Is a 4-inch penis big?

On the short side: fewer than 1 in 20 men measure this short or shorter. It is still within the normal range, and for most partners size matters less than the worry suggests.

If it is the soft length

Measured soft, 4″ is longer than 73.8% of flaccid penises. Flaccid size says little about erect size, though: some grow a lot when hard, some barely.

Girth and condom size

Length does not decide condom size; girth does. At the average erect girth of 11.7 cm (4.6 in), a condom about 53 mm wide fits. Your own girth gives your own size. Condom size calculator →
