Does this sound familiar? This scenario can be scary and a source of a lot of anxiety. No judgment here — we’ve all been there. I’ve heard this story too many times. Most fellas won’t even notice the condom broke until after both of you finish knockin’ the boots. Condoms that are worn wrong, not sized correctly for your girth, expired or old, or used with oil-based lubrication can break or slip off.
This will put both of you at risk of getting an STD or STI and having an unwanted pregnancy. Don’t take this lightly! Here are 4 steps to follow if you encounter a broken condom:
Sometimes pieces of a condom or the whole thing can be wedged inside the body. Gently stick your finger in there, grab it, and pull it out (and use lube if needed). Condoms left in there can cause irritation, so it’s always better to check and make sure you’ve retrieved the whole condom.
An emergency contraceptive pill must also be taken within 72 hours of intercourse. The EC pill is over the counter, which means you can find it at places like Rite Aid, CVS, and even your local grocery store or pharmacy. If you don’t have access to Plan B , you may be able to take multiple doses of birth control — but don’t just gobble down those pills! Call your OB/GYN or healthcare provider to ask them if this is an option for you.
A Paraguard IUD (a small, soft, and flexible T-shaped device made primarily of plastic and copper) can be inserted to prevent pregnancy up to 5 days after the slip-up. However, you can’t do this on your own. If you want to try a Paraguard, you’ve got to see your OB/GYN doctor.
Go to the Emergency Department near you and tell the doctor what happened and ask for an STI test. Although it might be nerve-wracking, you have to be completely honest.
You can also take Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) within 72 hours. Post Exposure Prophylaxis is a combination of antiretroviral medicines that prevent you from becoming infected with HIV if you were potentially exposed. Remember each sexually transmitted disease and sexually transmitted infection has a different lag time between when you get it and when it will show up on a test. I recommend getting repeat STI testing in one month and in six months just to play it safe.
Many couples skip this step — that’s a mistake, because unless you understand WHY the condom broke, you may put yourself at risk for it happening again. So ask yourself these questions:
If so, toss that box and purchase new condoms. Keep them away from heat and light, don’t carry them in a wallet, and don’t open them with anything sharp like scissors or teeth.
Practice makes perfect. Lubricate the inside of the condom if needed (but make sure you don’t use oil-based lube). Pinch the tip of the condom to prevent air bubbles. Roll the condom down over the tip of his hard penis. Leave some space at the tip so the condom can collect semen. Unroll the condom down his shaft. Lubricate the outside of the condom.
Measure the girth (thickness) of his penis when it’s erect. Then check out this post to learn which size condom he should be using. You might be surprised!
Using something like olive oil or plain coconut oil as lube can be dangerous because it can cause a latex condom to rip. Try one of ASTROGLIDE’s latex-friendly lubes instead!
Remember, condom accidents can happen to anyone — don’t beat yourself up about it! Just follow these steps to make sure you deal with the problem in a safe and smart way. Have any questions about condoms and safe sex? Tweet them to @ASTROGLIDE .

Condoms are one of the most effective ways to prevent and lower the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). But they're only effective if you use them consistently and correctly.
Even if you use a condom without fail, there may be times it slips off during sex or spontaneously bursts or ruptures. This can happen if the condom:
Studies suggest that typical use of male condoms can still have a 14% failure rate. 1 However, when you use male condoms properly, they are 97% effective at preventing pregnancy and STIs, including HIV. 2
This article reviews the possible ways a condom can fail and how you can use a condom the right way to prevent condom failure.
Proper condom use isn't limited to the time you're having sex. It starts from the moment you buy the condom and ends when you dispose of it. To prevent condom failure, there are 10 things you need to do:
To get the right size, measure your penis while it's erect. This helps you know the right length, width, and girth. You can match the measurements to the sizing chart on the condom box.
Never use oil-based lube, including baby oil or coconut oil. This can damage the latex and increase the risk of rupture.
Never use lambskin condoms. Only use condoms that are marked as approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
You should not store condoms at temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit or less than 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep condoms out of direct sunlight and never store them in the glove compartment of your car.
If the condom is expired, throw it out—no exceptions. There's no guarantee of how effective it will be if it's past the expiration date.
Tears often happen when you're rushing and rip the condom package with your teeth. To avoid this, use nail scissors instead.
You can even take a condom out before sex and put it by your bed.
Know what side of the condom is up and how to roll it on correctly with an open reservoir tip. Don't wait until the last minute to learn how to use a condom . Practice either alone or with your partner to get it right before having sex.
Rupture can occur when there's a lot of friction during sex.
Avoid this by using plenty of lubricant. If you need to, pull out to put on more lubricant. This is especially true if you or your partner have any vagina or penis piercings .
If you don't take a condom off right away, your penis can shrink and the condom can slip off as you pull out. This can spill sperm into the vagina or rectum.
After ejaculating, pull out carefully, remove the condom, tie up the end to prevent it from spilling, and throw it away.
Even if you want to have sex again with the same partner, resist the temptation to reuse a condom. There may be ejaculate on the outside of the condom. Plus, a used condom is more likely to burst.
You can't tell if someone has an STI by looking at them. Don't let anyone talk you out of using condoms or suggest that pulling out early is safe. If you don't have condoms, you can either wait until another time or engage in safer sex practices like mutual masturbation.
It's also good to know what condoms can't effectively protect you from.
For example, research suggests using condoms 100% of the time only reduces your risk of genital herpes ( herpes simplex virus type 2 ) by 30%. 3 For that reason, you should know the signs and symptoms of herpes and avoid sex during an acute outbreak.
Also, typical use of condoms is 80% effective in preventing HIV transmission during vaginal sex and 70% during anal sex. 4
For more protection, someone with HIV should be on antiretroviral therapy to lower the chance of spreading their infection to their sexual partners. At the same time, their partners who don't have HIV should consider taking pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP . This will help lower their chance of infection.
Using condoms the right way can help prevent pregnancy and lower the risk of getting a sexually transmitted infection (STI). But certain factors can lead to condom failure, like using expired condoms, storing at the wrong temperature, or using an oil-based lubricant.
If you don't protect yourself each time you have sex, you risk an unplanned pregnancy . You also risk getting or passing on a sexually transmitted infection. Always use a new condom every time you have sex.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the rate of condom failure is 13% with typical (real-world) use. This means that 13 of every 100 couples who use only condoms for birth control will become pregnant after one year. 5 With perfect use—meaning using condoms correctly with every episode of sexual intercourse—the failure rate is closer to 2%. 6
While the failure rate of male condoms is 13% with typical (real-world) use, the failure rate of other forms of birth control are: 5
For condoms to provide optimal protection from pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, you need to use them correctly with every episode of sexual intercourse. Additionally, you need to: 7
If a condom breaks or slips off during sex, stop immediately, withdraw the penis, and put on a new condom. 8 If there is a risk of pregnancy, you can get an emergency contraceptive to be started within five days. 9 If there is a risk of HIV, start a 28-day course of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) within 72 hours of exposure. 10
