1. Forgetting to Check for Damages

Forgetting to Check for Damages Make sure you check the condom before you use it. If there's even a super small tear in it, then it isn't going to be effective.

2. Doubling up

Two isn't better than one. If you pile multiple condoms on top of each other, you're only going to increase the friction, and increase the chances of them both breaking.

3. Buying the Wrong Size

Buying the Wrong Size There are different sized condoms for a reason. You don't want to give your man one that is too small or too big. It needs to be just right.

4. Forgetting about Oral

Forgetting about Oral You can still get an STD during oral sex. That's why it's important to always use condoms, even when you're not planning on having vaginal sex.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

5. Using the Wrong Lube

Using the Wrong Lube Oil based lube is dangerous to use with condoms. You need to buy lube that's meant to be used with latex.

6. Storing Them Improperly

Don't keep condoms in a packed wallet. If you do, then they'll get damaged easily.

7. Not Using One at All

Not Using One at All If you're sexually active, you need to carry condoms around. Otherwise, you're either going to end up with an STD or a baby.

Do you always use condoms?

Sex is cleaner with a packaged weiner.

You can't unroll a condom before you use it. You'd have to put it on and notice something. If the package is super damaged though it's best not to use it. Also another important thing to mention is that condoms do expire. Make sure it's still good before you use it.

You should always keep one on you at all times, at least I think so.

I always have "fresh" condoms in my purse....unprotected sex is no sex, honey...and shouldn't it be the guy's responsibility to have 'em in the first place? Am I supposed to know what size he wears? Or bring S, M, L & XL with ME? He's gotta take some responsibility!

@jennapher it's up to both partners. If you have a long term relationship and have never brought the condoms, you need to step up.
