STDs and Safer Sex

Someone asked us: What should I do if a condom breaks? And what does a broken condom look like?
Condom accidents can look like a few different things. You may see a rip or tear in the condom after pulling out, or when you take it off your penis . You might not always see a big rip, but if you notice semen (cum) leaking out, the condom is probably broken. Sometimes the condom totally breaks and bunches up around the base of your penis, like a ring. And a condom can also come off inside the vagina during or after sex — if there’s no condom on your penis when you pull out, it’s the same as if the condom broke. To help avoid this, always pull out of the vagina while your penis is still hard , and hold onto the base of the condom when you pull out.
It can be stressful if your condom breaks or slips off, but luckily there’s still something you can do to prevent pregnancy: Emergency contraception (like the morning-after pill) can help prevent pregnancy AFTER unprotected sex or a condom mistake. But it’s important to act fast — you only have 5 days after unprotected sex for emergency contraception to work, and some kinds of emergency contraception work better the sooner you take them. Learn more about emergency contraception .
It’s also a good idea for you and your partner to get tested for STDs a few weeks after the condom broke. When a condom breaks, you can come into contact with sexual fluids that can spread STDs. And most of the time, STDs don’t show any symptoms. So testing is the only way to know for sure whether you have one. If you have sex, it’s a good idea to get tested regularly for STDs anyway — and after a condom breaks is a really good time for your next test.
Most of the time, condoms don’t break, and they work well to prevent pregnancy and STDs. And using condoms the right way can help keep them from breaking. But accidents happen and it’s a good idea to have a plan ready in case you make a condom mistake. Your local Planned Parenthood health center can help you get both emergency contraception and STD testing, and answer any questions you might have.

It may be difficult to tell whether a condom has broken while you are engaging in sexual activity. In some instances, you might be able to feel a slight popping sensation during sex when a condom has broken. If you don't physically feel something but nonetheless suspect that something went amiss, you can inspect the condom afterward. It's important to ensure the integrity of your condom to protect you and your partner from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and unplanned pregnancy.
Condoms come in three main sizes: snug, standard and larger 1 . Since condom size can be important to avoiding breakage, if your or your partner's penis size falls above or below the average of five to seven inches with a four and a half to five inch circumference, then you may need to try either the larger or snug sized condoms.
Stop engaging in sexual activity immediately if you feel a popping sensation. Inspect the condom closely for any tears or holes.
Hold the condom up near a light source to help make any points of damage more evident. Holes and rips can be very small and difficult to see, so light will help in spotting them.
Fill the condom with water, if no holes are visible and your partner did not ejaculate. Check for any signs of leaking. If your partner did ejaculate, examine the condom closely for any signs of leaking semen.
Damage to condoms can occur if you open the package with scissors or any other sharp object, so carefully open the package to avoid accidentally puncturing any of the condoms.

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
