How many times has it happened that the condom breaks midway or it keeps tearing whenever you begin using it?! There are several reasons why this happens, dear users. So follow these 6 tips and make sure that the condom doesn't break.
Make sure when you store your condoms, you store them in a cool and dark place. Do not keep them anywhere that gets direct sunlight. Refrain from storing them in very cold spaces as well as that can dry up the rubber and make it brittle.
Do not use vaseline, coconut oil or lotion as your lubricant. All oil based lubes can lead to microtears in latex condoms.
Layering your clothes in winter makes sense but layering your condoms during sex is a blunder! Condoms are designed to be used one at a time, performing on their own. It will in fact damage one of the layers during the friction.
Practice wearing a condom before you have to really perform. Why? Because there is a right way to wear it! First check for any damage, then hold the rim gently in one hand and using your thumb and forefinger, pinch the tip and then roll the condom down. In case you are using an internal condom, remeber it is only for the vagina or fr anal sex. To use that, remove the ring inside and push it in with your finger.
No, a condom alone cannot and is not comfortable. If you do not use a lube, it will firstly tear and secondly, the receiver might even feel uncomfortable.
Buy a condom which fits you and not because it is cheap! Size of the condom matters a lot. If it is too small, it is bound to break so what is the point? It should be of a snug fitting and you should be able to move freely.

If a condom is used correctly, it shouldn't snap, no matter how active your sack session is. Rubber rupture can result from the following: storing your condoms in a hot place, like a glove compartment; using one that is past its expiration date; accidentally ripping it with your teeth or fingernails while opening the wrapper; and using the same condom more than once.
You're right to be leaving space at the top to collect his little swimmers. If you don't, you're actually creating a balloon that is bound to pop. The trick to leaving enough room: Pinch the tip of the condom between two fingers with one hand as you place it on the head of his penis, and continue holding on to it as you roll the rubber down over his shaft with your other hand. Lack of lubrication is another common culprit. Add a water-based lube to the outside of the condom whenever you experience down-there dryness. And remember, any food, lotion, or product that's oil-based will cause latex to wear thin and eventually go kaput.
It's also possible that your condoms are not the right match for your man's member. Most are made to fit guys who are within the average range when erect (about four to seven inches). If the type you usually use does not cover his entire shaft, or if he complains that it feels too snug, try prophylactics specifically made for well-endowed men.
By taking all the previous precautions, your condoms should stop breaking. But, if it does happen again, be sure to stop and put on a new one before you get back to getting it on. And, since this situation can put you both at risk for STDs (unless you and your guy are monogamous and have already tested negative for all diseases), visit your health-care provider for a thorough screening.

When having sex, you always take precaution . You use a condom , you're on the pill , you know your partner's sexual history. But then, mid-intercourse, the condom breaks, and suddenly, it seems like all that prep doesn't even matter because with one thrust, with one snap of the latex, your risk of pregnancy or an STI just got a whole lot higher.
Don't worry, condom breakage is common, and there are ways to prevent it, as well as things to do after the fact to help keep your chances of pregnancy or contracting an STI low. I talked to Natasha Bhuyan, MD and family physician at One Medical, and she gave me all the tips on how to correctly use a condom so as to prevent them from breaking, as well as the steps to take if one does in fact break. So, stay calm and read on. It's going to be OK.
Condoms aren't perfect ( they aren't even 100% effective ), so yes, sometimes they break. According to Dr. Bhuyan, it's usually due to friction, which is an issue because sex is like...80% friction when you think about it. Obviously, there's nothing you can do about that, but the situation could be made worse if you aren't using the right lubrication, or if there isn't a sufficient amount of lube.
"Sometimes, it actually just happens by chance," Dr. Bhuyan says, and there really isn't much you can do about that. There are steps you can take, however, to reduce your risk of breakage.
There are some things to avoid if you want to lower the risk of your condom breaking. Here are Dr. Bhuyan's tips:
Yup, condoms expire, so make sure you are checking the date before you use it. The expiration date is usually printed on the packaging so make a pattern of checking for it every time.
You have to worry about how you're storing your condoms too. "Make sure that they're stored in a room temperature environment," Dr. Bhuyan says. That means don't keep an emergency condom in your car because the heat will pretty much render it useless, and keeping them in a really cold place won't work either.
You've probably heard this before, but I'm going to reiterate it. Don't wear two condoms—it won't provide twice the coverage. In actuality, "that friction [between two layered condoms] can increase the risk of breakage," Dr. Bhuyan says. So you'll end up doing more harm than good.
"Do not use oil based lubrication," warns Dr. Bhuyan. "People will use Vaseline as a cheaper method of lubrication, but it can actually wear down the condom." You can also run into issues if you aren't using enough lubrication. Try something water-based and be liberal with the use of it.
If you feel it during intercourse, you should stop, but sometimes it's much harder to tell.
"It depends on the person and the context of the intercourse ," Dr. Bhuyan. "So, if some people are having anal intercourse, it can be hard to tell for the person on the receptive end." The same is with vaginal intercourse, while the person wearing the condom may feel it, the receiver might not. And it's possible that neither partner will realize that the condom broke until after intercourse, post-ejaculation. Of course, at that point, you're possibly already at a higher risk of pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections . So then it's important to take steps to reduce your risks.
"Don't be worried," Dr. Bhuyan says. She recommends going to your primary care physician to figure out your risk of pregnancy or STIs.
"If you're a gay man who is having receptive anal intercourse, you might be at a high risk of getting HIV," a fact backed up by HIV.gov , which estimates that 26,000 of new HIV infections per year affect gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. If you fall into that category, you may be a good candidate for starting medications to prevent the virus. If you're a female having heterosexual sex with someone who was recently tested, you are probably at a lower risk for the virus, but you have other things to think about. Consider getting tested for STIs like chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhea.
As far as preventing an unwanted pregnancy, there are emergency contraceptives like Plan B and ella, as well as a copper IUD, which is effective up to five days after intercourse. These are all options that your physician can discuss with you , so if you are unsure what to do after a condom breaks, go talk to your doctor and they will be able to help you out depending on your situation.
Most importantly, "I don't want people to be living in fear and I want them to know that you can be empowered to control your own sexual health," Dr. Bhuyan says. "So, if a condom does break and you're not sure what to do, don't be worried because doctors are here to support you."
