A member asked:
How often does a condom fail and would a man feel if it had split or broke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 vs 15%: Studies show condoms are effective 98% of the time when used perfectly. Because people do not use them perfectly the real effectiveness rate is about 85%. A man might or may not feel a condom break. It is best to use a backup birth control method as well.
