There is no form of contraception more widespread than the condom. Neither is there any that also protects against sexually-transmitted infections. Ensuring that all Americans have access to effective condoms, therefore, is a matter of public interest ill-served by arbitrary FDA restrictions on the length and width of condoms.
FDA regulations stipulate that condoms be limited to no less than 170 mm (6.70") in length and between 47 and 57 mm (1.85"-2.25") in width. These restrictions do not take into account the wide variety of penis sizes, many of which fall outside these "acceptable" limits. Poorly-sized condoms can lead to discomfort, or worse, condom failure due to breakage or slippage. We therefore ask that the FDA limits be repealed for the safety of all sexually active Americans.
