Sometimes, condom fail to give the protection they are worn for – mostly due to the fault of the user. Most often than not, it is as a result of improper use (wearing) of the cond0m and , like people has severally said, a condom is 98% effective if used well and 0% effective if wrongly used.
It can be terrifying sometimes to find that the cond0m you are wearing is broken and your s1xual safety has been compromised, with possible pregnancy and/or s1xually transmitted diseases (STDs).
Have you ever had a cond0m break on you? It’s terrifying. The good news is that it is avoidable in the future, as long as you learned why it happened.
Condom bursting, tearing, breaking, ripping can because by a number of things:
1.Expired/wrongly stored – an expired condom or one that was stored in extreme temperatures, left in wallets and places where pressure is applied to it. It weakens and might tear
2.Air bubble in the cond0m – if you allow air bubble to remain when wearing the cond0m, you might have a pressure point that will lead to a tear when thrusting
3.Too tight – if the condom is too tight, it could tear during s1x
4.Not lubricated – the condom’s material became dry and hot because not enough additional lubricant was added;
5.Oil-based lube – if you use improvised oil-based lubricant like Vaseline or other petroleum jelly, you could weaken the cond0m leading to a leak/tear
6.Wrongly opened – if you opened cond0m with your teeth, scissors, or a knife you can compromise the integrity and rip it. when you attempt s1x, it is likely to tear further
7.Hairy vag1nal/P3nis area – during s1x involving hairy pubic region, there is the possibility that hair strands are pushed in and the continuous friction can tear the condom
8.Newly shaved vag1na – hair on a newly shaved vag1na is prickly and sharp. It can tear the condom at the slightest contact
9.Lack of space at the tip of a cond0m – when wearing a cond0m, you need to leave a little space at the tip. If this is not done, it could tear, especially during ejaculat1on
