This girth calls for a standard condom, roughly a 54 mm nominal (lay-flat) width. Fit is set by girth, not length.
What this size means
Thicker than about 62% of men. Girth spreads out less than length, so the climb from the 11.7 cm average to the 90th percentile is only about 1.4 cm around, roughly 4–5 mm across.
