I think it was one of those cheap ones they are always giving away free at school.

I had a trojan break one time. We had been going at it all day and she was dry so it snapped.


(Mod: If that was "too far" then please delete it)

durex broke on me back in my sophomore year of high school, scared the sh1t outta me.

I've had no less than 4 durex's do that with me...I switched to XXL Magnums and I'm all set now.

Kinda hard for something to tear when it slides right off.

Once. Trojan. Was a problem of lubrication however. Having some extra around would have prevented it.

I always hated condoms so much that I never kept one on long enough for it to break.

this is such a scientific study, we may as well be talking about hard drives that have failed, condoms like hard drives will eventually fail, best thing you can do is make sure she is on the pill and use a condom.

Haven't had any break. But have had a few come off and get left in. Scariest few weeks of my life :(

just be glad that emergency contraception is available after a long and protracted fight, assuming your pharmacist doesn't refuse to sell it. All brands have the possibility for breakage.

I had a Trojan break once, but in all fairness to the condom maker, it was on it's third usage.

Magnum XXXL-GT 2900XTX?

Actually, it was a Lifestyles. After that I just started using about 3 8"x8" layers of Saran Wrap.

That's pretty common. After all once you pop not only did you just lube the inside of the condom, you aren't as engorged. Especially if you rest a moment before withdrawl.

Every "ultra-thin" "extra pleasure" condom I've used has broken on me. They're the ones with thinner latex and just don't hold up.

The regular thickness ones have always been fine.
