When would you know if a condom breaks or rips after sex? Do you feel when it rips or breaks?
Men wearing condoms should be able to tell when they break — they will feel a change in sensation. Their partners might not be able to feel the difference, so the responsibility lies with them. They can learn what it feels like by breaking condoms on purpose while masturbating. It’s also a good idea to periodically use your eyes or hands to check on a condom during sex.
You can reduce the risk of a condom breaking or ripping by using water-based lubricant — like KY or Astroglide. Click here to learn about using condoms.
You should also know that if a condom breaks and you’re not on another method, like the pill or IUD, you can take emergency contraception (“the morning-after pill”) within five days to greatly reduce your risk of getting pregnant.

A condom that is worn incorrectly or used past its expiration date during sex can break or slip off, putting you at risk of pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Here's your plan of action should accidental breakage or slippage happen.
The CDC stated that three major things should be done at the moment of a condom break: immediately stop sexual activity, withdraw, and remove the broken condom to replace it with a new one. Also, depending on your situation, other actions may be necessary to take after an experience with a broken condom.
If you know you have been exposed to HIV—or suspect it's even remotely possible you were exposed—see your healthcare provider and ask for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), a preventive treatment for HIV that may keep you from being infected.
The treatment is a month-long course of HIV antiretroviral medications. The treatment is most effective if you start the medications right away but should be taken within 72 hours of possible exposure, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) . Additionally, side effects can include extreme nausea and fatigue, but in most cases, the side effects from the medications are not life-threatening.
If you don't have a provider, you can find PEP by calling a health clinic, an AIDS service organization, or your local health department or by visiting an emergency room.
As for STIs, see your healthcare provider for a full panel of tests or arrange to be tested at a health clinic. You may not be able to prevent infection, but the tests will likely reveal if you have been infected—and the sooner you start treatment to cure the disease or ease symptoms, the better.
You can also take emergency contraception, known as the morning-after pill. The most common morning-after pills are tablets containing high doses of levonorgestrel, a synthetic progestin hormone that is also in birth control pills. Brand names include Next Choice One Dose, My Way, and Plan B One-Step .
Emergency contraception is available over the counter and can reduce the risk of pregnancy by 75-89% if taken within 72 hours of sex. It's most effective when taken right away; taking it within 24 hours is encouraged. Many women's health organizations recommend purchasing it before you need it, so you have it on hand if you ever do. You can buy it at a pharmacy in person or online; you can also get it at a women's health center.
Oral emergency contraception is safe to take, but side effects may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, and menstrual changes. If you experience severe abdominal pain, seek medication attention. If your period is more than a week late after taking Plan B or another morning-after pill, you might be pregnant and should get tested.
Finally, you might also decide to get a copper T IUD, which can serve as emergency contraception after having unprotected (or condomless) sex—per the CDC . The IUD would need to be placed inside the uterus within five days after the condom break or slip in order to be most effective. You'll want to talk with your healthcare provider to see if this option might be right for you.
Once the immediate crisis is over, put some thought into why the condom broke. "These accidents don't happen easily," Perry N. Halkitis, PhD , a psychologist specializing in HIV at New York University, told Health . "Are you using condoms correctly? Are you using the right kind of lube? Are the condoms old or expired? It's important to identify the problem so you can avoid an accident in the future."
The CDC additionally recommended only using latex or polyurethane condoms (no natural condoms), keeping condoms away from extreme heat, and not using oil-based lubricants or reusing condoms. These things would help keep condoms from tearing and lessen the chance for condom breakage.
Overall, it's best to be prepared as possible before, during, and after using condoms to lower your worries about a potential incident with a broken condom.
