Lifesyles Skyn has just come out with a magnum version. They are made of polyisoprene so they're thinner and stronger with no taste or smell.

I need to find better ones to use.  I use Trojan Magnums, but they are so thick and give no sensation.  Who makes a really good, above average size condom, that feels good (well, as good as it can feel by wrapping your member in rubber)?  
Any help is appreciated and latex is ok.  Getting discouraged as I rarely can cum anymore unless the lady is super tight or has amazing Kegel control.

Thanks

Magnums are the worst.  They have a super strong rubber smell that is very hard to get rid of as well.  
Lifestyles Kings do not do that.  I prefer Lifestyles over Trojans as a rule anyway.

A lady turned me on to Trustex XL. Put them on me and they were thin as hell. Buys them online.

Hope it helps... ;)

Is there any reason ladies don't like it if you bring your own?  Allergies, other fears?

she actually had a difficulty with guys sabotaging the condoms. she said it was one method some SOBs used to get BBFS. with other SOBs she thought it was excessively attached clients wanting to knock her up, give her a baby and get her out of hobbyland to live happily ever after with her devoted admirer.

I have gotten away from FS because I am shaped almost like a wedge of cheese.  Lots of width at the base, (maybe 2.5 inches), but sorta short otherwise, (maybe 5 inches).  I have been with providers who know how to put on a rubber, but even those with average tightness just pull it off just as fast.  

Does anyone have any advice?  Thanks.

i am surprised that you have not heard of Trojan Magnum Thins, they are what i use the majority of the time for above-avg gents. also Kimono Maxx, in the black package, are a good choice, but you will have to either purchase them online (condomdepot.com) or go to a quality adult store to get them. i believe the Kimonos are a bit thinner than the Magnum Thins, and they are just as wide as a magnum condom but not quite as long.


They are called BARE and believe me I love the look on the mens faces when I use them. Its like not wearing anything at all. The amount of sensation you feel is wonderful, or so I've been told.

Monetizing the Male Ego
Why condom makers want every man to be an "extra large"

Published on April 28, 2010 by William Poundstone in Priceless

Every marketer has to decide how much product to sell and at what price. Few are as fortunate as condom makers, whose customers are glad to pay a premium for a product that isn't much bigger or better. Consider the Magnum line of plus-size condoms, a sub-brand of industry leader Trojan. Magnum's share of the market has surged (if you'll excuse the expression) from 4.6 percent of the market in 2001 to 18.8 percent today. The size of the American male has not seen a similar increase.

"Bigger than most condoms, it is designed to fit those that find normal condoms too constricting," reads one website's copy for Magnum. It closes on the tantalizing note: "These are a little smaller in Width and length than the Magnum XL's."

Oh, yes, then there are Magnum XL's. The copy tries to upsell the Trojan customer to Magnum, and the Magnum customer to XL. It's easy to see why men fall for this particular sales pitch. It's also easy to see why Trojan loves Magnums. A box of 12 regular Trojans retails for around $5.99; a box of 12 Magnums or Magnum XLs is $7.99. That's a 33 percent premium. Then there's Magnum Ecstasy, at $10.99 for a box that contains only 10. I doubt that anyone buying a product called "Magnum Ecstasy" does the math, but that's over twice the unit price of the regular Trojans.
Were these gloves instead of love gloves, "small," "medium," and "large" would retail for the same price. So the Magnum premium is pure profit. Furthermore, Trojan has never advertised Magnums. It doesn't have to.

What's not so obvious is the smoke and mirrors behind the Magnum brand. Jim Daniels, vice-president of marketing for Trojan, confessed to the New York Times that Magnums are basically the same size, just a little wider in the middle.

The regular Trojan, the Magnum, and the Magnum XL all measure 2 inches wide at the base. The base has to cinch snugly to keep the thing on. There's a slight difference in length. A Trojan Non-Lubricated is 7.8 inches long, vs. 8.12 inches for Magnum. The 0.32-inch difference qualifies as a rounding error in anyone's night of pleasure. As to the Magnum XLs, well, they're 8.12 inches long, too.

The difference is in width of the shaft. Measured at the head, Trojans are 2 inches wide, Magnums are 2.5 inches, and Magnum XL's are 2.75 inches. Well okay, that's a difference. But since all the condoms taper to 2 inches at the base, the Magnums have a rather bizarre shape. It's less a beer can than a very fashionable cocktail shaker of the 1930s

A rival brand, LifeStyles, has a "King XL" size whose vital statistics are virtually the same as the regular Trojans. There's no policing of the XL designation. And that's probably fine with all parties concerned. This is America, the land where any man can be an XL. All it takes is a little extra cash

I was in a session the other day and all I had on me where Magnums. The gent says, "Oh no! Not Magnums!" I ask, "Do you not like them?" He says, "Well, it's just that, well, I'm not a magnum" My reply? "Yes you are! EVERYONE'S a magnum!"
