Condoms and anxiety
Most of the times, when you are having intercourse while trying to avoid pregnancy at the same time, you’d feel very anxious and nervous even when you are using the most successful contraceptive known to mankind against pregnancy and STDs/STIs.
Just when you were sure about protection and went on to some session of lovemaking with your partner... POP! Goes the condom; you meet with a condom burst or a condom leak - a mild burst, causing you a mini heart attack.
When a condom breaks, it just stirs up your emotions, creating fears of unwanted pregnancy. Also, it could be a rare case, the thought of getting affected with STDs /STIs such as AIDS isn’t a digestible fact either.
Condom Accidents
Condom breaks and accidents are actually very common. Although the correct usage of a perfect condom has a success rate of 98%, it only has an 88% success rate when it is not used right or if it not a perfect condom. So, what is a perfect condom?
1. Ensure that the condom you have bought is from a well known top condom brand of India.
2. Ensure the expiry isn’t crossed yet. Condoms that are past their date of expiry break easily. While you buy condoms in India always check for the date of manufacturing and date of expiry to avoid condom breakage.
3. Check for any damages on the box. If the box is broken or the seal appears to have tampered, it is not advisable to use it.
4. The size of the condom is also important. Wear a condom that actually fits you. Men need to know some sizes well or, let’s say- their sizes well! A bad fit either makes a condom to slip or break. A man needs to study his man parts both when aroused and not, to have an idea of his sizes. This will help in choosing a condom of the right fit. Condom size charts are very helpful for this.
5. Storing. How a condom is stored is also a very important thing to be noted when it comes to the safety of a condom. It should be stored in a dry and a cool place, away from sunlight.
You may be worried where you can find all the above in a condom. You certainly can't expect from a local pharmaceutical store. That’s why you should buy condoms online from shycart in India. Shycart is where you can get all the top brands of condoms, stored in perfect condition, delivered to your doorstep in safe and discreet packing.
So, despite the success rate, the broken condom issue can happen to anyone and at any point in time. A condom that is worn incorrectly slips off during intercourse. Passion only comes second to safety. So, programming the mind to be extra careful even when offered the most tantalizing moment would be useful.
Don't React. Respond.
When a condom breaks, don't go into panic mode and start reacting. Keep your calm mind intact and start thinking about what to do next. Respond.
What you should do when a condom breaks is,
1. Break off. Stop having intercourse and slowly separate your genitalia from one another.
2. Dude – you should carefully remove the condom and look for the broken piece if there is any.
3. Girl – go to the toilet and start pushing all the semen from your genitalia, without touching/washing. The best way to do is, squatting down and squeezing with your vaginal muscles. When you use your hands and wash, it is possible that you might push any of the semen inside yourself.
4. Once you are sure that you have pushed all the semen out of your body, gently cleanse your genitalia by mildly splashing them with water, without any force.
Then, it is advisable to check for any STDs/STIs including HIV, immediately. In the unlikely case, you have caught any, the treatments turn out most effective when you start early. Apart from this, the woman can take a high dose birth control pill, after checking with your doctor, to wave off fears of pregnancy. This has to be done within 72 hours from the condom accident. If you fail to do so, then chances are that you might get pregnant. Always buy pregnancy test kit online and use to confirm in such cases or consult a doctor if the test result turns out to be positive.
