Fact Check: 2 Wearing a Condom Offers No Protection
It is absolutely false to believe that using two condoms will protect against unwanted pregnancy. The friction caused by two condoms rubbing together can weaken the material and make them more likely to break: using two condoms can actually make you less protected than using just one. Here are some tips for preventing STDs.
It is safe to wear a condom
Using condoms during sex can help prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and pregnancy. But using two condoms will not give you additional protection. In fact, you shouldn’t use more than one condom at a time. In reality, two condoms give you less protection than one. For what? They can rub against each other, making the material weaker and more likely to break. When a condom breaks, there is a higher risk of STDs and unplanned pregnancy.

It is important to use a condom every time you have vaginal, anal or oral sex. Wear it before having sex and keep it on all the time. But condoms are not the most reliable way to prevent pregnancy. Use another form of contraception, such as birth control pills. The only way to completely avoid pregnancy and STDs is to not have sex.
