Japanese Condom Sizes: Diameter, Flat Width and Length on Okamoto and Sagami Boxes

By the OOBiz product information team. Reviewed on November 8, 2026.

Size is printed differently on Japanese boxes than on many US boxes. Some brands state a nominal width, measured with the condom laid flat. The Okamoto and Sagami boxes we sell do not print a flat width. Sagami prints a diameter and a length. The Okamoto 002 boxes print a size label such as Regular or L, and no millimeter figures. This page explains the terms and lists the figures each maker gives, with the source and the date we checked it. We do not estimate or convert any figure the maker does not publish.

Three different measurements

Diameter (直径). The distance straight across the condom when it is round, in millimeters. This is the figure Sagami prints on the back of its Original 002 boxes.

Flat width, or nominal width. The width of the condom laid flat. Some brands print this figure instead. It is not printed on the Okamoto or Sagami boxes on this page.

Length (長さ). The length of the condom in millimeters. On the Sagami Original 002 boxes, the length is marked as the company's own measurement.

A diameter and a flat width are measured differently, so the two numbers should not be compared directly. Because the boxes do not give a flat width, we do not publish a converted figure.

Common questions

What size is Sagami Original 002?

Sagami gives the Original 002 Regular a diameter of 36 mm and a length of 170 mm. The Original 002 L has a diameter of 38 mm and a length of 190 mm. Both are the maker's own figures.

How big is Okamoto 002 L?

Okamoto does not print a diameter, length or width for Okamoto 002 L on the box or on its product page. The box states that it is larger than the regular size of the series.

Is the diameter on a Japanese box the same as nominal width?

No. Diameter is measured straight across the round condom, and nominal width is measured across the condom laid flat. The two figures are measured differently and should not be compared directly.

Why don't you list a width in millimeters for Okamoto?

Okamoto does not print one on the boxes we sell or on the product pages we checked, so we list only the size label printed on the box.
