Penis size how to measure

How to Measure Your Penis Size Correctly

When you’re a man, you can’t help but wonder about penis size. Maybe it’s something about being masculine, or maybe you’re just curious. I don’t think I ever met a man that didn’t think about the size of his penis at one point or another during his life.

It’s impossible not to think about your penis size when the pants come off.

The issue is how to measure your penis size correctly.

There isn’t exactly a guide that comes with every man telling him how to measure his penis size or girth. This is something that men have to figure out on their own, and we’re going to tell you how to measure the size of your penis correctly.

Measuring the Size of Your Penis

Men have a lot of questions when it comes to measuring their penis. Measuring should be simple and easy, and it is once you know how to start.

You’re going to need a ruler, and make sure that you choose a ruler with a flat end that isn’t sharp. A wooden ruler works well for this purpose, and they’re easily found in most retailers. Walmart or somewhere similar will have a ruler available.

Measuring tapes where there is a stop will work well, too.

Now, you’ll want to follow these steps:

You’ll want to shave your pubic hair if it’s getting in the way. Keep in mind that you’ll want to take measurements when you’re erect. This measurement can be done when you’re in the mood, or you can masturbate to get yourself fully erect.

If you measure a flaccid penis, you’ll be unhappy with the results.

Measuring Your Girth

The first time I heard someone say measure your “girth,” I had no idea what they were talking about. It was one of those conversations that you nod and act like you know what the other person is talking about out of fear of feeling dumb.

Well, I am going to spare you that feeling.

Your girth is the “circumference,” or thickness, of the penis. And this is able to be measured by using a tape measure. You’ll want a soft measurer – not the metal ones used by repair men. A sewing store will often have the right tape measurer for the job.

If you try measuring using another method, you’ll likely get the wrong measurement.

Now, you’ll want to be fully erect and naked from the waist down. You’ll need to determine which part of your “rod” or “shaft” looks the thickest. This is the area you’ll want to measure. You shouldn’t need anything bigger than a few inches.

All you have to do is to measure the circumference of the penis by wrapping the measurer around the penis.

That’s it. You successfully measured your girth.

You’ll want to write down these measurements and keep them safe if you’re trying to increase the length of your penis (more on that below).

Average Penis Size by Race

A lot of people wonder is penis size genetic?

And this is a question that a lot of researchers have tried to answer. Since your size is an observable trait, it can be attributed to your father, mother or neither.

Genetic remixing when the egg and sperm meet can also lead to traits of neither parent.

There are 200 genes that are altered or mutated slightly when the sperm and egg meet. What all this means is that your size may not be attributed to your parents’ genes, and it could be a gene that you share alone.

Conflicting studies make it difficult to understand the average penis size by race. Men have always heard that African Americans have bigger penises, and a study by Ulster University affirmed many “beliefs” about penis size.

Average Penis Size By Country Stats

African men have an average penis size of 6.3” on average. This covers the entire continent of Africa, so there may be white men included in the study, too.

Medium penis sizes are seen in many countries that have a majority of people being Caucasian:

And this data is a little fuzzy, according to other research in the field.

Asian men had the smallest penis size, with Northeast Asians having an average penis size of 4.2”.

A recent study of 15,000 men of all different races found that men had an average penis size of 5.5” – 6.2”. The study also found that just 5% of men had an erect penis that was 6.3” in length or longer. So, if you’re in the 5” – 6” range, you’re in that average range.

The penis chart displayed shows that 12 relevant studies on the matter was included.

What’s more interesting is that the same study found that there was no correlation between race and the size of a man’s penis. This is a shocker based on other studies, but it seems that more studies are pointing to race not being a deciding factor in penis size.

But the averages still hold true, despite conflicting data.

The average penis girth when erect was 4.59”, according to the study. Girth was 3.67” when the person was flaccid.

Increasing Penis Size

You may have measured the size of your penis and came across a startling find: you’re not as big as you thought. The good news is that there are ways to change all of this:

Men can increase their penis size, in most cases, by 1” – 3” as long as they’re not at the top end of the penis size spectrum.

Jelqing exercises will allow you to enhance these results and will often make penis growth or extension move along faster. Expect to use an extender for 2+ months to be able to experience the best results.

How To Correctly Measure Penis Size

How To Correctly Measure Penis Size

When a person is looking to start to enlarge his penis, it’s important to have an initial baseline set of measurements in order to more accurately determine just how much larger the penis is getting with the products being used to increase its size. These measurements should be carefully done.

How to Measure the Flaccid State

In the flaccid state, to correctly measure the penis, a person should take a soft, plastic coated tape measure, not a flexible metal one, and extend the tape measure about six to eight inches. The tip of the flaccid penis should be extended forwards and perpendicular to the floor. The tape measure needs to be put along side of the penis, not either on top of it or below it. A side measurement will be more accurate.

The person needs to note where the tip of the penis meets the tape measure in the front and where the tape measure rests against the base of the pubic bone at the back. The average flaccid measurement should be under six inches. It’s important to hold the tape measure stiff and taut, then simply glance downwards to see the number of inches of the exact length. Write this down as soon as possible so it’s not mixed up or forgotten.

It’s also essential that the penis girth or circumference is measured accurately. Take the same tape measure and wrap it around the middle and widest part of the flaccid penis. Do this twice for the most accurate results. Then write this measurement down as well as soon as possible.

How to Measure the Erect State

Measurements in the erect state are considered more important to most men, but the measurement technique is very similar. Take a flexible, soft tape measure and extend it about twelve inches just to get a good, solid length open wide. The penis has to be in a fully erect state here, not in a partially erect one. With one hand holding the penis, take the tape measure and position it at the side of the penis. Don’t try to measure it across the bottom or top of the penis as inaccurate measurements may result.

Hold the penis firmly without ever trying to stretch it. Then set the bottom of the extended tape measure length against the nub of the pubic bone. Stretch the tape measure tip out to the head of the erect penis. Hold the tape measure there along the side and take two readings, one on each side, just to be certain you’re getting the most accurate measurement possible. Quickly write down the measurement so it’s not forgotten.

Since every man’s penis size is different when erect, it’s important not to try to imagine that it’s larger than it actually measures just to try to demonstrate a bigger size. This erect measurement is for each individual for himself alone. Nobody else has to see it at this point. In a short time, with the right enlargement device, the penis will definitely grow longer in its erect state, so there’s no reason to feel any embarrassment at this early point.

The erect circumference or girth also needs to be measured at this early stage. Take the tape measure and firmly but not too tightly wrap it around the widest mid section of the penis. Take this measurement two to three times just to be the most precise with it that it can possibly be, then record it down on paper.

Keeping Accurate Measurement Records

Once a baseline measurement has been set, it’s essential to keep accurate measurement records from before, during and after the penis enlargement activities that will be involved in achieving more impressive length and girth. As the penis enlargement device is used more and more often, individuals will quickly see dramatic improvements in both length and girth of both the flaccid and erect states. They should take regular measurements of at least once or twice per week the same way as described above for the pre-enlargement states. These detailed records of positive growth will make the individual feel proud and that he’s really accomplished something significant and important to his psychological state of mind.

Continuing Penis Enlargement Measurements

Once the product starts to be used, it should be used according to its instructions. Try not to deviate from how it’s supposed to be used when the goal is to obtain the largest growth results possible. Continuation of penis enlargement techniques with the product should be maintained at the maximum growth potential. Then at the end of three months, final measurements need to be made to see just how successful the overall results have been. The aforementioned tape measure methods should continue to be utilized to determine the specific increases in inches that the person will be able to both fully see and feel.

How to Measure Your Penis Size Step by Step Guide

– by CondomJungle Team

There are skills in life they won’t teach you in school.

Learning how to measure your penis size is one of them.

This extracurricular activity seems unnecessary in everyday life, perhaps. That is unless you want to figure out what condom size you need.

Before we get going, remember to pay close attention to the tips and take notes if necessary because you want to do this right.

Why measure your penis?

There may be a variety of reasons you want to do this but let’s stick with these two, one of which we already alluded to:

For the sake of this article, we of course look at this task from a condom prospective.

Condoms come in a variety of sizes so knowing your penis size helps you find the right rubber for your wiener. Once you identify where you stand, head over to our condom size chart where you can review a long list of a variety of condoms.

If you happen to already know your condom size without knowing your penis size, you can leave the class if you want and visit our condom sizes product page. There you’ll find a few condom categories to choose from.

«knowing your penis size helps you find the right rubber»

Condom sizing is pretty straightforward. It’s kind of like buying a t-shirt. You don’t have to go through a plethora of sizes.

Condoms are not all the same, and even when stated as the same size they may feel slightly different. If you don’t measure yourself, you can try multiple condoms until you find what you like and what feels great.

And now without further ado… here are our tips.

Tips on how to measure your penis size

Tip #1: Relax and have fun whether you are doing this by yourself or with your partner. You are only taking the measurements of your penis so what could go wrong? It’s all in your own hands, literally.

Tip #2: You will need to have a few things handy to make the process as smooth sailing as possible.

Here are a few suggested things to have in your toolbox:

Tip #3: It doesn’t matter if your tape measure and ruler are in millimeters or inches. You can always convert the measurements you collect by using a conversion calculator. Don’t know what a conversion calculator is? Ask your friend Google to help.

Tip #4: In the previous tip we mentioned that it doesn’t matter if the tape measure and ruler are in millimeters or inches, and it doesn’t, but hear us out on this.

We think that using millimeters gives much more measuring accuracy for this purpose.

Tip #5: Get your pen, pencil or thin marker ready. It’s best not to use a thick one since that type of marker is a bit overkill. You want a nice thin line for marking the point. Stick with us; it will make more sense in the next tip.

Tip #6: If for some reason a tape measure is not available to you here is what you can do. Use scissors to cut a strip of paper that is about an inch in width and 10 or 12 inches long.

Warning: It’s best NOT to use scissors anywhere near your penis. You wouldn’t want an unfortunate mishap, would you?

Once you cut out the strip of paper, you can use it the same way you would use the tape measure. Use your thumb and index finger to hold the paper or tape measure, wrap it around your penis then mark the spot.

Tip #7: This one is self-explanatory, but we feel the need to say it anyway. Measure yourself in a private location. We don’t want you to get in trouble with the local authorities. You know what we mean.

Tip #8: Ask your partner to help you. It’s always nice to get a helping hand. This can actually be quite fun. Make it part of your foreplay, maybe even role-play with your partner being a seamstress or tailor.

If you fly solo or don’t need any help, you will need to rely on you and only you. We know you can do it.

Tip #9: This tip is related to the previous one and is entirely up to you. We recommend using a few drops of personal lubricant to help you with your penis erection.

A good slide is essential when it comes to penis play. Just about everyone’s penis dislikes dryness. If it’s kinda dry, it often doesn’t cooperate.

Tip #10: Having a notepad near by can be handy to write down the numbers so you won’t forget them. Otherwise, you would have to start over again.

Tip #11: To get the best results keep this important fact in mind: penises do not perform well in a cold environment. They tend to shrink. Keep the room temperature at a comfortable temperature, say between 59˚ and 77˚F (15˚ and 25˚C) to be able to more easily keep your full erection. Temperature is relative, however. If your preference falls outside our 18˚ range, that’s OK.

Now that the theory and tips portion of our penis measuring training camp is over, it’s time to move on to the practice field.

We suppose you now have all of the recommended tools, right? So, are you ready to measure your penis? Let’s proceed.

Technique for how to measure your penis size

The goal is straightforward. You want to get two measurements out of this. Length and girth (circumference).

In terms of penis length, there are technically two penis lengths. No, we’re not talking about two-headed mutants.

The length varies considerably depending on whether the penis is flaccid or erect. There are several scientific studies with a lot of data that dig deep on the subject of penis size either flaccid or erect and much more.

We only care about the erect length because that’s what relates to condom use.

Measuring the length

1. Get hard

You know yourself better than anybody and understand what’s necessary for you to make yourself stand at attention.

Quick tip: A ruler is straight and firm, so it’s better than the tape measure for measuring the length.

2. Measure quick

Measuring the girth (circumference)

While still keeping a full erection use the tape measure (or the strip of paper if you don’t have a tape measure) and wrap it around the base of your penis. This is the side closer to your body.

Once it’s wrapped around your erect penis, read the number.

Gauge your member

You can also gauge your «member» using a toilet paper roll. This quick and easy method lets you know in what size category to shop.

Average penis size

In case you are wondering what is the size of an average erect human penis. According to the know-it-all Wikipedia the average human dick size is 5.17 inches (131 mm).

You should know that the penis size you just measured is not going to equal the condom size. Here is why. Condoms are stretchy. In order for a condom to stay on without slipping it has to fit comfortably albeit snugly. You wouldn’t want any fluids to seep past the sheath. That is why the actual condom size is slightly smaller, approximately 80-90% smaller, than your measurements.

Penis measuring recap

Don’t take these things too seriously. It’s all fun. Unless your member swings way far in one size direction or the other, you should fit into one of the size groups typically offered by most brands. Your measurements are a good starting point and you go from there.

Conclusion

That’s all there is to it when it comes to how to measure your penis size. It wasn’t that hard, was it?

Whether you are new to this penis size measuring game or just wanted to do it again, we’re happy that our tips and technique help you compile measurement data.

We want you to have confidence when selecting the perfect condom match for your penis size.

“ How To Measure Your Penis? ”

Most men are not aware of the proper way to measure the size of their penis. Many are enthusiastic about performing exercises to lengthen their penis size without knowing how to measure the penis.

Every exercise or work is recommended keeping this standard size in mind. Let us have a brief discussion on those three processes that explain as how to measure your penis the right way:

1. Measurement during Flaccid State: The non-erected state of penis is known as the flaccid state. Before you perform some exercise, you need to see the expansion of your penis. Hold the penis and keep it parallel to the ground. You can put a ruler on the tip and take it back until the pubic bone. This total length becomes the first step of measurement.

2. Measurement of Erect Penis: Here, you need to repeat the above discussed method. The difference is you need not hold the organ in your hand, as it is normally parallel in erected state. You need to make sure that the ruler is pushed back till the pubic bone. The difference in the length can only determine the necessity and intensity of exercise required.

3. Measuring the Thickness: Measure the thickness of penis in its erected form. Three different measurements are taken in this case: one is at the tip of the penis, the second is at the middle and third is at the root of the penis. These determine an exercise plan.

If you find that the measurements are giving a good difference, you have done the correct measurement. If you know how to measure your penis, then you can consult the size differences with the sexologists or physicians and determine the next steps.

How To Measure Your Penis

Cylinder Sizing

Why is cylinder sizing important?

Dr. Joel Kaplan developed different cylinder sizes to maintain a good vacuum seal while allowing enough room for maximum growth. Instead of using a “one size fits all” approach that is less effective, Dr. Kaplan decided to use the best options that will allow for faster and better growth.

Step 1: Find your shaft circumference measurement

Wrap a tape measure around the base of your penis while erect. If you do not have a tape measure, use a string to wrap around your penis and mark with a pen where the string intersects.

Step 2: Measure your shaft circumference

Take the string off of your penis. Line it up next to a ruler and mark the measurement in inches. This is your base circumference measurement.

Step 3: Find your head circumference measurement

Sometimes the penis will be bigger at the penis head than at the base of the shaft. To make sure the cylinder will be comfortable, it is recommended to measure the circumference of the penis head. Wrap another string around the thickest part of the penis head, and mark where the string meets.

Step 4: Measure your head circumference

Take the string off of your penis. Line it up next to a ruler and mark the measurement in inches. This is your penis head circumference measurement.

Step 5: Find your erect penis length

Our standard cylinders are 9” in length. In order to make sure you have room to grow, we need your erect penis length. Take a ruler, and line it up against your erect penis. Push the ruler a little bit against your stomach (about 1/2 inch). Measure your full length to the top of the penis head. That is your erect penis length.

If you are 7.5 inches long or longer, we recommend purchasing the 12 inch cylinders in place of our standard 9 inch cylinders. This will give you enough room to grow.

Scrotum Sizing

Why is scrotum sizing important?

If you are using Dr. Kaplan’s Dual-Cylinder program, we will need your scrotum size.

Dr. Kaplan developed a dual cylinder enlargement program that exercises the penis in 2 different ways to maximize growth. The second expansion cylinder fits over both the penis and the scrotum.

In order to send you the appropriate sized cylinder, we need to have your scrotum size.

Find your scrotum size

While you are flaccid (not hard), take a look in the mirror at your penis and scrotum.
