They may be the best protection, but condoms can have their downside too. Men complain that they’re uncomfortable, slip and take away pleasure.
They also often don’t fit properly.The reason behind many of the problems is that the standard size of a co_ndom is too big for the average man’s 4-5. According to an American study reported in the New York Times, a standard co_ndom in America is 17cm. The Indiana University study found that 83% of 4-5s were just over 14cm.
In South Africa, health department regulations set the minimum length for a condom at 18cm and width at just over 5cm.
The thinking is that making co_ndoms extra-big will accommodate even the longest 4-5. Men with shorter 4-5s can simply roll up the extra latex at the base of their 4-5s. But many complain that this just adds to the problems because the role of latex can be uncomfortable.

According to New York Times, one customer, Shawn Reimund (34) from Texas had turned to myONE Perfect Fit because with standard co_ndoms, “the length was frustrating because you would get a lot of sliding.”
He also complained that the roll of excess latex at the base of his 4-5 would be “cutting off your circulation. I compare it to an anaconda wrapping around you.” Also, “sometimes the girth just wasn’t enough.”
Co_ndoms have been in existence for thousands of years. According to a University of California, Santa Barbara website in America, ancient Egyptians used a linen sheath to wrap around 4-5s for protection. The Chinese used oiled silk paper, while the Japanese used leather and tortoiseshell sheaths. In ancient Rome, co_ndoms were made from goats’ bladders.
In many societies, animal intestines were used to make co_ndoms.
It wasn’t until 1855 that the first rubber co_ndom was produced. It was invented by an American, Charles Goodyear.
