You might think about double wrapping it.

Are you worried about sexually transmitted diseases or about pregnancy, because I'm sure the rates for the two are different.
Pregnancy:
Even though the chances of a condom breaking or being faulty are tiny, a large number of women will still get pregnant even though their partnet uses a condom. Figures are quoted of 3% of women being pregnant after a year of normal sex when the condom is used correctly. Since condom misuse is common, a figure of 14% being pregnant after a year is also quoted for people who don't use them correctly (for example, withdrawing without holding the condom).
Hope this helps. I don't have any figures for protection from STD.

Totally depends on If its not Old, past its sell by date (yes they do have 1!!) and also if it dosent fit you proprly theres much more chance of it splitting or just coming off inside the girl!! also if its not put on properly, Some lubes also eat away at the condom so they will split (Depending on what lube) AND JONATHAN (WHO ANSWERED THIS QUESTION ^^UP THERE^^ U CAN STILL GET AN STD OR GET A GIRL PREGNENT EVEVN WHEN "PULLING OUT"..THERE IS SUCH THING AS PRE-***, AND YOU DONT ACTUALLY HAVE TO HAVE VIGINAL INTERCOURSE TO CATCH AN STD)

It all depends on how long you have the condom, condoms is more fragile if they age and the tend to break when the are stored in your wallet.
Keep them out of the sun or extreme heat (like in the car) and it will be safe

Just always pull out and calm down on the one night stands. You might **** with a girl with a STD and your condom breaks. That will suck.

just last week 2 of my good friends had a condom break.. apparently, if the guy isn't well lubricated and she doesn't stay wet very long.. the condom isn't going to stay together too long..
i vote for lubrication!

if your problem is falling pregnant go on the pill. or do they make spermacide in your country? they dont here. spermacide is this stuff you spray in you that kills sperm. i dont know how affective it is though but the pill is 99% accurate if you take it properly

It's lower than that but correct fit is everything. See http://www.condomexpress.com for fit range and selection.
