By PhillyCondom Editorial TeamPublished 7 min read

Durex XXL condoms are an option if regular condoms feel tight or short, but in the US they are hard to buy in practical quantities and the listing gives little sizing detail, so most people will be better served comparing them with Trojan Magnum XL, SKYN King Mega Large XXL or a MyONE custom size. Below we cover what you can and cannot learn about Durex XXL, how to tell whether you actually need an XXL condom, and the alternatives with clearer sizing.

How we chose: we compared current Amazon listings for extra-large condoms on published width, material and fit features, and favored listings that state their size clearly.

What we know about Durex XXL condoms

The current US listing for Durex Classic XXL is short. It confirms the product name, an XXL fit and the pack size (3 condoms, sold as a pack of 2), but it does not list the nominal width, length, lubricant type or other features. That is unusual for Durex, whose other US listings usually state the nominal width, such as 56mm for regular fit and 60mm for wide fit.

What that means in practice:

  • It is a latex condom from Durex’s classic range, so use water-based or silicone-based lube only, never oil-based products.
  • Exact sizing is hard to compare without a published width, so it is harder to know in advance whether it will be roomier than Magnum XL or SKYN King.
  • Small packs make it a reasonable thing to try, but an expensive way to stock up.

If you like Durex and mainly need more girth, Durex also sells Extra Sensitive in a wide fit with a 60mm nominal width, which is easier to find and gives you a published size to compare.

Do you need Durex XXL condoms? How to check

Many people who buy XXL condoms do not need them, and a condom that is too big is more likely to slip off. A condom that is too tight can be uncomfortable and may be more likely to break. Fit is about girth (around the shaft) more than length, because most condoms are long enough for most people.

Signs you may need a larger condom:

  • Regular condoms feel tight, pinch at the base, or leave a mark.
  • The ring of a regular condom feels like it is squeezing.
  • Regular condoms do not roll down far enough to cover most of the shaft.

Signs XXL may be too big: it wrinkles, bunches at the base, or slides during sex. In that case, a large or wide fit is likely better. Our condom size guide shows how to measure girth and length, and our large condoms guide covers the full range of big sizes.

Durex XXL vs Magnum XL vs SKYN King: how they compare

  • Durex Classic XXL: latex, XXL fit, but limited published detail and small packs.
  • Trojan Magnum XL: latex, Trojan says it is larger than Magnum Large, with a tapered base for security. The easiest XL condom to buy in the US.
  • SKYN King Mega Large XXL: non-latex polyisoprene with a stated 60mm nominal width. SKYN calls it its largest condom.
  • MyONE Custom Fit large codes: latex, with several large widths and three lengths each, so you can match the condom to your measurements.

If you are unsure, a sensible order is: measure first, try Magnum XL or a 60mm wide fit, and move to a MyONE custom size if you are still between sizes.

Tips for using large condoms safely

  • Use lube. A little extra water-based or silicone lube helps comfort and may reduce the chance of breakage.
  • Roll it all the way down and pinch the tip to leave room for semen.
  • Hold the base when pulling out so a roomier condom does not slip off. If one does, our guide to what to do if a condom slipped off explains next steps, including emergency contraception and STI testing.
  • Store them well and check the expiration date on each wrapper.

FAQ

How big are Durex XXL condoms?

The current US listing does not publish the nominal width or length. Check the box after purchase, or choose an alternative with a published size such as SKYN King Mega Large XXL (60mm nominal width).

Are Durex XXL condoms bigger than Magnum XL?

We cannot say for sure from the listings, because neither publishes a nominal width. Both are positioned above their brand’s standard large size.

Where can I buy Durex XXL condoms in the US?

They are sold online in small packs, but are less common in US stores than Trojan Magnum. Our Trojan Magnum shop page is a quick alternative if you just need a reliable large condom.

Are XXL condoms less safe?

No. When they fit properly, larger condoms protect just as well as regular ones. Problems usually come from a poor fit, not the size label.
