Have you ever thought about if you are using the right size condom? The correct size of a condom is very important if you are hoping it will protect you against STD’s. If the condom you are wearing is too small it could break break, leading to unwanted exposure. If the condom is too large it could slip off, also possibly leading to unwanted exposure. If either of these happened, you could be at a greater risk of contracting an STD.

A condom being too large is the more likely scenario, because condoms are usually very stretchy. To find the best fit for you, and prevent the possible contraction of an STD, a little experimentation may be in order. Try them on and see if they fit before they are used. It may waste a little money now, but won’t you be happier down the road knowing it has helped keep you STD free!

The best way to not get and STD is to stay abstinent. If that isn’t an option make sure that the condom you are using fits, and always practice safe sex.
