Durex • Trojan Magnum • Nominal Width Comparison
Compare Durex vs Magnum condom sizes using the measurements that matter: nominal or base flat width, mid-shaft width where published, product length and condom shape. Durex and Trojan Magnum do not use identical sizing systems, so a label such as Regular, Wide, Large or XL should never replace the exact specification of the product you are comparing.
Illustration summarises selected current product specifications; exact dimensions vary by product and market.
Brand names tell only part of the story. These four specifications make a Durex vs Magnum size comparison much more useful.
Compare the flat width at the relevant base or nominal-width point instead of relying only on Regular, Wide or Magnum branding.
Magnum's flared products may become wider through the shaft, making mid-body width important in addition to base width.
Condom length is a separate dimension and should not be inferred from nominal width alone.
Straight, tapered, flared and bulbous designs distribute room differently even when some width numbers are close.
The table below uses selected current official product information as a comparison reference. It is important to read the columns carefully because Durex and Trojan do not always describe product geometry in exactly the same way.

Durex UK organises many products around fit categories such as Close Fit, Regular Fit and Wide Fit. Its general buying guide currently describes Close Fit at 52.5 mm nominal width, Regular Fit at 56 mm and Wide Fit at 57 mm.
However, those general categories should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every Durex product carrying a similar fit description has exactly the same width.
For example, Durex Thin Feel Wide Fit is listed with a 60 mm nominal width, while Durex Originals Wide Fit is listed at 57 mm. That is why the current product page or packet remains more precise than the category name alone.
Magnum is part of the Trojan condom range and is positioned around large and XL products. A key difference is shape: many Magnum products are tapered at the base and flare through the body.
That means a Magnum condom can have one width at the base and a different, larger width through the mid-body. Trojan's current size chart therefore publishes both measurements for many Magnum products.
Magnum Original, for example, is listed at 55 mm at the base and 62 mm through the mid-body. Magnum XL increases that to 58 mm at the base and 63 mm through the mid-body.
Magnum Ecstasy is even more shape-specific: its base is listed at 53 mm but the mid-body expands much more because the product uses a parachute or super-bulbous design.
This is one of the most useful comparisons because the base-width numbers appear close.
Durex UK's general Regular Fit reference is 56 mm nominal width. Magnum Original lists a 55 mm base flat width, making the base numbers only 1 mm apart numerically.
But that does not mean the products have the same shape. Magnum Original widens through the body to a listed 62 mm mid-shaft flat width.
Only a 1 mm base-width difference—but Magnum Original's flared geometry makes overall shape different from a simple one-number comparison.
Durex Originals Wide Fit is listed at 57 mm nominal width, while Magnum Original is listed at a 55 mm base width and 62 mm mid-body width.
If you compare only the base, the Durex Originals Wide Fit number is 2 mm wider. If you compare the Magnum mid-body, Magnum is 5 mm wider than the 57 mm Durex nominal-width number.
This demonstrates exactly why a brand comparison needs shape information. There is no single honest answer to “Which is wider?” without specifying where the Magnum product is being measured.
Durex Originals Wide Fit and Magnum Raw provide an interesting base-width comparison because both currently use a 57 mm figure at the relevant flat-width reference.
However, Magnum Raw widens to 60 mm through the mid-body and is described as tapered or flared. Therefore, identical-looking base numbers do not make the two products geometrically identical.
Magnum XL is currently listed at 58 mm base width and 63 mm mid-body width. Compared with a 57 mm Durex Originals Wide Fit, the Magnum XL base is 1 mm wider numerically.
Compared with a Durex Thin Feel Wide Fit listed at 60 mm nominal width, Magnum XL's 58 mm base appears 2 mm narrower—but its 63 mm mid-body is wider.
Again, “XL” does not simply mean that every point on the condom is wider than every Durex Wide Fit product.
It depends on the exact Durex product and which part of Magnum XL you compare.
Magnum XL has a published 58 mm base width and 63 mm mid-body width. Durex Originals Wide Fit is listed at 57 mm, while Durex Thin Feel Wide Fit has been listed at 60 mm nominal width.
So Magnum XL can be wider through its flared body while its base may be close to a Durex wide product. The shape creates the real difference.
Numerically, a 56 mm width is 1 mm wider than a 55 mm width. But in this particular brand comparison, those two numbers do not describe the entire shape.
The Durex 56 mm figure is used as a nominal-width reference for Regular Fit in the current UK guide. Magnum Original's 55 mm figure describes its base, while the same Magnum product expands to 62 mm at the mid-body.
Therefore, saying simply “Durex 56 mm is bigger than Magnum 55 mm” would leave out an important part of the Magnum dimensions.
A 57 mm figure can appear in both ranges, but context still matters. Durex Originals Wide Fit uses 57 mm nominal width, while Magnum Raw lists 57 mm at the base.
Magnum Raw then widens to 60 mm at the mid-body because of its tapered/flared shape.
This makes 57 mm vs 57 mm a good example of why matching width numbers do not guarantee matching product shape or overall fit.
Durex and Magnum can use different product shapes, so compare the measurement location as well as the width number.
Many Durex product pages present one nominal-width figure for the selected fit.
Trojan publishes separate base and mid-body widths for many Magnum products because the shape flares.
Width, location, length and shape together create a more meaningful comparison.
It may be tempting to build a simple translation such as “Durex Regular = Magnum Original” or “Durex Wide = Magnum XL.” That approach is too simplistic.
First, the brands use different naming systems. Second, widths can change between individual product lines. Third, Magnum's characteristic flared shapes mean the base and mid-body dimensions can differ substantially.
A better comparison looks like this:
Nominal width is usually measured across a flattened flexible condom product. It should not be confused with penis girth, rigid diameter or condom circumference.
With a relatively straight product, one nominal-width number may give a useful summary of its width. With a flared design, a single number may hide meaningful differences at other points on the condom.
That is why Trojan's Magnum chart provides base and mid-shaft widths for its flared styles.
For the wider concept, read Condom Size by Nominal Width .
Width is not the only product dimension. Condom product length should also be compared independently.
Trojan currently lists ranges such as 180–200 mm or 190–210 mm for selected Magnum products. Durex product lengths can differ by individual line and market, so the current packet or official product page is the safest reference.
Do not assume that a wider condom must automatically be longer. Width and length are separate product specifications.
If body length is what you are measuring, see How to Measure Penis Length for Condom Size .
Shape is particularly important when comparing these brands. Selected Durex products are described as Easy-On or straight-walled, while many Magnum products use a tapered or flared design.
A flared condom can have a more secure base while providing more room farther up the shaft. A straight product distributes its width differently.
Magnum Ecstasy demonstrates an even more dramatic example because its published mid-body width is much larger than its base width, reflecting its bulbous shape.
This explains why the question “Is Durex or Magnum wider?” cannot always be answered with one number.
Neither brand is simply “bigger” across every product. Both sell multiple sizes and constructions.
A Durex wide product may have a larger nominal-width number than the base of one Magnum product, while the Magnum product can then become wider through its flared mid-body.
The correct answer therefore depends on the exact Durex product and exact Magnum product being compared.
No. Magnum is a Trojan product collection containing different large-size designs. Magnum XL is one specific product within that collection.
Magnum Original, Raw, Thin, Ribbed, Ecstasy and XL can use different dimensions and shapes. Therefore, “Magnum” should not automatically be interpreted as one universal XL measurement.
For broader XL terminology, see the XL Condom Size Chart .
No. These are separate brand-specific product categories and should not be treated as equivalent labels.
Some current Durex Wide Fit products are listed at 57 mm, while others can use 60 mm. Magnum XL is listed with a 58 mm base width and a 63 mm mid-body width.
The shape difference alone means that a simple one-to-one conversion between Durex Wide Fit and Magnum XL would be misleading.
If you currently use a Durex condom and want to compare a Magnum, start by identifying the exact Durex product rather than remembering only its category name.
Look for nominal width and product length. Then check the Magnum chart for base width, mid-body width, length and shape.
For example, if your current product states 56 mm, comparing only with a Magnum Original's 55 mm base ignores its wider 62 mm mid-body. The shape information helps explain what the numerical comparison actually means.
If you already use a Magnum product, note both its base width and mid-body width where the manufacturer provides them.
Then compare those measurements with the exact Durex product rather than simply looking for “Wide Fit.”
A Durex nominal-width number may sit between the Magnum base and mid-body values. In that situation, the shape difference may be more important than the headline category name.
The manufacturer width numbers in this guide describe condom products. They should not be treated as identical to penis girth.
Penis girth is measured around the erect shaft as circumference. Nominal or flat condom width is measured across a flattened product.
If you are starting with body measurements rather than an existing condom, first understand the measurement types before comparing brands.

Yes. Similar base or nominal-width numbers do not guarantee identical products.
Differences can include shape, material, thickness, elasticity, lubrication and product length. Magnum's flared geometry is a clear example of why the same or similar base measurement can produce a different overall shape.
Compare numbers, but do not ignore product construction.
Because condom ranges and packaging can change, this comparison uses official manufacturer information as the preferred reference. Check the current product page or packet before relying on a specific dimension.
