than you need, but one that is too wide can slip off. Measurements below are Trojan's own (Trojan size chart, Magnum size chart).
| Condom | Length | Width at base | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trojan standard | 6.7–7.5 in | 53 mm | — |
| Double Ecstasy | 7.5–8.3 in | 53 mm (73 mm head) | $10.95 / 3 |
| Magnum | 7.1–7.9 in | 55 mm | $25.95 / 12 |
| Magnum BareSkin | 7.5–8.3 in | 57 mm | $9.95 / 3 |
| Magnum Raw | 7.5–8.3 in | 57 mm | $13.95 / 3 |
| Magnum XL | 7.1–7.9 in | 58 mm | $7.95 / 3 |
Magnums are tapered: the original is 62 mm mid-shaft, BareSkin 60 mm and XL 63 mm, so they are roomier above the base.
What size is a Magnum condom, and do I need one?
A standard Trojan is 53 mm wide; an original Magnum is 55 mm at the base and 62 mm mid-shaft; a Magnum XL is 58 mm at the base. Trojan says regular condoms are designed for an average 4.25 to 5 inch girth (around the erect shaft), and suggests a Magnum if you are about 7 inches or longer with roughly 4.75 to 5 inches of girth or more, or if standard condoms feel tight. Measure girth with a soft tape around the thickest part of the erect shaft. Not sure? Buy 3-packs of a standard and a Magnum and compare: the right one rolls all the way down easily, stays put, and leaves about a quarter inch of room at the tip.
Latex vs non-latex condoms
- Latex is the most common material and protects against pregnancy and STIs. Use water-based or silicone lube only; oil-based lube can make latex break.
- Polyisoprene, a latex-free synthetic rubber, is what SKYN condoms are made of. It is a good option if you or your partner react to latex, but it is just as sensitive to oil as latex.
- Polyurethane and nitrile are also latex-free and, unlike polyisoprene, tolerate oil-based lube.
- Lambskin prevents pregnancy but not STIs, because viruses and bacteria can pass through its tiny pores.

Thin, textured and flavored condoms
- Thinner feel: Magnum Raw ($13.95 / 3) and Magnum BareSkin ($9.95 / 3) are Trojan's thin styles in a larger fit. Kimono Micro Thin Large ($10.95 / 3) combines a thinner wall with a longer shaft and more head room.
- More room at the head: Double Ecstasy's bulbous shape is snug at the base and roomier at the top, with different lubricant inside and out.
- Texture: Trojan Ribbed ($9.95 / 3) adds spiral ribbing for both partners.
- Oral sex: Trustex flavored condoms ($9.95 / 3) in banana, strawberry, grape and chocolate. Use an unflavored condom for vaginal or anal sex.
None of the condoms above is listed as spermicidal. Spermicidal styles are labeled and use nonoxynol-9; a WHO advisory note on lubricants reports that nonoxynol-9 has significant irritant effects and does not recommend it (WHO, 2012).
Which lube is safe with condoms?
Water-based and silicone lube are safe with latex and polyisoprene condoms. Planned Parenthood lists baby oil, coconut oil, massage oil, petroleum jelly, lotions and some yeast-infection creams among the products that damage them (Planned Parenthood). A little extra lube also lowers the chance of breakage; not using enough lube is one of the causes Cleveland Clinic lists. Shop water-based lube or silicone lube, or read how to use lube.
Do condoms expire? Storage that keeps them working
- FDA labeling rules require latex condom boxes and individual wrappers to carry an expiration date no more than five years after packaging (FDA). Depending on material, condoms last one to five years; never use one past its date.
- Keep them somewhere cool and dry. Heat and wear in wallets, pockets and hot cars can damage them (Cleveland Clinic).
- If a condom feels sticky, dry or stiff when you open it, throw it out.
- Use one condom at a time. Two rub against each other and are more likely to tear.

Frequently asked questions
What are the best condoms?
The best condom is the one that fits and that you will use every time. Start with your size (standard Trojan is 53 mm wide, Magnum 55 mm, Magnum XL 58 mm), then pick latex or latex-free, and thin, textured or flavored.
What size is a Magnum condom?
According to Trojan, an original Magnum is 7.1 to 7.9 inches long, 55 mm wide at the base and 62 mm mid-shaft. Magnum XL is 58 mm at the base, and Magnum BareSkin and Raw are 57 mm. A standard Trojan is 53 mm.
How do I know what size condom to buy?
Measure the girth of your erect penis around the thickest part. Trojan designs regular condoms for a 4.25 to 5 inch girth and suggests a Magnum at about 7 inches or longer with roughly 4.75 to 5 inches of girth or more, or if standard condoms feel tight. A condom that slips is too wide.
Is Trojan or SKYN better?
Neither is better for everyone. Trojan is latex and has the widest size range, from 53 mm standard to 58 mm Magnum XL. SKYN is polyisoprene, a good choice if latex irritates you or a partner. Both need water-based or silicone lube, never oil.
Do Trojan condoms have spermicide?
Most do not. Spermicidal Trojan styles are labeled spermicidal and contain nonoxynol-9, which a WHO advisory note says has significant irritant effects and does not recommend. Check the front of the box.
Do condoms expire?
Yes. FDA rules require latex condom boxes and wrappers to show an expiration date no more than five years after packaging. Don't use a condom past its date or one that feels sticky, dry or stiff, and don't store condoms in a wallet or hot car.
What lube can you use with condoms?
Water-based or silicone lube. Oil-based products, including coconut oil, baby oil, massage oil and petroleum jelly, can damage latex and polyisoprene condoms and make them break.
Is wearing two condoms safer?
No. Two condoms rub against each other and are more likely to tear. Use one condom that fits, with enough lube.
