3.5-Inch Girth, by the Numbers
A 3.5-inch (8.9 cm) erect girth sits at the 1st percentile, thicker than about 1% of men. That is −2.8 cm against the 11.7 cm average circumference.
How it compares
This girth calls for a snug / close-fit condom, roughly a 40 mm nominal (lay-flat) width. Fit is set by girth, not length.
How this is measured
Girth is the circumference around the thickest part of the erect shaft, measured with a flexible tape or a strip of paper. It is unaffected by the bone-pressed convention that applies to length.
