Safer Sex - FAQs
Male & female condoms
If you use a male condom and a female condom at the same time, what will happen?
It is not recommended to use two condoms at once, whether it is two male condoms (one on top of the other) – also known as "double bagging" or using one male and one female condom at the same time. There is a high chance that the condoms will break if someone is using two condoms at once during sex because of all of the friction. We do not recommend using two condoms at once – using one condom every time you have sex is enough to protect you and your partner against most sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and/or pregnancy.
