Well I buy regular size condoms, trojans are the brand but the last couple of times I had sex with my girlfriend it broke both those times. The first time, I was pretty worried but then the second time, same thing happened. What does this mean? Do I need a bigger size or a smaller size for it not to break? And for those of you who may think it was the lemon package. The two condoms weren't from the same package, both of them were from separate purchases.

Put a tad on the head, put on the condom, then put a tad on the head and around the rim/sides again.

I think that I would try a different brand. I use LifeStyles
Ultra Sensitive and have Never had one break.

Also, you may try putting a little lubricant on the inside and outside of the condom to keep it from breaking.

Just a smidge on the inside or you will roll the tootsie roll! Pull out every so often and slap on your fav. lube on the outside. FYI The best stuff is always behind the counter at sex shops. Somebody swiped my favorite stuff. It was called Purjur or something like that. It came in a black bottle and cost a bundle. Came highly reccommended by a counter guy who plays for the other team. He's probably married in SF by now....lol.....

I have really had a great experiance with the female condom, but again lube its the key inside the condom for a real feeling

Stay away from baby oil as a lube ... the oil can break down the latex.

We all know that oil breaks down latex - so we don't use baby oil or vaseline as lube.  But many things contain oils, without us thinking about it, and they will compromise the strength of the condom.

Body lotion, lipstick, lipgloss, suntan lotion, even soap (if you haven't rinsed off thoroughly after a shower), to name just a few.  Make sure none of these come in contact with the condom, or nearby body parts at any time.  If they do, switch the condom before continuing on.

And definately heed the advice of all the other posters.  Use plenty of water based lube!

Pjur Eros, it was used on me the other night.  Its alright, KY Silky is about equivalent, doesn't cost as much.

Gosh, I am sorry. I just called my fav sex shop called "Drakes" in West Hollywood on Santa Monica Blvd. (This is L.A.) Its open 24/7.
Its called EROS, black bottle retails from $10-$150 depending on amount in tube. Their ph# is 310-289-8932, no website.  I put one tiny, less than one drop on inside of condom, and a little more on outside. Unlike other lubes you don't really have to reapply. Its really great stuff. Have fun!
