Quick Answer

If your condom feels loose or slips during use, you likely need a snugger fit. Look for condoms with a smaller nominal width—like MyONE Custom Fit—and check your measurements to find the right size.

Why Condoms Slip and What to Do

A condom that slips or wrinkles during sex is a clear sign that the fit is off. The most common cause is a nominal width that's too large for your erect girth. When the condom can't grip firmly, it moves, reduces sensation, and increases the risk of breakage or leakage.

The solution isn't to tighten the condom yourself or double up—both are unsafe. Instead, choose a condom with a smaller nominal width. MyONE Custom Fit condoms come in a range of girth numbers, so you can match your exact measurement for a secure, comfortable fit.

How to Measure for a Snugger Fit

To find a snugger fit, measure the circumference of your erect penis at the base. Use a flexible tape or a strip of paper and mark where it overlaps. Divide that number by 2 to get your nominal width in millimeters. For example, a circumference of 100mm gives a nominal width of 50mm.

If your current condom is too loose, you likely need a nominal width smaller than what you're using. MyONE Custom Fit condoms are labeled with a girth number that corresponds to the nominal width, making it easy to select a tighter option.

Diagnosis: Why Your Condom Feels Loose

  • Symptom: Condom slips, wrinkles, or rolls down during use. This indicates the condom is too wide for your girth.
  • Likely Cause: Nominal width is too large for your erect circumference. You need a smaller nominal width, not a different brand of the same size.
  • Corrective Action: Measure your girth and choose a MyONE Custom Fit condom with a lower girth number. Try a snugger size and test the fit.
  • Stop or Choose Another Option: If the condom is still loose after trying the smallest available width, consider a different brand or consult a healthcare provider—never use two condoms. Safety first: a properly fitting condom should stay in place without extra effort.
