Do condoms show size?

Yes, condoms do show size, typically listed as nominal width (mm) on the box, which is the flat width at the base, indicating girth, not length; finding the right size (snug, regular, large, extra-large) by measuring your girth and checking the nominal width is crucial for comfort and preventing breakage or slippage, as they are designed to fit snugly but not tightly.

Can a 7 inch fit a magnum?

A 7-inch condom (referring to length) might fit a person with a 7-inch erection, but girth (width/circumference) is actually more important for proper fit and safety, as a condom that's too tight or loose can break or slip, and standard or "Magnum" condoms vary widely in width, with some large condoms being similar in length but wider. While Magnums are marketed as larger, they often aren't much longer than standard condoms, focusing more on width, so you need to measure your girth (circumference) and check condom size charts to know if it's appropriate for you.
