Condoms are currently the most widely used contraceptive method. They have a high success rate and are quick and easy to use, so they are very popular. During sex, a condom breaking is a very frightening thing. You should find the reason quickly and take emergency contraceptive measures. What are the reasons why condoms break? Let’s find out next.

What are the causes of condom breakage?

1. The quality of condoms is too poor

If condoms of poor quality are purchased from irregular places, they may break during use. The condom itself is relatively thin. If the movement is too intense, or if you accidentally scratch it with your fingernail, it will easily break if the quality is not good. Therefore, when purchasing a complete set, you must go to a regular supermarket or drugstore to buy condoms from big brands with good reputations.

2. The condom is too thin

After all, wearing a condom is separated by a layer, so many men will feel uncomfortable and unable to experience the pleasure of sexual life. Therefore, when choosing a condom, you can choose how thin it is. Therefore, manufacturers have launched ultra-thin condoms. of condoms. However, condoms that are too thin also have certain risks. They will be less malleable and more likely to be scratched by sharp objects.

3. Wrong selection of lubricating oil

Experiments have proven that if a condom comes into contact with mineral oil, its strength can be reduced by 90% in just one minute. This problem generally does not occur when purchasing lubricants, and the lubricants on the market specifically for sex are not mineral oils. What I'm afraid of is that many people use other items instead of lubricants, such as Vaseline or hair growth oil, etc. These items will affect the strength of the condom, and there is about an 80% chance that the condom will break. So when buying lubricants, be sure to buy lubricants specifically designed for human sex, and don’t just use any oil instead.

4. The wrong way to use condoms

The correct way to use a condom is to first discharge the air from the top, then place the condom above the male glans and slowly wear it down. When some people use condoms, they will carefully check the condoms to see if there are any holes before wearing them. Some people blow it first to see if there is any air leakage. These methods will destroy the ductility of the condom and increase the probability of condom breakage. When wearing condoms, be sure to wear them correctly and do not reuse them to avoid condom breakage.

Condom breakage is not only very disappointing, but also brings the risk of unwanted pregnancy. Emergency contraceptive measures must be taken to prevent unwanted pregnancy. When wearing a condom, be sure to wear it correctly to eliminate factors that may cause the condom to break and make sex safer.
