Yes, it's somewhat normal for condoms to slip a little, especially with prolonged sex or if the size isn't quite right, but significant slippage or rolling up (bunching) often indicates improper fit (too big), incorrect application (air trapped), or lack of lubrication, all of which increase risk for pregnancy/STIs and should be addressed by adjusting size, technique, or lubrication. While studies show occasional slippage (around 4-7%), consistent slipping means you should check your technique and condom size for a better, safer fit.

How to test if condoms have holes?

To check for holes in a condom before use, inspect the wrapper for tears and feel for an air bubble inside by gently squeezing it; if you feel air and the package is intact, it's a good sign.
