Find the right condom for you

Eight quick questions. Every answer maps to a real, in-stock condom in the database, with the price and the reason it fits.

Do you or your partner have any allergies or sensitivities?

Only a latex allergy rules materials out. A lube or spermicide sensitivity points to a different filter, not a different condom material.

What is your girth, around the thickest point?

Wrap a soft tape or a strip of paper around the thickest point while erect and read the millimetres. Takes about a minute, and you only ever do it once.

Which size do you usually reach for?

No stress, a rough size works too. Just know that one brand's "regular" can be another's "large", so measuring later will get you a better match.

What is your length, when erect?

Length matters less than you'd think, because most condoms unroll longer than anyone needs. We only use this to break ties.

Do you have a texture preference?
What matters more to you?

Thin and standard condoms meet the same Australian safety standard, so a thinner condom is not less safe. This just sets whether we lean towards thinner condoms or a sturdier feel.

Do you prefer vegan-friendly condoms?

Most latex condoms use casein, a milk protein, in manufacturing. Vegan ones don't, so if that matters to you, we'll keep it in mind.

Where do you prefer to buy?

Every recommendation is a real SKU with a live price, ranked by fit first. Prefer to measure precisely? Use the size calculator.

How the finder works

  1. 1
    You answer eight questions. Only two of them can rule a condom out, the latex allergy one and where you buy. The rest move things up and down the order without hiding anything.
  2. 2
    We filter, then score. All 79 condoms in the database are checked against your answers. Fit is weighted first, then feel, then price per condom. Nothing is paid for and no brand can buy a position.
  3. 3
    You get three to five real products. Each one shows its nominal width, the current price per condom and one line on why it suits your answers. No email, no account, and you can change an answer and run it again.

Why we ask each question

Every question earns its place by changing the shortlist. If it did not, we would not ask it.

Do you or your partner have any allergies or sensitivities?
A latex allergy is the one answer that removes products outright, because the alternative materials are a different shortlist entirely. A lubricant or spermicide sensitivity changes which lube we steer you towards, not the condom material.
What is your girth, around the thickest point?
Girth is the measurement that decides fit, so if you know it we use it ahead of everything else. Nothing else you tell us moves a recommendation as much.
Which size do you usually reach for?
If you have not measured, the size you usually buy is still a signal, just a weaker one. We widen the range we consider to allow for the fact that size names are not consistent between brands.
What is your length, when erect?
Length almost never rules a condom out, because most unroll longer than anyone needs. We only use it to break ties between condoms that fit equally well on width.
Do you have a texture preference?
Ribs and dots are a preference rather than a fit question, so this shifts the order of the shortlist without removing anything.
What matters more to you?
Thin and standard condoms meet the same Australian safety standard, so this is purely about the feel you want. It decides whether we lean towards the thinnest walls we hold or a sturdier one.
Do you prefer vegan-friendly condoms?
Most latex is cured using casein, a milk protein, which is not declared on the box. If it matters to you, we filter to the ranges made without it.
Where do you prefer to buy?
A condom you cannot buy is not a recommendation. This decides whether we stay with what supermarkets and pharmacies stock or open the shortlist up to online-only ranges.

Why the size on the box is not the size

Condoms are not one size, and the word on the front is not a measurement. What decides fit is nominal width, the condom laid flat, in millimetres. The same size word covers a wide spread of actual widths, which is why the finder asks about your body rather than the box you usually buy.

Regular, classic 6 52mm to 56mm
Large, XL, king, magnum 11 56mm to 64mm
Close fit, tight, snug 6 46mm to 53mm

It goes further than overlap. Durex sells Durex Intense Next Gen Close fit at 53mm and Durex Thin Feel Regular Fit at 52mm. The one sold as a close fit is the wider of the two, from the same brand. Buying by the word on the box is how a condom ends up slipping or pinching when the difference you needed was a millimetre or two.

Material and availability change the answer too

A condom that fits is the goal, but it still has to be one you can use and one you can actually get hold of.

Latex suits most people and is the cheapest and widest choice. If latex gives you or your partner a reaction, there are 15 non-latex condoms in the database, made from polyisoprene, polyurethane or nitrile, and they protect against pregnancy and STIs to the same standard.

Availability is the part most lists ignore. A condom that only ever appears on an overseas site is not much use on a Friday night, so the finder asks where you prefer to buy and keeps the shortlist to what that answer can actually reach. Prices come from Australian retailers and carry the date they were last checked, so you can see for yourself how current they are.
