Do condoms work underwater?

There are a lot inquiry everyday of do condoms work in the shower? or in the water? Condoms are effective underwater (e.g., in a pool, shower, or bath) if used correctly. No matter latex condom or polyurethane condom, both are safe to use, However, it still has some risks as following:

• Water can reduce natural lubrication, increasing friction and the risk of breakage.
• Ensure a secure fit to prevent slippage, as water might make surfaces more slippery.
• Avoid oil-based lubes (harmful to latex) and opt for water- or silicone-based lubricants.

Key Tips for Safe Use in Water:

• Check expiration dates and packaging integrity.
• Apply lubricant (water- or silicone-based) to reduce friction. Make sure it’s enough lube in it.
• Avoid oil-based products (lotions, petroleum jelly) with latex condoms.
• Practice proper disposal to protect plumbing and ecosystems.

Condoms remain effective barriers against pregnancy and STIs in water when used correctly. Always follow guidelines from trusted sources like the CDC or Planned Parenthood. As a latex condom producer, we don’t recommend you use condom under water, this will increase the fail rate, but you still can if want it.
