Order a bunch from that site. That's what I'm going to do. If you're really desperate, The Red Door is the ONLY place I've found western size condoms in Korea. I seriously doubt anyplace else has them in this country, although you might give the black markets in Daegu a shot.

"Best advice I can give is to go to a decent-sized pharmacy-preferably when it's fairly quiet-and use body language to indicate the size you need"

LOL

Now THAT would make a great scene for a movie....which probably has already been done....

Lets say you need condoms in a hurry. What Korean brands should one be on the lookout for when they go to the pharmacy at night?

Sadly, a whole generation of kids is growing up, who only know what plastic sex feels like.

I've never done a definitive study and taken measurements, but it seems unanimous that
most condoms available at Family Mart, motel vending machines, etc. are uncomfortable.
Go to a pharmacy and ask for Mama Tex. That's the brand name, but I'm sure isn't
based on English. Whether bigger or just higher quality material, ie. stretchier,
they're definitely the best readily available condoms I found in Korea.

If you're getting a Korean brand, then I think the United Colors of Benetton (yeah, they make condoms too) brand is fine. They're smaller than western ones, but it's not like latex doesn't stretch. It might look a bit like an ankle sock on the ol' wang, but they do alright for me.

Of course, the last time this discussion came up, people insisted that their dongs were way to massive and girthful for the Benetton brand, and I was publicly shamed. It took me months of therapy to get over.

I don't live in Daegu, but sometimes I go to the Costco ( the American warehouse) there but I've never looked to see if they have condoms. It may be a hassle if you don't already have a membership.

Hahaha!

Dammit, and this wasn't supposed to turn into one of those 'mine-is-bigger-than-yours' discussions!

But thanks for all the info. Wink
