19 Condom Mistakes You Might Be Making

Again, it’s really really important to try out different condoms to find one that’s best for you. If the condom doesn’t roll all the way down to the base of the penis or if it just seems too tight, it probably is. Condoms actually very rarely break, so if it’s happened to you a few times, you probably need a larger size or more lube, says Herbenick. If the condom seems too roomy or it slips or slides when you’re having sex, look for a smaller size. And keep in mind that you might be one size in one brand and another size in another brand — just like jeans, sex educator Elle Chase tells BuzzFeed Life.
