2 condoms is a bad idea, you increase the risk of breakage so you are reducing your protection, not raising it.

You may have had profane language.

Yes, single condoms sometimes break, but the risk is much higher when you use two at the same time. So don't do it.

well, I seriously don't get it. What's wrong in using two condoms. Even if one of them breaks you have an extra condom? Or how about using three?

I'm really confused how can using more than one condom be more harmful, please do explain this.

No, you DON'T get it.

Using two condoms increases the risk of them BOTH breaking simultaneously due to increased friction. They rub against each other and snap, you're exposed.

If you use two condoms, your risk of total breakage and exposure to disease is FAR higher than your risk when you use ONE condom the RIGHT way.
