Does wearing two condoms offer more protection than one?
When you wear two condoms, they tend to shift against each other. This creates friction, which increases the chance that they will break. This does not happen if you only wear one; wearing two condoms at a time weakens the material and increases the chance that the condoms might break. Unless the first one was defective in some way. My understanding is also that you would be able to feel basically nothing so might not be able to maintain your erection for the duration of sex. So, double-bagging actually increases the condom breakage risk. Buy good quality condoms and wear them one at a time instead.

Two condoms don’t give “double” the protection. In fact, they offer lesser protection than just one condom. That’s because during sex, using two condoms together can cause friction between them which results in the weakening of the material, which increases the chance of both the condoms breaking! You don’t want that, as that can lead to STDs and unwanted pregnancies. Plus, you also tend to feel less pleasure, and sometimes even nothing. This can severely reduce your passion and will to continue sex. One condom is enough every time you have sex. I’m sure you must have heard the phrase ‘the less is more’.
