Feeling if a condom leaks can be challenging during intercourse. To ensure safety, always check the condom for visible tears or leaks before and after use. Post-intercourse, fill the condom with water or air to detect holes. Using lubricants can reduce the risk of breakage and make it easier to spot any leaks. If a leak is suspected, consider immediate use of emergency contraception and consult a healthcare provider for further guidance.
