thank you both for the answer.
however i cant remember the brand.

maybe you guys could help:
i was drunk but i remember that the lower part was covered. Is there any chance that there was a rupture only on the top side?

Thnk you again

Think of a condom kind of like a latex glove or a balloon. Sturdy, but once theres a tear in there it usually tears very easily and you can see it.

I suppose its possible that it could rip or tear and you not notice it but if you used a reputable brand (Durex, Trojan) and you used it properly it's over 95% effective.

there are different possibilities for how a condom can fail, though usually it would be noticeable...
