Holes in condoms?

Unread post by emily20 »

This might be a stupid question, but I've read on the internet that condoms can have microscopic holes in then that allow sperm to pass through but you aren't able to notice it. Is this true?

Hi Emily,

Nope, that's not true :) . I think you might want to keep this article around when you run into info like that:

So if the condom had failed, it would be noticeable right?

Correct--you'd be able to tell if a condom failed.
