"They" say showering right afterward helps wash off any germs. Don't know if it's true, but it certainly doesn't hurt or cause an unrealistic sense of security.

Making sure we're good and wet and that you're hard and dry prevents the condom from breaking or slipping off getting shoved up inside. If a gent knows he has a tendency to get soft, he should keep checking to make sure the condom didn't slip off and get shoved inside. And, if a lady knows she has a tendency to get dry, she should make sure she lubes up.

I've heard Magnum Thins break the easiest out of all the popular brands, but I'm not sure if that's true.
