10 Surprising Reasons For Condom Failure

 

#1 Breaks During Sex

Aggressive sex can cause a condom to break. Even the most resilient condom can get the smallest tear, which can cause an exchange of bodily fluids.

 

#2 Expiration Date Has Passed

Pay attention to the expiration date. No using that condom that’s been in your pocket since high school.

 

#3 Was Damaged In Manufacturing

Some condoms are damaged during manufacturing and you may not even notice. That’s the chance you take.

 

#4 Gets A Tear While Putting It On

Condoms can get small tears when putting them on, especially if your girlfriend puts them on with long nails.

 

#5 Condom Was Left On Too Long After Sex

Remove the condom shortly after you catch your breath from sex. Wait until you’ve shriveled up and the contents of the condom will leak out.

 

#6 Was Used More Than Once

Use a new condom each time you ejaculate. Never reuse.

 

#7 Was Damaged Between Manufacturing And Purchase

Sometimes condoms can become punctured or damaged from manufacturing, shipping, and delivery to the store you bought them in, even getting damaged in the store itself.

 

#8 It’s Too Big

A condom that is too big will not create a tight enough seal to hold the contents inside.

 

#9 Used With Oil Based Lubricant

Oil based lube with a condom is a big no no.

 

#10 It’s Too Small

A condom that is too tight will most likely tear and leak.
