New condom launched for SA’s well-endowed men
An extra large condom that has been launched for South Africa’s well-endowed men may encourage greater condom usage and limit the spread of Aids.
Durex brand manager Stuart Roberts said there was a huge demand for larger condoms in South Africa. “A large number of South African men are bigger and complain about condoms being uncomfortable and too small,” Roberts said. The new condoms are longer and slightly wider.
The BBC News website quoted Aids activist Thandi Xolo as saying that many South African are reluctant to use condoms as they do not want to be labelled promiscuous. “This could help condoms become cool,” he said. “Men will buy them to boost their ego.”

I am german and I am also using extra large condoms because I am bigger in girth and regular condoms are much to tight and so it simply feels better to use a condom that is roomier on tip..I use a brand called vulkan.the best available for men with bigger girth but normal lenght.

I know they have smaller ones in Japan. Condoms I mean. My friends lived there and had to take English ones with them as the ones there definitely didn’t fit.

In this day and age, especially in South Africa, every woman and man should be an authority on condoms. You can’t afford not to be.

While white South Africans are a minority, South Africa has a large mixed-race population too. In fact some of the whitest looking people have been dipped in chocolate at some point in their family tree.
And while condoms can stretch almost infinitely, the mouth of the condom with that hard rubbery ring is the part that causes discomfort if it’s too tight. Try stretching it apart with your fingers and watch how it cuts off your blood supply. Also it’s not really ideal to wear a condom that isn’t long enough to roll all the way to the bottom because then you can’t leave enough space at the tip which could cause it to burst, and it leaves you partially exposed to infection.

Well, I want to see the data first before I buy into this story of South Africans being a nation of extra endowed men. Come to think of it, it really makes no sense, both Africans and nonAfricans in South Africans being larger than the rest of the world. Maybe the South Africans are simply boxers short types instead of jockeys types. Looser is and larger is better in their mind. Whether they are actually larger…? Also, have you evebr filled a condom with water? You can fit a watermelon in it…c’mon

Actually Durex and other major manufacturers do change the width and lengths of their condoms for many major countries according to the national average. You might notice when you travel overseas and buy your favourite brand that it feels different. That’s why. For a long time there have been complaints in South Africa that condoms are too tight causing extreme discomfort – including the white males ;@) I would imagine Durex will be distributing this new size to the rest of Africa as well.

” As the story says, Men will buy them to boost their ego.”
I can’t see why South Africans would be larger or smaller than any other African or other nation.
As the Steely Dan song says, “you are a legend in your own mind.” (well, is it a legend or a genius?) I think legend legend is best for this comment, so I am sticking with it.
