After purchasing and trying various brands of condoms, I would like to recommend Trustex Extra Large, from a girth standpoint, for the phalloplasty patient. Trojan Magnums seem to be the preferred condom for the endowed male and posers, but my issues with Magnum condoms was that the lubrication was messy and, more importantly, both the Magnum and Magnum XL taper towards the base, which is actually thicker for a lot of surgery patients.
I have provided the measurements from condomdepot.com for comparison.
Regular Trojan Magnum Head Width: 2.5" Shaft Width: 2.25" Base Width: 2" Length: 8.12"
Trojan Magnum XL Head Width: 2.7" Shaft Width: 2.12" Base Width: 2"
Trustex Extra Large Base Width: 2-1/4" Flattened Head Width: 2-1/4" Flattened Shaft Width: 2-1/4" Flattened
I was never comfortable using the Magnums because the tapered ring would kill my base and leave an indentation. I used Trojan Her Pleasure condoms before finally trying the extra large condoms from Trustex and I had the same issue as the Magnums.

Most excellent information stale! I'm still trying to upgrade to "regular size" condoms but the dream still remains to slap one of those trustex's on one day lol

Had same problem with the magnums, they leave an indentation and they cause the shaft skin to discolor a bit. So now I will try the Trustex.
Did Trustex leave any marks or discolor the shaft skin? Was it easier to roll it on? and did it roll off the base due to the turkey neck as you have sex?

The Trustex only left a slight indentation, but no discoloring. I was able to have sex as long as I wanted to, without any feelings of discomfort, though. With both the Trustex and Magnum, I'm only able to roll the condom on halfway. Then, I lift it off of my penis with both hands, unravel it, bring it over the turkey neck to the base of my penis and gently place it as far back as I can to obtain maximum girth.
The problem with the Magnum (or maybe my problem) was that since it's fairly long, even after unraveling it to the base of my penis, there was still a lot of condom rolled up, which caused the ring to be tighter and would cause it to roll to my head during sex.
With the Trustex, when I unravel it, I'm able to do so all of the way, so the ring is thin. It has not rolled or moved anywhere since using it.

You can use a bigger condom any time you're ready to, Skeptical One. Some guys use them hoping they fall off in order to 'accidently' go bareback!
