Why Condom Breaks And How To Prevent It

Have you ever wondered why condoms sometimes break during sex? It can be embarrassing and lead to unexpected outcomes. Let’s look at why they break and how you can prevent it.

Why Condoms Break

  1. Incorrect Storage:
    • Heat and Sunlight: Storing condoms in hot or sunny places like a car or wallet can weaken them. Always keep them in a cool, dry place.
    • Expiration Date: CD’s expire. Using an expired one can increase the risk of breaking.
  2. Improper Application:
    • Not Pinching the Tip: You need to pinch the tip while putting on a CD to leave space for semen. Skipping this step can cause it to burst.
    • Rolling Incorrectly: Make sure to roll the condom all the way down to the base of the penis. If not, it can slip or break.
  3. Wrong Size:
    • Too Tight: A tight condom can stretch too much and break.
    • Too Loose: A loose condom can slip off.
  1. Lack of Lubrication:
    • Friction: Without enough lubrication, friction can cause the CD to tear. Use water-based or silicone-based lubricants with latex CD’s. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can weaken the latex.
  2. Physical Damage:
    • Nails and Teeth: Be careful opening the CD packet. Sharp objects, nails, or teeth can tear the CD.
    • Jewelry: Rings or other jewelry can also damage the CD.
  3. Using Two Condoms:
    • Double Trouble: Using two CD at once (double-bagging) increases friction between them, making both more likely to break.

How to Prevent Condom Breakage

  1. Store Properly: Keep CD’s in a cool, dry place and always check the expiration date.
  2. Handle with Care: Open the packet carefully without using sharp objects or teeth.
  3. Use the Right Size: Make sure it fits properly. If it’s too tight, try a larger size; if too loose, try a snugger fit.
  4. Apply Correctly: Pinch the tip and roll it down to the base of the penis, ensuring there are no air bubbles.
  5. Use Enough Lubrication: Apply plenty of water-based or silicone-based lubricant to reduce friction and reapply as needed.
  6. Avoid Double-Bagging: Use only one condom at a time.

By understanding these reasons for CD breakage and following these tips, you can have a safer and more reliable experience. If a CD does break, consider emergency contraception and get tested for STIs to stay safe. Proper use and care of CD’s greatly increase their effectiveness and help protect you.
