Are Ultra Thin Condoms Likely To Break?

Question

Are ultra thin condoms (namely from Trojan) more likely to break than other condoms? Or are they just as strong as the rest?

Answer 1

In my experience, they are somewhat likely to break (although I used Durex). It did not happen often, but it only takes once, right?

Answer 2

In a recent study by Consumer Reports, Durex Extra Sensitive was actually ranked the highest in safety and protection. In addition to the relative thinness or thickness of the latex, a lot has to do with the quality of the latex used, and most importantly, that the person puts the condom on correctly. Most condom breakage has to do with the person putting the condom on correctly as opposed to the condom being too thin or cheap, etc.

So with that said, the most important thing to do is to make sure you are putting the condom on correctly and carefully, and use a brand-name condom you can trust. When you do that, thin condoms will be fine. But if you can use a thicker condom without any loss of sensation, I would say do that just for peace of mind.

Answer 3

I believe they are just as good as every other one. I use all ultra thin or ultra sensitive. They are as good as the others, and also have the same possibility of breaking as the others...

Answer 4

I have heard from several people that they do break easier than regular condoms, although I have never used them myself. I always used the regular thickness condoms.

Answer 5

I wouldn't trust em...I would stick with regular stuff. There are other factors to figure in also, like moisture or use of lubrication which I think reduces the chance of tearing of the condom.

Answer 6

mutually as the exhilaration element is bigger they do have much less plastic so that they are going to technically snap extra easily. basically take it a sprint extra sluggish while you're employing them rather of standard ones ;)

Answer 7

That's what I used when I got pregnant. (it broke)
