If there is a single-use object that should not let go of us at the wrong time, it is him. But the resistance of some condoms would not be sufficient to ensure total protection during sexual intercourse. According to a survey by the magazine 60 Millions de consommateurs, which tested 18 different models of condoms, the solidity of certain brands leaves something to be desired.
Breaks, tears and holes
For its investigation, the editorial team looked at 18 models present on the market and which all meet the European “CE” label. The condoms were all branded and had different thicknesses and materials. Of the entire panel, four did not withstand the burst or break tests, and one of them even had a hole.
Package marketing can also confuse consumers, since some condoms considered ultra-thin are actually the same thickness as others. Thus, condoms praised for their finesse and the natural sensations they provide, would not be strong enough according to the magazine.
What if the condom breaks?
Some solutions exist to limit the risk of tearing a condom and avoid a sexually transmitted infection. First, you must check the expiry date of the product, because an expired condom becomes porous, and therefore less protective. The best is always to have nearby valid condoms, to avoid any inconvenience. Similarly, putting a condom on another condom with the aim of doubling it and increasing the chances of being protected is counterproductive, since the friction between the two increases the risk of tearing.
