Condoms keep breaking

Hi...I'm really confused here...because I know that condoms break every once in awhile..but my partner and I are having a breakage rate of 100%! Every single time we have sex with a condom it breaks...One night we went through 4 condoms!!
What is the deal? I even checked the box...(trojans with spermicidal lubricant by the way) to see if the date was old...and it wasn't...So i thought that maybe it was just a bad box..but the next box I bought did the same thing..I'm perplexed..Any advice?

I would reccomend trying a different brand of condoms.

Try a different brand, and make sure they are fitting right. If they are too tight (read instructions), etc, they will break.

Don't underestimate the value of a lubricant--condoms can break because of excess friction, and if you use a little bit of a water-based lubricant on the outside of the condom, that might help things.


There is also a company that makes custom-fit condoms, if fit seems to be a problem--TheyFit condoms are available for order from a variety of online merchants.
