I love these urban myths about guys with a penis so large it doesn't fit into the typical condom. Well golly gee, if kids can still make water balloons and field biologists can use them as tube shields etc.r I think the typical Thai latex condom will stretch the extra few mm to accomodate you long dong silver types.
Yes there are some larger version condoms on the market, but do you want to know a secret? It's more for marketing purposes than it is for market need. Don't believe me? Look at the standards set by the various regulatory bodies. The condoms have to accomodate a range of sizes. If anything, there are complaints from some Indian health workers that the size used to set the minimums are too big. Yup, that's right, the Indian manufacturers wanted to make them smaller.
Thailand is a major manufacturer and exporter of condoms for western nations. Next time you are in a Alliance-Unichem (Boots) /Walgreens/CVS/ TESCO/ADSA pick up a box of condoms. It will most likely say Made in Thailand. My understanding is that the Thai facilities still supply most of the west. That means that the condoms sold in the west are the same as the ones in Thailand.
Oh and for all of you boys boasting about condoms falling off because your shlongs are so big, you may want to be a tad more discrete. The condom is most likely to fall off in very tight positions. The typical vagina is stretchy/pliable, assuming some of you are really with a woman and have not been confused by a Pattaya based kathoey.  The zone that's usually pretty tight is the anus. Lost condoms and slippage are more often than not associated with anal intercourse. So, you manly men, shhhh or else your secret might, leak as they say. 
Many of the shirts in the west are also made in Thailand but it doesnt mean they are the same size.
Yes the local condoms do roll off for me during vaginal sex....anal sex I couldnt say..so I can only believe you as you seem to be the expert there!

No it doesn't. It means that the condoms sold in the west are manufactured in the same facilities as the condoms sold in Thailand.

The manufacture of a condom is different than that of clothing. The calibration of machinery is different and you just can't go about changing designs without dealing with the certification issues. If a condom is regularly falling off your penis during vaginal sex, it's most likely because you have not applied it properly. You may wish to ensure your skin is dry and that the interior of the condom is not moistened or otherwise lubricated. A properly manufactured condom that is applied correctly will not fall off.

No it doesn't. It means that the condoms sold in the west are manufactured in the same facilities as the condoms sold in Thailand.
Let's back up and look at the top condom brands and where they are manufactured
Trojan - USA, Durex -U.K., India, and Thailand, Lifestyle : India and Thailand and Kimono/Beyond 7/Cown: Japan
Now let's look at what's common in Thailand, ok? Lifestyle and Durex. SSL which owns Durex uses the UK for specialty products. The generic mass market condoms come from Thailand and Durex has stated that it manufactures a one size fits all. If a consumer wants something bigger, the consumer can purchase the more expensive "bigger" size. Lifestyle also manufactures a one size fits all. The Indian and Chinese manufacturing facilities are intended to service local Indian and Chinese markets which dwarf the western markets.
How do I know the condoms sold will be the same in Thailand as they are in the west? Because the manufacturer says so. And because a latex condom stretches. A standard condom can easily accomodate a range in sizes. If it couldn't then college kids would have stopped tossing condoms from dorm roofs long ago and condoms would not be abble to pass EU and US standards. It is not economically feasble to change manufacturing processes and recertify to make a "different" size when there is no need for the change. There are specific larger sizes available to address this need. If someone needs a bigger condom, they can buy them, but the standard condom has always been one size fits all.

"Safe Sex" with a Condom is just one other "urban myth", cause they can slip off easely anyime and not being felt/detected...
there is only one type of "safe sex" = NONE!
Are you relative of the pope or G.W. Bush?
Sex is the best anti-depressive when shared with the one you love!!!
So if you and your partner have only one exclusive partner, have a test and enjoy without rubber 
(then your concern would be about contraceptive method...)
Better to have 2 tests, 3 months apart, just to be sure.

MY wife once bought size 49 & I kid you not, I had to cut the thing off. That thing hurt like crazy!
I can use the largest sold in Thailand 56? But I go witht the 52, it just gives me an added since of security... I wouldn't want slippage.... & yes married folks use condoms too!!!!
But now, she had her "tubes tied" after our last child was born...
"Charlie Good"
So from experience, I know for a fact that the 49 is not a "one size fits" all condom. It may be the size that fits the Thai market, but it for sure doesn't fit me. If you really think the 49/52/56 are all the same size, waste the money and try them for your self.
I don't know what the big deal is by claiming that the Thai male penis is smaller.... Why shouldn't it be, in most cases, everything about Thais are proportionaly smaller than westerners. It is just the way things are, no real mystery. If black people really do have bigger schlongs.... more power to them! But I have been told by a many of girls, that "Too long" can be painful. I would hate to have "all that" and not be able to use it!!! But I imagine I could learn to cope.

Well it seems that at 58 years old I still dont know how to apply a condom?? (unless its a Magnum) And I must be buying them in the wrong places coz I have never come across a condom that isnt lubricated??

Not necessarily. I for one would not be happy with my wife/girlfriend taking oral or injected contraceptives for a long period of time. All medicines play around with body chemistry and who knows the long term effects. If there was a male contraceptive would men be happy to take it for 15-20 years? Without thinking about potential side-effects?

My wife took the "shot" in two consecutive intervals just as the doctor ordered. She was sterile for 5 years. We actually thought we would never have children due to the shot. Eventually after 5 years her body recovered and she became pregnant. After the birth of our first child, it became time again to select a form of B. control. She tried the pill, and honestly it made her so moody etc etc. So we opted for the condom.
She hates the cpndoms, as for me, I didn't really mind.
Any how, like I said, tubes tied now so no issues.

Funny, but I read something a while back that stated that one of the reasons the incidence of HIV in Africa
was higher was because of the preference for dry sex. (I personally couldnt think of anything worse)Apparantly some African women traditionally use a particular tree bark? inserted which has an effect on the excretary glands. Anybody else heard this story before??

From my experience it was not the "dry" sensation that the women were trying to achieve. They had an issue with the types of lubricants being used... caused burning etc. As for me, I can not handle any spermicidal lubes or condoms pre-lubed with the stuff. (Burns)
So to eliminate all doubts, I liked the non-lube types too.... but in the heat of the moment.... I aint too picky....

I gotta agree with the comments below.... I'm a big/tall guy overall, and everything is proportionate. Trying to fit the regular size is a non-starter.... The Trojan Magnum's are OK, but really feel a bit thick. I'd never tried the Durex 56s until I moved here, and couldn't find the Magnum's locally (apart from bringing them back from trips to the U.S.) So I tried the Durex 56s, and was surprised to find they fit OK and feel thinner, which the sizing/thickness stats I found and posed earlier bear out.
Interestingly, among the various larger sized products, they do seem to vary in the overall length and width/circumference in the body and head portions. But all of them seem to be the same at the ring/base, being about 2 in. in circumference.
Lovedog100, on 2009-11-21 13:51:53, said: I have to laugh at that tool to measure. It only goes to 56mm, the same as Thai condoms. Interesting that they can't conceive of anyone being bigger than that.
I spend so much time and effort trying to get a 56 on, that I usually lose my erection. Having the woman put it on stops that, but not all women will do it. I have larger condoms shipped from the states now. If you are thick, I'd recommend the Magnum XL it is the biggest out there, easy to put on. It is however a bit thick for my taste. Second is the Trustex extra large, it is bigger than 56mm, though not as big as the Magnum XL, it is very thin, for maximum pleasure. Warning: I have had a couple of the Trustex break. I stick with the Magnum XL now. There is a site will ship to Thailand at a resonable cost. I buy 100 at a time to save shipping cost. They always send me a discount coupon by e-mail for my next buy, it just about covers shipping on the next order. Here is their web address http://www.undercove...ID=CondomStyles
If Thai condoms are to small for you I highly recommend the site, and the two condoms listed. If you are long, but don't need that big around, the regular Magnum is a good choice.
Here in Thailand, I found that all 56mm's are not equal. I've only found 3 brands. The easiest to find is the Durex 56mm, in the blue package. It is also the biggest of the three. One brand I found claiming to be 56 mm, I couldn't even put on myself, it was so small, and then only rolled out about 4 inches. The Durex will roll out to about 6 inches which covers the average western man.
