Does condom size affect contraception?

Patient's question:

Does the size of a condom interfere with contraception?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, condom size can affect contraceptive effectiveness. If the condom is too large, it may slip off, leading to semen leakage. Semen leakage can disrupt contraceptive effectiveness and result in the possibility of pregnancy. It is essential to choose the right condom size to effectively prevent leakage and avoid it slipping off mid-act.
When using condoms for sexual activity, check for any potential gaps before putting it on. If there are gaps, do not use the condom.
