How to prevent a condom from breaking
How many times has it happened that the condom breaks midway or it keeps tearing whenever you begin using it?! There are several reasons why this happens, dear users. So follow these 6 tips and make sure that the condom doesn't break.
Don’t expose the condoms to extreme temperatures
Make sure when you store your condoms, you store them in a cool and dark place. Do not keep them anywhere that gets direct sunlight. Refrain from storing them in very cold spaces as well as that can dry up the rubber and make it brittle.
Don’t use oil based lubricants
Do not use vaseline, coconut oil or lotion as your lubricant. All oil based lubes can lead to microtears in latex condoms.
Never use 2 condoms together
Layering your clothes in winter makes sense but layering your condoms during sex is a blunder! Condoms are designed to be used one at a time, performing on their own. It will in fact damage one of the layers during the friction.
Wear it correctly
Practice wearing a condom before you have to really perform. Why? Because there is a right way to wear it! First check for any damage, then hold the rim gently in one hand and using your thumb and forefinger, pinch the tip and then roll the condom down. In case you are using an internal condom, remeber it is only for the vagina or fr anal sex. To use that, remove the ring inside and push it in with your finger.
Use a lube
No, a condom alone cannot and is not comfortable. If you do not use a lube, it will firstly tear and secondly, the receiver might even feel uncomfortable.
Find the correct size
Buy a condom which fits you and not because it is cheap! Size of the condom matters a lot. If it is too small, it is bound to break so what is the point? It should be of a snug fitting and you should be able to move freely.
