I'm not sure if this issue is already addressed on this forum, I know there are a lot of threads on condoms, but, after hearing and reading faulty stuff about "a condom being too small and breaking", I feel that I need to bring some condom awareness to the people.
A condom does not break because it is too small. In fact it is the opposite. When your condom is not fitting thight, some folds may come into it during sex. These folds are what makes a condom tear. I tried finding the article (it was from BBC) about it. I only found this somewhat related article about condoms in India.
If you think about it, you can fill a condom whit about two litres of water (guestimated), you can throw it up and catch it, without breaking. Condoms are though! So if you are wearing magnums and can't figure out why they break regularly, you probably have to go down a size.

Doctor Chander Puri, a specialist in reproductive health at the Indian Council of Medical Research, told the BBC there was an obvious need in India for custom-made condoms, as most of those currently on sale are too large.
The issue is serious because about one in every five times a condom is used in India it either falls off or tears, an extremely high failure rate.
