Every condom package should be labeled clearly with the real size of the condom instead of buzzwords like "Magnum" , "Classic" and "Hot shot"
TL;DR: Bought condoms from a different brand, they were too small, ruined my night and now I'm angry.
I just moved to a new place, wanted to grab some condoms but my local store did not have the brand I used to buy. Since I always bought the basic "classic" condoms I just grabbed the "classic" ones from another popular brand. A few weeks later I was ended up with a nice woman in my bed and tried to put a condom but it just did not work. After 30 seconds of pulling and sweating it was finally on, but a few minutes later my dick went flaccid. I was so confused and after minutes of trying to get hard again I told my partner that we have to dispense with the penetrative part of our naughty activities.
The next day I gave it another try, this time alone, without any pressure (Should have done this before). The condoms were definitely smaller (probably too small) than the ones I used to buy. After some googling if found out that the condoms I used to buy have a 56mm diameter and the new ones only 52mm, both labeled as "Classic".
The next time I was in the near local supermarket, I spent quite some time in front of the condom shelf and inspected most packages looking for one with a "real size" of 56 mm. It took a while and i already got some weird looks from the staff working there. Most of the brands do not even have the size printed on the packages, I had to google like 70% of them.
The fact that most brands use non-benchmark terms for measurements where precision is actually important confuses me. I do not say the cant use them anymore, but at least they could print the actual size on the package. Also I wont forget again trying unknown condoms first alone in a solo mission.
Edit: Turns out I just picked a brand which makes condoms for a tighter fit. Changed to another brand and the "normal" size fits.
Edit2: Never thought I'd learn so much about condoms in one day.
Edit3: I know how and where to buy condoms, it was just a rant about condom brands not labeling the size of their products well visible on the packaging.
Edit4: Turns out buying condoms is a lot like buying women clothes. The difference is you can bring the clothes back if they do not fit, the condoms on the other hand...
