Custom fit condoms? isn't the point of making them out of latex so its one-size-for-all?


That's not always true…

I suppose that you could make one-size-fits-all latex pants as well and they probably would "fit" everyone, but if you actually have to wear latex pants I'll imagine you'll want some that are cut to your size. As many different waist and inseam measurements (and combinations thereof) as there are, there exists an equally large number of penis length and girth measurements (surveys say that size does matter, but length isn't the dimension that you should be worried about). Sure, they're bunched up around the mean, just like pants sizes, but there's still an awful wide variance in there. That's not all that great an analogy, but you get the idea. :P

In any event, I can't imagine why this isn't more friggen' obvious to everyone and why the only company (TheyFit) that was coming up with sized condoms has now disappeared. Sure, they didn't come in different colors or flavors for whatever good that does, and they're not "ribbed for her pleasure;" incidentally, the newest research has come up with this being effective because it simulates the natural sliding action of the foreskin during intercourse (Yes indeed ladies, the move towards hygenic circumcision since WWII has left a huge percentage of men out there who are under 60 with less effective equipment, probably a conspiracy. Fellows too, if you're circumcised you're missing out on a large hunk of the evidentally (can't speak from experience on that, I'm in the same boat as you guys) rather sensitive erogenous spongy stuff that you should have protecting your head from desensitization. On second thought, definitely a conspiracy), but they fit! That's probably a conspiracy as well.

It's nice stuff, and is definitely preferred over the lack thereof. :P

That does suck, but I still think it looks slightly more aesthetic without the turtleneck...

They were probably too expensive.
And I'm sure that they took too much time to get fitted for and order and such.

They were really pretty cheap, were mass produced in the various sizes (an analogy of off-the-rack pants is pretty apt, you ordered them in your size but they weren't custom tailored or anything), and they counted on you to measure yourself in order to order the right size. Really the only problem I ever saw with them is that they tended to sell out of the more frequently ordered sizes too quickly.

The other problem is that men are unlikely to buy the smaller sizes if they actually need it or even average-sized men would tend to buy too large condoms negating their effectiveness.

Why would they do that? That sorta' defeats the whole purpose of getting fitted condoms. In any event, they were only available through the internet rather anonymously and, as you can see from the below (out of date, they finished with 70 sizes, not merely 55) the sizes are written in an entirely arbitrary code, so, unless you figure whomever you'll be showing the condom package to has the entire 70-size code chart memorized, I can't imagine anyone really worrying about that.

Men are on a whole not good at estimating the size of their penis especially while talking to others and especially when the cashier is female. :P

What estimate, get a friggen' tape measure. Also, online sales only, no lovely female types to try to impress.
