How Do you if condom break?

Experts,

This is general knowledge question. Do we know easily when the condom break during sex? do we have to perform some tests after using them to make sure if they are intact. I try to google to find a picture of broken condom but i couldn't find any. i will really appreciate your advise / thoughts on it.

Hi, condoms are made very thin and hence it acts like another layer of artificial skin. Its protective structure of closing end makes the penis feel it is encapsulated in a covering. When penetration occurs, the force makes you feel that your penis is encapsulated as the skin becomes more sensitive due to the gush of blood flow in the veins. Hence, when condom ruptures, its torn and the thrust following that exposes the penis freely without encapsulation. All this is naturally felt by the person who wears the condom. Basic checks you can do after you finishing the act is,

1) Check any tears while rolling down the condom.
2) Never pull the condom  harshly when its still on the unflacid penis as a tear caused due to this will generate unwanted anxiety.

I hope this helps.

I agree with Vance and the others. When a condom fails it fails big time. You will notice so there is no need to do water tests etc.

As per my research ,

Condoms if they fail burst wide open, so little holes are not possible.
You don't have anything to worry about.

Someone correct me if i am wrong!
