My boyfriend and I have tried several different kinds of condoms and have had all of them break...not everytime but at least one out of every box breaks! Its not a big deal..I am on the pill we are just using condoms for back up but it makes me wonder. I asked him if it was something he was doing and he says no...whats the deal? Are they really that unrelieable? Anyone else had this problem?

Are you using an oil-based lubricant? That will quickly break down the rubber and cause breakage. Use a condom-safe lubricant if that's the case. Other than that... I don't know... Never had that problem. Maybe you guys need to take it a little easier... LOL. Is he HUGE??? Get the Magnums then!!!
Condoms are supposed to be over 99% effective, and have been 100% effective for me... knock on wood... LOL

Honey, if everybody in America who was here cos the condom broke were to suddenly disappear - there would be a whole lot less of us running around!!!! They are not reliable. Since you are on the Pill, why all the concern about back-up? Instead of condom, could you use the sponge? How about ky with spermicide? that way you are covered & don't have to worry about the rubber breaking anymore. I've never known anyone who broke so many - if he's thrusting that hard it's a wonder your parts are still in the right place. Either way, it sounds as if 100% of the responsibility for birth control is on you. good luck.

We use condoms in the same way and I do not have problems with condoms breaking. On a rare occasion does one break and it is due to us not using any lube when she is dry.
Some things you need to consider, the condoms you purchased are old (they have an expire date), have been exposed to high heat, he has them in his pocket or wallet, you are using a oil based lube or other flavored sex jelly that are not condom friendly. You could also be putting them on incorrectly. Do you leave a space at the top or are you wrapping the thing so tight?
Maybe his johnson is so big and you are using too small of a condom. They make small, medium, and large. Are you buying the right size? Magnum makes a bigger condom. But my guess is that you are using them incorrectly, thus you have so many break.

I didn't had this problem, but I heard and I read that condoms might break. But usually they don't break.

You maybe putting them on wrong. You also may want to try lube, I don't know if it's drying out or not. Try Magnums if he is big.

I think the only reason they would break is because there isn't enough lubrication. Try using some KY.
