As Mr Nine says, I have some knowledge in this area.
They Fit are pretty good (I've been to their factory), but in truth they offer a service that you can get in other ways for less money.
Condoms are measured in Nominal Width - this is the measurement that you get when you lie the condom over the edge of a rule. This is half the circumference of the circle of the condom - therefore, if you put a ribbon round your penis and measure it, the best nominal width for you will be a little LESS than half of the circumference. I say less because you need some tension in the material to stop it coming off inside your partner.
In WHO rules, standard condoms are 52mm wide; Asian standards are 49mm, and the largest condoms are 60mm.
Shape plays a huge part too - condoms with a flared tip (i.e. a bulbous section from the head back to half way down the shaft) give a feeling of freedom around the head, and remove the restrictive problems that you have described.
In terms of "why bother with a condom", there are all sorts of condoms that offer part of the sexual experience that a plain old penis doesn't.
Many people love flavoured condoms - they allow mouth-related sexings that nobody can complain about taste or hygeine. Textured condoms allow ribs, studs, dots, and any combination of these. There are condoms with stimulating gels, condoms with cooling gels, condoms with warming lube, we even do condoms with mild anaesthetic gel so you can party all night.
Condoms are great for anal sex - you can bag it and do your duty, then re-bag it and play elsewhere with no fear of infecting the vagina with faecal bacteria.
If you are worried about sensation, there are sensitive latex condoms (0.050 mm thick, compared to normal 0.080 mm), there are Polyurethane ones (0.025 mm) and even Polyethylene ones (0.015 mm). If you are worried about breakage there are thicker ones (0.100mm).
All in all, there are more styles than you can imagine.
And if you don't like them, I also know about HIV testing and Pregnancy Testing.
