Most condoms fit the average-sized penis, so if your penis is slightly larger than 5 inches when erect , you could wear a “snug” condom just fine. But don't go for just any condom. Although length is often the same across different brands and types, width and girth are most important when selecting a condom.
Do condoms go by width or length?
There is no absolute rule for who should use the different condom sizes, but the following guidelines, which are in inches, may help: a girth of less than 4.7″ needs a snug fit. a girth of 4.7–5.1″ needs a regular fit. a girth of 5.1–6″ needs a large fit.
