Not using a condom during every sexual encounter
Not using one at the start, but putting it on partway through
Improper handling when changing or reapplying the condom
The condom only can be effective when used correctly from the beginning of sexual activity until the very end.
Incorrect Use

Putting it on inside out and then flipping it over to continue use
Failing to unroll the condom fully to the base
Not leaving adequate space at the tip
Failing to squeeze the air out of the tip when putting it on
