Magnum L and XL are both 8" long. XL is a bit wider, September 1, 2010
This review is from: Trojan Magnum XL Extra Large Latex Condoms, Lubricated, 12-Count Boxes (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)
Pros; Cheaper than buying at the store A little wider than regular magnums. Cons; Lubricant doesn't lubricate much Lubricant irritates (my) skin It doesn't stretch too well It is not long enough to cover entire shaft (condom is about 8.25 inches long) Not much larger than regular Magnum; They are almost the same length (Magnum is about 8 inches long) Veredict; A waste of cash even if at a good price since it won't provide the comfort nor the "natural" feel we seek. However it is better than no protection. Since we are all different, I recommend you try different brands. The following are some of my Magnum comparisons to other brands; Kimono Microthin Large (as long as Magnum but they stretch better and therefore feel more comfortable). If Magnums are good for you, you will like these better. Durex XXL was good - Considerably longer than both Magnums at around 9.5 inches and wider than regular Magnum but a little tighter than XL Magnum. Worth trying as a better alternative to Magnum as it protects more area. Lifestyle also make XL but they are smaller than Magnums; Still they might be right if regular condoms are too small but Magnum is slightly big for you. I have not settled the issue of which is better as I have not found a condom that fits me just right so I may update this in the future. I will also appreciate feedback from you guys around my size if you have found a product of better quality and dimensions than the ones I have listed above. I hope you find my review helpful

Does not fit, October 11, 2009
This review is from: Trojan Magnum XL Extra Large Latex Condoms, Lubricated, 12-Count Boxes (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)
OK...I know this is going to sound like bragging but it's not. It's actually frustrating. The condoms claim to be "XL" but they don't seem to be XL. Maybe I don't understand how big XL is. All I know is, they are too small. Maybe I'm some kind of mutant who isn't normal in size and shape but I don't understand the point of tapering down a condom from the head to the base. The head of the condoms will accomidate the 16.5 cm but the base will not. It cuts off the circulation like a rubber band. And not in a helpful, c0ck ring way, but in a harmful, feels like it's cutting in two, way. Very uncomfortable. Also too short but, again, maybe I'm not normal. :)

Size matters! Lady approved., January 12, 2011
This review is from: Trojan Magnum XL Extra Large Latex Condoms, Lubricated, 12-Count Boxes (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)
As is evident from the reviews, condoms are extremely personal and what works for one man isn't guaranteed to work for the next.
Oh, bigness. Like another reviewer said, it really is a blessing and a curse.
I saw a few too many negative reviews here and wanted to add my (feminine) opinion.
Apparently, condom manufacturers think that 7 inches is extra large. Not so.
I know there are many of you in the 8, 9, 10 range.
This is the condom for larger than large guys that are not monstrously huge.
These are significantly better for us than the regular Magnums in terms of length, staying power, and lubrication.
Have never had one break or slip off, and no problems with odor, lubrication, or lack of feeling.
They are not at all thick, but, if I could request any improvements, they could stand to be even thinner; on the other hand, what condoms couldn't.
I borrowed these measurements from another website - can't guarantee they're 100% accurate, but they seem to be about right:
Length: 8.07"/205mm
Width: 2.13"/54mm
Head width: 2.56"/65mm
I was interested in the Microthin Kimono Large condoms, but their website cited those as being about 7.68"/2.05"/2.34" in those categories, which makes them smaller in every way. Kimono MAXX are exactly the same, just thicker. Sir Richard's "ethical" extra large condoms come in at about 7.48"/2.2"(no head width given), so, they're even shorter than Kimono, but slightly wider.
That makes these some of the biggest and widest condoms on the market. My partner and I have found them to be superior to all others we've tried.
I highly recommend.
Also, would like to add, this price for a three-pack is absolutely stellar. You pay this much for one box at Walgreens or Duane Reade.
