The condom is too tight for my boyfriend’s penis

I have a boyfriend with whom I also sleep regularly. I take the pill, he uses a condom. But we have a problem with that. Because my boyfriend's penis is big and thick, he has pain during intercourse. The condom is too tight. It has already happened that the condom has burst. I'm sure we're not doing anything wrong with the application. Are there condoms in special sizes?

Dear Ursi
Yes, the right size is really important so that the condom doesn't break and is comfortable. You can find the right size here:

Measuring stick: What size condom do I need?

It is not the size that matters, but that the condom fits properly. There are many different types and sizes of condoms. However, to ensure protection and reduce the risk of a burst condom, it is important to find the right condom.
