Awesome—you’re using a condom! That’s a great start. But even with the best intentions, sometimes things don’t go quite as planned. Luckily, most common issues are easily fixed with a few quick adjustments. Let’s take a look at some of the most common condom-related problems and how you can solve them.

Common Condom Issues & Solutions

• The Penis Isn’t Hard Enough
  If the penis isn’t fully erect, the condom won’t sit properly and may slip off due to the lack of resistance. For a condom to work as intended, the penis needs to be firm enough to provide sufficient back pressure during unrolling. Once hard, the condom will slide on easily.
• Putting It on the Wrong Way
  Put the condom on inside out? It happens to the best of us! Regular condoms can be tricky, but Wingman condoms make it a breeze: just ensure the logo on the wings is facing up like a “W.” If you’ve already tried putting it on the wrong way, it’s important to use a new condom. Even a tiny bit of pre-cum on the outside could lead to unwanted pregnancy or an STD.
• The Condom Is Too Big
  If the condom feels loose or baggy, it might be too big for your size. While you might still be able to unroll it, it won’t provide the snug fit needed for safety and could slip off during sex. Want to find your perfect fit? Check out our condom size guide here.
• The Condom Is Too Small
  If the condom is too tight, you’ll feel resistance when putting it on, and it might even tear. A snug fit is good, but too tight means trouble. Take a look at our size guide to see what works best for you.
• Wings Not Staying in Place
  Wingman’s unique wings make application easy, but if you don’t press down both wings during application, the condom can slip off the wings too early. To keep things smooth, always hold down both wings—whether you’re using one hand or two.
• Condom Gets Stuck While Unrolling
  Sometimes, the condom’s ring can get stuck under the head of the penis before it rolls down over the rest of the shaft. This happens more with regular condoms, but if it does happen, just gently stretch the condom a bit with your fingers to lift it over the head. Need an extra hand for this? Don’t worry, we get it! A slightly larger or more flexible condom might also do the trick. Experiment with different brands until you find one that’s the perfect fit.
