Condoms are currently the most widely used contraceptive method. It has a high success rate and is easy to use, making it very popular. Breaking a condom during sexual intercourse is a very frightening thing. To quickly identify the cause and take emergency contraceptive measures, what are the reasons for condom rupture? Next, let's take a look together.
What are the reasons for condom breakage?
1. The quality of condoms is too poor
If you purchase condoms of poor quality in an irregular place. During use, there may be breakage, and the condom itself is relatively thin. If the action is too intense or the nail is accidentally scratched, the quality is poor and it is easy to crack. Therefore, when purchasing a complete set, everyone must go to a legitimate supermarket or pharmacy to purchase it. Choose a large brand and reputable condom.
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. So when choosing a condom, choose as thin as possible. Manufacturers have also introduced ultra-thin condoms as a result, but overly thin condoms also pose certain risks. It has poorer ductility and is more prone to being scratched by sharp objects.
3. Incorrect selection of lubricating oil
Experiments have shown that if a condom comes into contact with mineral oil, its strength can be reduced by 90% in just one minute, and purchasing lubricating oil generally does not cause this problem. The lubricants specifically used for sex in the market are not mineral oils, but the fear is that many people use other items instead of lubricants, such as Vaseline or hair oil, which can affect the strength of condoms. There is an approximately 80% chance of a condom rupture incident, so when purchasing lubricants, it is important to purchase lubricants specifically for human sexual activity and not use any oil as a substitute.
4. The method of using condoms is incorrect
The correct way to use a condom is to first remove the air from the top. Then place the condom above the male glans and slowly wear it down. Some people will carefully inspect the condom before using it. Check if there are any holes, then wear them again, and some people blow them first to see if there is any air leakage. These methods can damage the stretchability of condoms. This increases the probability of condom breakage, and it is important to wear condoms correctly when wearing them. Also, do not reuse it to avoid condom breakage.
