<p>Thanks…weird comment about BWRK, so I wanted to clarify…and mizzbee…probably! </p>
<p>I am seeing the need to market not only a multi-size condom box, but a disposable measuring tool. I am thinking it would be similar to one of the pasta measuring things we all have in the kitchen junk drawer.</p>
<p>maidenmom…with instructions on when it is too small and needs to be thrown back??</p>
<p>Or how about a volume displacement measuring tool, i.e., if you can displace the contents of the beer you just opened, this one’s for you!</p>
<p>This conversation reminds me of the first time I had to buy DS a cup. They come in regular and large. He was only 6, so I asked if they had a small. Umm, no. They wouldn’t want to make anyone feel bad. ;)</p>
<p>Good point… is the XL meant for length, girth, or both? At least everyone knows what a Twin XL sheet size is.</p>
<p>Great thought, woody. Trojan needs to offer Twin XL, Full XL, and King XL. I don’t think a Queen XL would sell very well.</p>
<p>According to the ever accurate google search, one size does NOT fit all, and size is related to girth. </p>
<p>Thus the need for the pasta measuring tool.</p>
<p>. . . or kind of like the loop of measuring spoons but just a bunch of multi-size rings to check diameter? Which brings me to a question for woody (no pun intended) is one sizing for length or girth?</p>
<p>Dont forget California King and extra depth.</p>
<p>wow - multi crosspost!! It seems we all need a class on this. Don’t they always say that there’s never a stupid question because everyone else is probably wondering the same thing but just afraid to ask?</p>

<p>True story about my ex’s sister… her son came home from his first middle school football team mtg. She was in the kitchen when he came up to her and said, “mom, coach says I need a cup for football.” His mom says, “well, just go get yourself one out of the cupboard.” Nephew says, “no, mom, not a cup for drinking… a CUP” </p>
<p>Followed up by mom going to store to buy one and staring at the choices with another mom who was there & both asking each other how they’re supposed to
know what size/style to buy.</p>
<p>“Dont forget California King and extra depth.”</p>
<p>Which brings us full circle to Tommy Lee!</p>
<p>I laughed out load so S asked “What is so funny?” I read him the comment on acceptances to condoms and he laughed too. Then I said “We should get you some condoms to have on hand at school.” He said “Why I can just go buy them…” How do I tell him that having them on hand ahead of time for those maybe unplanned moments might be a good idea. How do you tell a kid who has no concept of hooking-up that it might happen to him once he has all that freedom at college? I don’t want to condone causal sex but it happens! Plus it sounds like us parents are making sure these kids are super prepared - on the pill and fists full of condoms! (wink…wink… ;))</p>
<p>look what I found! Chart at the bottom of the article:</p>
<p>[Condom</a> Size Chart - Choosing a Condom](<a href=“http://std.about.com/od/condoms101/a/condomsize.htm]Condom”>Condom Size Chart: How to Find the Right Brand and Style)</p>
<p>vlines, do you think they come in both metric and english? My H gets so upset when he needs the metric and all he has is his english.</p>
<p>I vote for the adjustable tool. After each measurement, you could racket it back down so that the next time a measurement was needed, the “subject” would get an ego boost.</p>
<p>vlines: Tool #1 looks . . . safer. The caliper effect in the second image seems a little scary and you might “measure small” if unnerved by it.</p>

<p>I am NOT ready to be called grandma yet. So whatever it takes.</p>

That reminded me of this, one of my all time favorite Roz Chast cartoons (my all time favorite cartoonist).</p>

<p>I tried to catch up on this thread too quickly, and honestly, when I first read this sentence, I thought it was referring to the link in the post directly above it.</p>
