Why do condoms fail 2?

If you or your partner are allergic to certain types of lubricants, condoms may not work properly for you. Condoms also don’t work if they are used incorrectly. In order to be effective, the penis must be covered by the condom before it becomes engorged with blood and erect.

Condoms are not 100% effective. Condoms fail to prevent pregnancy because they sometimes break during sex. Condom failures can happen for a number of reasons, including: poor condom use, breakage, or tearing when wearing them; using a condom that is too small for your partner’s penis; and not lubricating condoms. Condoms can also break if a penis has an infection (such as HIV or genital herpes). If you think your condom broke, don’t panic.
