The material used to make condoms can weaken over time, so don't use one that has expired. Condoms may rip during use if they don't fit properly or if they are not put on correctly (such as not leaving enough room at the tip of the condom).

Even if you're already using a different kind of birth control to avoid pregnancy, it's a good idea to also use condoms or internal condoms every time you have sex to protect yourself from STDs.
Put on a new condom every single time you have sex. Use a condom when you have vaginal, oral, or anal sex. Put on a different condom for each type of sex you have. Keep the condom on the whole time you're having sex.
Condoms do more than reduce the risk of STIs, they can help prevent pregnancy too. So if you decide you want to ditch condoms but don't want to get pregnant, you should use another birth control method. Talking with your healthcare provider can help you determine which method works best for your body and lifestyle.
