Non-latex condoms in larger sizes?

[heartoftexasgrl]

I apologize if this has been done before, I think maybe I've asked about this before but wasnt able to find it.
Does anyone know where I can find non-latex condoms in a large size? While I don't have a full on latex allergy, I definitely have a sensitivity, and regular latex condoms leave me quite irritated. The polyurethane ones are a good option, but I've found them to be less stretchy than latex, and too tight for any penis that is above average. I'm not talking about anything enormous, just something comparable to a Trojan Magnum, but in non-latex.
Any help is much appreciated.

***BTW, I'm not endorsing that specific site, I just googled 'larger non-latex condoms' and that was the first thing that popped up. A cursory search reveals those are some of the largest non-latex male condoms, but if I were you, I'd do some more research to compare the size of the Supra vs. other poly/non-latex condoms you've used and I can tell you they're 5mm shorter than the Magnums and Magnum XL, based on Condom Jungle's stats. Also see if there might be some specialty large poly condoms on the market, maybe from a smaller manufacturer. Then, if the Supra look like a good option to try, shop around to find the best price including shipping and any discounts you can find for certain retailers.

Female condoms are more expensive and have a higher failure rate than male condoms (although they have the advantage of covering more of the vulva, thus reducing the risk of skin-to-skin transmission of HSV and HPV somewhat), but those are roomier and might be worth checking out/trying as well (particularly with a partner you're fairly certain about health-wise).

I've tried those, and they're a tiny bit bigger than the others, but definitely not large. Thanks for checking though, I appreciate it.

minor thread diversion....while we are looking...what about non-lubricated (latex or non) in larger size..

BTW wtf trojan? I last had any need for condoms like 10 years ago after our 4th child. Back then trojan made regular (too snug) large (just right) and magnum (im a white guy).

Now they make regular (sorry about your luck) magnum (is this re-labeling so us adequately endowed white guys can feel bigger?) and magnum xl (lex steel?)

The town I live in doesnt sell anything but small condums...I can barely get laid to save my life. Begs the question are women in my town evolutionarily adapted to a smaller endowment or are those that are packing going bareback? Given the teen pregnancy rate (about 85%..not kidding) maybe the latter applies. Nearest Walmart is 45 miles away so theres lots of things this town doesnt have, but im thinking it wouldnt kill the local stores to care a box or two of magnums.

I've never had a problem with regular condoms fitting smaller to above average partners. I suppose it depends on your specific length and girth, but latex condoms are so stretchy that they fit a variety of sizes. I'm sure part of the condom size thing IS to give some men an ego boost and sell more expensive products, though.

OP, if you've tried the largest male non-latex and female condoms, you may just be out of luck with large partners. I couldn't find anything else that was bigger than the Skyn condoms. Since plastic isn't stretchy like latex, it'd be nice if they made more sizes, but I'm guessing that won't happen anytime soon. Still, you could suggest it to the three major companies and see if larger non-latex condoms might be coming down the pike in the not so distant future.

Since (as far as I know) you don't own a penis of your very own with its attendant nerve endings and vasular tissues..you probably dont realize that a too snug one is uncomfortable, and sensation reducing. It needs to be snug enough to stay on however which is more than half the point.

Imagine if you will that condoms were reversed and came in nice thick latex, they held you open nice and wide like a speculum...you could probably get a large speculum in but if they make one thats a better fit wouldnt you seek that out?

Please be careful!!! One day you can have an irritation, swelling or itch to latex and then the next exposure could be SEVERE! Trust me on this!

It is accumulative and can cause anaphylaxis!

When having surgery you must insist on a latex free operating room, believe it or not, they absolutely accomodate... more and more people have a latex allergy and after people have died on the table having their internal organs swell up, no hospital wants to take a risk. Any Dr. today has vinyl gloves.

Be careful of bananas, especially uncooked, avocado, chestnut, passion fruits and kiwi... they are all in the rubber tree... latex family.

Many years ago I would use latex gloves to wash dishes. I felt a bit itchy after washing and chalked it up to the hot water I was using. Then one day, after doing dishes, my hand swelled and the top layer of skin came off it was beyond any itch I ever felt!

I stay away from rubber bands, use latex free band aids, I do not blow up balloons and of course, latex free condoms.

It just happened that I did not use condoms with those I was in a relationship with that were larger than average.

Yeah, I've always erred on the side of caution and gone latex free as much as I can. Band-aids were when I first realized it was an issue. With the condom irritation, I had always just chalked it up to soreness, but then when I was getting my blood drawn often and saw how rashy my skin would get from the band-aids, I made the connection. My doc gave me an epi-pen to keep in my house just in case anything ever happened, but so far it's only ever just been an irritation. I do request latex-free gloves, band-aids, etc at the doctor's office and hospital.
I've emailed the condom companies but all I get back is auto-response BS with a $2.00 off coupon. Oh well. . . .

I have a sensitivity to some chemicals, but I haven't traced which ones yet.
All I know is (like my sister) I can't use cheap or Mates condoms. It's either Durex or Trojan. I also can't use those cooling or heating lubes, my bits get so sore.

However, I tried a non-latex condom the other day (well, the bloke was wearing it, you know what I mean) and I rode him but on dismounting, found there was leakage at the base. Not good.

I'd suggest steering clear of spermicide for sure, then, if you haven't already pinpointed that as an irritant.

Like you, I'm very sensitive to chemicals. Along with spermicide, there are certain lubed condoms I can't use because the lube produces a severe burning sensation. Lubes that contain chemicals or preservatives are likely to cause a problem, so we stick to silicone and organic coconut oil. I also have to be very careful about which soaps I use to wash that region, too, even though I never put soap between my labia.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but just wanted to let everyone know that this issue has finally been addressed, and Lifestyles has come out with the Skyn (polyisoprene) in a large size. Hallelujah!
