Magnum (condom)
Appearance
Magnums are a brand of latex condom manufactured by Trojan.
Magnum condoms are slightly larger than standard condoms and are marketed as a better fit for more well-endowed males. Most standard condoms are designed with a length of 7 1/4 inches and a width of 4 3/8 inches. Magnums have a length of 8 inches and a width of 5 1/2 inches. The brand is highly recognizable due to its metallic-gold wrapper.
Trojan later introduced the Magnum XL, an even larger brand that, at 9 inches long and 6 3/4 inches wide, is 30% larger than standard condoms. It is the widest condom on the market today, compared to the Durex XXL which is longer at 10 inches, but less wide at 5.625 (1 5/8) inches.
