Why can I still get pregnant even though I wear a condom?

With the popularization of condoms and the change in people's attitude towards sex, people are no longer afraid to talk about sex, and have begun to consciously use safe and effective contraceptive methods such as condoms to have a safe sex life. Condoms can generally prevent pregnancy almost completely, but if the condom is of poor quality and breaks during sexual intercourse, it will cause contraceptive failure and lead to an unwanted pregnancy.

1. Accidental rupture during sexual intercourse: for example, the intercourse is too vigorous, or the ultra-thin condom is accidentally scratched by fingernails or rings.

2. The condom model is not suitable. Condoms that are too large or too small can easily fall off inside the vagina or rupture during sexual intercourse, allowing semen to flow into the vagina.

3. Not checking the condom carefully before use, resulting in using a condom with leaks.

4. The air in the small bag at the front of the condom is not squeezed out before putting it on, so the pressure in the bag increases after ejaculation, causing the condom to rupture and semen to flow out.

5. After ejaculation, before the penis softens, the condom and the penis are not pulled out of the vagina in time. After the penis softens, the semen overflows from between the penis and the condom into the vagina.

6. Some people are afraid that condoms will affect their sexiness, so they do not wear condoms at the beginning of sexual intercourse. They only put on condoms when they are about to ejaculate before pulling out the penis. This will not have any contraceptive effect. Because before ejaculation, a small amount of sperm has flowed into the vagina along with the urethral mucus. Sometimes, even if you don't want to ejaculate before the penis is pulled out of the vagina, a small amount of semen will be ejaculated unknowingly, resulting in contraceptive failure.

7. Improper use of lubricants: It has been observed that if mineral oil and vegetable oil such as Vaseline, ordinary lotion, etc. are applied on the surface of the condom, the strength of the latex condom will be weakened within 5 minutes.

8. Improper storage: Condoms will lose their strength if exposed to strong light, high heat, humidity and ozone.

Therefore, choose a condom of the right model, check it carefully before use, master the correct method of use, and if you find that the condom is broken or falls off in the vagina during use, you should stop sexual intercourse, remove the condom from the vagina, and then replace it with a smaller condom to continue sexual intercourse. If the condom falls off during or after ejaculation, remove the condom from the vagina immediately to avoid contraceptive failure.

For couples who use condoms for contraception during sex, it is best to prepare one or two contraceptives in advance to prevent themselves from being helpless and at a loss if the condom breaks or slips. If they are really forced to take contraceptives, they will have to go to the hospital for examination afterwards to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. Therefore, both men and women should be cautious during sex.
