To measure penis size accurately, follow these steps:
Measuring Penis Length
- Ensure the penis is fully erect for consistent measurement.
- Use a ruler or flexible tape measure.
- Place the ruler or tape at the base of the penis on the top side (the side facing upward when looking down).
- Press firmly into the pubic bone to push past any fat or pubic hair, ensuring the measurement starts at the bone.
- Measure in a straight line from the pubic bone to the tip of the penis.
- Record this measurement as your penis length. This method is used by medical researchers for accuracy and consistency
Measuring Penis Girth (Circumference)
- Use a flexible measuring tape or a non-stretchable string.
- Wrap it around the thickest part of the erect penis shaft (often the middle).
- If using string, mark the point where it overlaps, then measure the string length with a ruler.
- Record this measurement as the girth or circumference
Measuring Penis Width (Diameter)
- Once you have the girth, divide that number by π (approximately 3.14) to get the width or diameter.
- This measurement is sometimes used by condom manufacturers for sizing
Additional notes:
- Measuring on the top side is preferred because the pubic bone provides a clear stopping point, avoiding variability.
- Using a flexible tape is better if the penis is curved.
- Measurements can vary slightly each time, which is normal
This approach ensures accurate and reproducible penis size measurements for personal knowledge or proper condom fitting.
