Durex • Trojan • Magnum • SKYN • ONE • MyONE
There is no single best condom brand for every person. A better choice depends on fit, nominal width, material, condom shape, thickness, lubrication and personal preference. This guide compares popular options from Durex, Trojan, Magnum, SKYN, ONE and MyONE so you can understand what makes each range different before choosing a specific product.
“Best” is contextual—the right product is the one whose specifications and features suit your needs.
Compare brands using practical product differences rather than trying to crown one universal winner.
The condom needs an appropriate width and shape. A famous brand cannot compensate for a product that is consistently too loose or painfully restrictive.
Compare latex, polyisoprene and other synthetic materials, especially if you or your partner need a non-latex option.
Thin, textured, lubricated, straight, flared and specialised products can create different experiences even within one brand.
Some ranges offer only a few broad fits while others provide a much wider selection of width and length combinations.
Searching for the best condom brands often produces lists that rank manufacturers from first to last. That approach can be misleading because condoms are wearable products with different dimensions, materials and designs.
A person who needs a close-fitting latex condom may prefer a completely different product from someone who needs a wide condom, a non-latex material or a highly specific width-and-length combination.
Instead of treating “best” as one universal ranking, this guide compares the major strengths of several popular ranges.
Worth comparing if you want multiple fit categories alongside thin, thicker, textured and non-latex products.
Offers classic, thin, textured, non-latex and multiple large Magnum designs with detailed size specifications.
Built around synthetic polyisoprene rather than natural rubber latex, with standard and larger nominal-width options.
A Trojan range aimed at larger fits, including products with different base and mid-body widths.
Offers conventional condom styles alongside the company's separate MyONE custom-fit system.
Notable for combining multiple nominal widths with multiple lengths rather than relying on only Small, Regular and Large categories.
The chart below compares selected current products and brand characteristics. Widths refer to the manufacturer's stated nominal or base flat width where applicable.
| Brand / Range | Popular Example | Material | Width Example | Notable Feature | Good To Compare If... |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Durex | Originals / Thin Feel | Primarily latex; selected non-latex products available | Examples include 56 mm Regular, 57 mm Originals Wide and 60 mm Thin Feel Wide | Close, Regular and Wide fit families | You want multiple fit categories and a broad style range |
| Trojan | Original / Ultra Thin / BareSkin | Latex plus selected non-latex ranges | Trojan Original: 53 mm base width | Large variety of straight, thin, textured and specialised products | You want many product styles within one major brand |
| Trojan Magnum | Magnum Original | Latex | 55 mm base / 62 mm mid-body | Tapered or flared large-fit design | A standard-width product repeatedly feels too restrictive |
| Trojan Magnum | Magnum XL | Latex | 58 mm base / 63 mm mid-body | Wider flared shape | You are comparing wider large or XL products |
| SKYN | SKYN Original | Synthetic polyisoprene, non-latex | 53 mm nominal width | Non-latex-focused product family | You prefer or require a non-latex synthetic option |
| SKYN | SKYN Large | Synthetic polyisoprene, non-latex | 56 mm nominal width | Wider and longer than SKYN Original | You want a wider option within the SKYN range |
| ONE | Standard ONE Condoms | Product dependent | Many standard styles around 53 mm | Multiple styles in a conventional standard fit | You are comparing standard-width products and different sensations |
| MyONE Custom Fit | FitCode system | Product-specific custom-fit range | 45–64 mm nominal widths | 52 width-and-length size combinations | Conventional Small / Regular / Large sizing has not given you a satisfactory fit |
Durex is useful to compare when you want several fit categories within one brand. Its UK range includes Close Fit, Regular Fit and Wide Fit products, along with different thickness, lubrication and material options.
One important sizing lesson from the Durex range is that category names do not always equal one fixed nominal width. Durex Originals Extra Safe Regular Fit, for example, currently uses a 56 mm nominal width. Originals Wide Fit uses 57 mm, while Thin Feel Wide Fit is listed at 60 mm.
So even within one brand, the exact product page or packet matters.
Useful if you want to stay within one brand while comparing Close, Regular and Wide products.
Different Durex lines can use different nominal widths even when their category names appear similar.
For a dedicated width guide, see the Durex Condom Size Chart .
Trojan has a broad collection that includes classic latex condoms, thin condoms, textured products, non-latex products, sensation ranges and the Magnum large-size family.
Trojan Original is currently listed with a 53 mm base width, 170–190 mm length and a straight shape. Trojan Ultra Thin and several other standard products use the same 53 mm base reference.
This makes Trojan useful when you want to compare several different features without necessarily changing the basic base width.
The range becomes more complex with shaped products because some Trojan condoms widen substantially through the mid-body.
Magnum is part of Trojan's range and is often considered when standard-width condoms feel excessively restrictive.
The important technical difference is shape. Several Magnum products are tapered at the base and wider through the body, so one headline width cannot fully describe them.
Current examples include:
That does not make Magnum universally “better” for anyone with a larger penis. It simply gives people comparing wider condoms additional product geometry to consider.

SKYN is particularly distinctive because its condoms are built around a synthetic polyisoprene material rather than natural rubber latex.
SKYN Original is currently listed at 53 mm nominal width, while SKYN Large is 56 mm nominal width. SKYN Elite is also listed at 53 mm but focuses on a thinner construction.
This makes the range useful to compare if you want a non-latex synthetic condom while still being able to choose between a standard-width and wider option.
53 mm nominal width and synthetic polyisoprene construction.
56 mm nominal width for a wider product within the SKYN range.
See the SKYN Condom Size Chart for more sizing detail.
ONE is interesting because its conventional condom range and its MyONE Custom Fit range solve different needs.
Standard ONE products are generally built around conventional condom sizing and varied product styles. MyONE takes a different approach by creating a large matrix of width and length combinations.
That distinction is important: someone may enjoy ONE product features but need MyONE if conventional standard sizing does not provide a satisfactory fit.
MyONE is unusual compared with most mainstream condom ranges because it does not stop at Small, Regular and Large.
Its current system offers 52 size combinations using nine nominal widths and multiple lengths. Widths run from 45 mm through 64 mm.
That means someone can potentially change width while retaining a suitable length—or change length while staying near a preferred width—rather than moving to a completely different broad category.
This can be particularly useful to investigate when conventional products repeatedly feel either too loose, too restrictive, too short or unnecessarily long.
There is no universal winner because even “regular” does not mean one exact width across brands.
Trojan Original and SKYN Original currently use a 53 mm reference, while Durex's broader Regular Fit guidance can use different product-specific widths, including products around 54–56 mm.
If you already know a 53 mm condom fits well, a better shopping strategy is to compare other products around that actual width rather than searching only for the word “Regular.”
See Regular Condom Width for more detail.
For wider sizing, compare both Magnum-style shaped products and brands that publish wider nominal-width options.
Magnum is notable for flared products such as Magnum Original, Raw and XL. Durex has Wide Fit products including selected 57–60 mm options. SKYN Large provides a 56 mm non-latex option. MyONE extends much farther through its custom width matrix.
These products should not be ranked only by the largest number. A wider condom is not automatically a better condom. The relevant question is whether the product dimensions are appropriate for the person using it.
Read the XL Condom Size Chart for more wide-size comparisons.
Several brands now offer non-latex condoms, so people who cannot use natural rubber latex are not limited to only one manufacturer.
SKYN is strongly focused on synthetic polyisoprene products. Durex offers non-latex options including Real Feel and other selected products. Trojan also has dedicated non-latex products including G.O.A.T. and other current non-latex lines.
If latex allergy is the reason for switching, check the exact material statement on the packet rather than assuming every condom from a brand is latex-free.
Most major brands have thinner product lines, so “best thin condom” is again a product-level question rather than a brand-level answer.
Durex has Thin Feel and Nude lines, Trojan has Ultra Thin, BareSkin and other thin ranges, and SKYN offers thinner products such as Elite alongside Original.
Before prioritising thinness, make sure the width and overall fit are appropriate. A very thin condom that fits poorly is not a better choice simply because it uses less material.
Among the brands compared on this page, MyONE stands out for the number of distinct width-and-length combinations in its Custom Fit range.
Instead of treating someone as simply Small, Regular or Large, the FitCode system combines a width number with a length code.
This type of system may be worth comparing if common store-bought sizes repeatedly fail to provide an appropriate fit.
No brand reputation can replace correct sizing. A well-known manufacturer can offer a high-quality product that is still too narrow or too wide for a particular user.
This is why fit should come before brand loyalty. If you know the nominal width of a condom that currently fits well, that width provides a useful baseline for exploring other brands.
Use the Condom Brand Width Comparison to compare actual numbers across brands.
Labels such as Close, Regular, Standard, Large, Wide and XL can be useful within one brand's catalogue, but they become much less precise when moving between manufacturers.
For example, a 56 mm product might be categorised as Regular in one range and Large in another.
The actual millimetre measurement therefore provides a clearer starting point.
Read Condom Size Based on Width for the complete explanation.
Instead of asking which logo is best, narrow the decision using a short sequence.

A useful way to compare popular condom brands is to match each range with the feature it is particularly useful to investigate. These are not universal rankings.
Durex offers multiple fit categories and numerous thin, thick, textured and non-latex product variations.
Trojan combines conventional straight products with textured, thin, non-latex and shaped ranges.
Magnum is particularly relevant when comparing larger base and mid-body dimensions.
SKYN provides a range centred on synthetic polyisoprene with standard and larger-width options.
ONE provides conventional products with multiple style and sensation choices.
MyONE offers considerably more size combinations than typical Small / Regular / Large systems.
Brand choice becomes easier once fit, material and product dimensions are separated from marketing labels.
Measure erect girth and length before assuming a familiar brand or category will provide the right fit.
Choose a material that is appropriate for you, then review the exact product instructions and lubricant compatibility.
Compare actual millimetre dimensions instead of assuming every brand uses the same Small, Regular or XL system.
Yes. Even two products that list the same nominal width can feel different because the condom may use a different material, shape, length or elastic construction.
A straight 53 mm condom is not necessarily equivalent to a bulbous product with a 53 mm base and wider mid-body. Likewise, latex and polyisoprene condoms with matching width numbers remain different products.
Use width as a powerful comparison tool, but do not treat it as the only product specification.
No universal conversion exists between the brands. A standard Trojan product may use a 53 mm base width, while Durex has product-specific regular and wide widths that can be different.
The correct approach is to compare one exact Durex product with one exact Trojan product.
Neither is universally better. The products serve overlapping but different preferences.
SKYN is useful to investigate if you want a range built around non-latex synthetic polyisoprene. Trojan has a much broader mix of conventional latex, non-latex, textured, shaped and Magnum products.
If both brands offer a width that suits you, material and product features can become the next comparison.
See SKYN vs Trojan Condom Sizes for more detail.
Durex offers both latex and selected non-latex products, while SKYN is known for its non-latex polyisoprene range.
A user who comfortably uses latex might compare the much broader Durex catalogue. Someone specifically seeking polyisoprene may naturally spend more time comparing SKYN products.
Fit should still come first. SKYN Original's 53 mm and SKYN Large's 56 mm widths demonstrate that material choice does not remove the need to choose an appropriate size.
Among the ranges compared here, MyONE has the most granular dedicated sizing system because it combines multiple widths and lengths into 52 FitCodes.
That is different from a conventional product family where perhaps two or three main fit categories are offered.
More size options are useful only if the extra precision addresses your actual fit problem. Someone who already fits a common 53 mm or 56 mm product comfortably may not need a custom system.
Reviews can describe personal experiences with feel, smell, lubrication or packaging, but another person's experience cannot tell you whether a condom will match your own dimensions.
Start with measurable specifications such as nominal width, product length, material and shape. Personal reviews can then be secondary context rather than your primary sizing method.
A variety pack can be useful for comparing texture, thinness or lubrication when the included condoms use an appropriate fit. However, a variety pack is less useful if every product in it uses a width that is already unsuitable for you.
Always check the dimensions of the products included in the pack before treating a variety pack as a sizing test.
Whichever brand you choose, correct use remains essential. Use a new condom for each act of sex, check the packet and expiration information, put the condom on correctly and follow the product instructions.
With latex condoms, oil-based products can weaken the material; water-based or silicone-based lubricants are generally the safer compatible categories unless the exact product instructions state otherwise.
Condoms reduce pregnancy and STI risk when used correctly, but they do not eliminate all risk.
Product specifications can vary by market and can change over time. Use these official brand pages together with the information printed on the exact condom packet.
