Condoms Breaking?

Question

What are the main reasons that condoms break. Do you know when they are broken?

Answer 1

Main reasons would probably be that it is not a good brand or not properly applied.

I am sure you would feel something if one was to break.

Answer 2

Bad quality, expiry date is past, smaller size used than required for the man, too much of friction during the act, no or poor lubrication of the passage, accidental minute tear during the process of insertion due to one's finger nails or other small sharp skin part, are some of the reasons.
It is difficult to make out the tear unless the woman is conscious of the escape of the fluid thru the condom.

Answer 3

Using a lubricant that isn't water-based can lead to condom breakage, as some lubricants can actually interact with the components of latex to break down the latex, resulting in breakage.

BUY a good-quality water-based lubricant such as KY, which is safe to use with condoms. Don't EVER use oil-based stuff (vaseline, cooking oil, etc) with a condom. Not only can it cause the condom to break, it can also set you up with a NASTY infection down there, and you do not want that.

Answer 4

The main reason they break is friction.....You have to make sure things are slippery down there, know what I mean? Also if you're constantly changing positions you can rip them...this is also due to friction....
also, sometimes you feel it when a condom breaks, sometimes you dont.... If you're totally into the sex, you won't feel it....

Answer 5

Age can be a factor (age of the condom that is) or how vigorous the sex is, how long ya'll are having sex. There are many things. You'll know when he pulls out and his penis is showing out the end of the condom. Or if it comes off it doesn't matter if it's broken or not.

Answer 6

2 main reasons................

1. They are too old.
2. Using vasoline as a lubricant instead of a water based lubricant like KY Jelly will weaken them.

Size doesn't matter. You can fit most condoms over your arm all the way up to your elbow.

Answer 7

Various reasons they break.
They might fit too snug and break..
Different types of condoms have different skins on them.
A girl might not know when it breaks but a man might.

Good question.

Answer 8

i don't know exactly when they break, but some common reasons are not putting them on correctly or using the wrong size. they also expire, so using them after the expiration date could do that as well, or leaving it in a hot place like a car.

Answer 9

I'm glad you are using a condom just remember they are not FOOL proof. You can get the big P if you are not VERY careful.

Answer 10

some lubrication could solve the problem there are several good ones available over the counter hope i have been of help.
