&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Condom Leakage -&amp;nbsp;How to Tell If a Condom Broke?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;When discussing condoms, one common concern is the risk of leakage. If you&#39;re already using condoms, you&#39;re likely aware of the risk of STIs. However, in reality, condom leakage is less likely to occur than you might think. Condoms are considered medical devices, subject to rigorous quality control by manufacturers and regulatory authorities. Leakage is usually the result of improper storage, such as keeping condoms in a hot place, under direct sunlight, or using sharp objects to open the package.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Can I Tell If the Condom is Leaking?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Before Use: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Condoms have a small pouch at the top. When you squeeze the pouch, it should return to its original shape when released. If the pouch doesn&amp;rsquo;t return to its shape, it might indicate that the condom has a leak. You should also squeeze the pouch while putting on the condom to release any trapped air. Doing so can help reduce the chances of the condom breaking, as air bubbles can make the condom more fragile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;After Use: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;You can check for leaks by filling the used condom with water after sexual activity. If no water leaks out, the condom is likely intact, meaning you&#39;re safe. Here are a few tips to ensure you&amp;rsquo;re using condoms effectively:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Choose the right size:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; Condoms that are too tight or too loose can increase the risk of failure, either by breaking or slipping off. Tight condoms are also uncomfortable and more prone to leakage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Check expiration dates:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; Always discard expired condoms, as they can deteriorate and become less effective, increasing the risk of leaks and breakage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be careful when opening the package:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; Avoid using sharp objects or your nails, which can puncture the condom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Put on the condom when fully erect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; This reduces the chance of the condom slipping off during intercourse. Putting it on while fully erect can help prevent this issue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Squeeze the pouch before sex:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; While rolling the condom down to the base of your penis, squeeze the pouch to remove any trapped air. This can help prevent bursting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Remove the condom carefully after sex:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; Do this before your penis becomes soft. Point the tip downward to avoid spills, and slowly pull the condom off from the base. Dispose of it by wrapping it in tissue and placing it in a garbage can. You should see semen in the reservoir tip; if not, there could be a leak. Check by filling the condom with water. If water leaks out, there might be a tear or puncture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Proper condom use helps protect against unwanted pregnancy, HIV infection, and other STIs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Common Reasons for Condom Leakage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;If your condoms frequently fail, there might be underlying reasons, either related to how you handle them or the condom itself:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Incorrect size:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; Some men use condoms that are too small, leaving no room for semen after ejaculation. Choose the right size to avoid this issue. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/measure-penis-condom&quot;&gt;Here is how you can choose the right size of condom.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Expired condoms:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; Older condoms may not work effectively, making them more prone to breaking. It&amp;rsquo;s best to throw them away, as new condoms are far cheaper than dealing with potential consequences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Improper storage:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; Condoms should be kept away from heat and sunlight, as these conditions can affect their effectiveness. Avoid storing condoms in your car or wallet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Small tears:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; These can be too small to notice but can still cause the condom to break. Tears usually occur when opening the wrapper with teeth or touching the condom with nails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oil-based lube:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; Oil-based lubricants can weaken condoms, making them more likely to break. Avoid using baby oil, oil-based lube, or vegetable oil with condoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Not enough lube:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; Insufficient lubrication can cause excessive friction and breakage. Consider using water-based or silicone-based lube, especially during anal sex, to reduce friction and make the experience more comfortable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Things to Keep in Mind When Using Condoms&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Choose the right size&amp;mdash;neither too big nor too small.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Be careful when opening the wrapper. Avoid using scissors or teeth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Handle the condom gently, avoiding contact with nails.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Inspect the condom before use. If you notice any tears, discard it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Do not use expired condoms; always check the label before use.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Use the condom only once; never reuse it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Use only one condom at a time; using more than one can cause friction and breakage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Store condoms away from sunlight and heat, as these conditions can dry out and deteriorate the latex.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Do not use lotion, oil, or oil-based lube with condoms; stick to water-based or silicone-based lubricants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Avoid storing condoms in your wallet, as sitting on them or bending them can wear them out, increasing the risk of breakage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;If a condom breaks during sex, stop immediately and put on a new one. &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://eu-health.org/condom-broke-get-emergency-pep-in-bangkok&quot;&gt;Here are things you should if your condom broke&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; while having sex, or you notice the condom is leaking after sex.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
