A member asked:
How noticeable is a tear in a condom?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Condom: Depends upon the size of the tear and how assiduously you are looking for it. Tears that leak visible semen should be easily detected. If you are overly concerned and not certain about the results of your exam and it is not too late, Plan B is acceptable.

Noticeable: Semen dripping from the tear in the condom is usually noticeable. Back up birth control with condoms is a good idea.
