Size Matters, Which is Why MyOne Condoms Has Your Perfect Fit

It’s a major problem few are talking about: improperly fitted condoms.

The risk of contracting an STD or having an unplanned pregnancy increases significantly when a condom doesn’t fit right. So, when the news of MyOne Condoms Perfect Fit came across our desk, we had to learn more.

The website sums up the issue perfect: “You wouldn’t settle for one-size-fits-all pants or shoes. Penises come in many different sizes. Isn’t it about time condoms did, too?”

A press release brought up some interesting points, including that nearly 83 percent of participants in one study had manhood that was too short for the average condom size (7 inches), which leads to tightness at the base and discomfort during use. Alternatively, if the condom is too big, it can slip off and lead to all sorts of unpleasantness.

As the CDC reported in 2016, there were 1.59 million cases of chlamydia, 468,000 cases of gonorrhea, and almost 28,000 cases of syphilis. That’s more than 2 million individual cases of STDs, and some of those can be attributed to either no or improper condom use.

MyOne hopes to solve some of these issues by offering 10 lengths (4.9 inches to 9.4 inches) and nine circumferences (3.5 inches to 5 inches) resulting in 60 individual condom sizes. The whole concept took seven years of research and testing to come up with a range that could do a whole lot of good when it comes to sex.

To help users get the right fit, the company is giving early adopters the chance to try out a few different sizes using a printable measuring tool and see which works best for them. It’s a free trial minus the cost of shipping ($2).

If MyOne can help increase condom use overall, then we’re all for it. At the end of the day, it’s better to be safe than sorry, and if it comes with the right fit and comfort, then we’re happy to jump on board even faster.

Hugh Jackman on playing Wolverine again: ‘It literally doesn’t matter how I answer this’

Hugh Jackman isn't sure whether he'll be back as Wolverine

Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Deadpool & Wolverine's arrival in theaters is imminent, and with it, the return of Hugh Jackman's Logan. Jackman has been playing some version of Wolverine since all the way back in 2000. In 2017, it seemed like he had hung up his claws for good with the critically acclaimed Logan, which sees the character meet what seems to be a permanent end.

Seven years later, though, he was drawn right back into the fray. In a recent interview with Collider, Jackman was asked whether he would be playing Wolverine again, and he seemed to understand that fans could no longer take him at his word.

Steven Spielberg is to blame for the lack of kissing in ‘Twisters’

Steven Spielberg wanted to keep things professional for the Twisters leads

Fans of disaster movies are relishing in the news that Twisters made more than $80 million in its opening weekend. The decades-later sequel to Twister had an opening weekend that wildly exceeded expectations, and left many wondering whether we may eventually get another sequel.

For all of the movie's critical and commercial success, though, some notice that this disaster romance was lacking something that the first Twister was sure to include. Namely, the movie ends without Glen Powell's Tyler and Daisy Edgar Jones's Kate sealing their new relationship with a kiss. Some people naturally wondered why there was no kiss in the film, and it turns out that legendary director Steve Spielberg is the one to blame.
