Default ultra thin condoms?

All the STD sites I look at say use condoms obviously but I can't seem to find much on whether ultra thin condoms are as safe as regular ones?

ultra thin condoms tend to break more easily in rough sex than normal ones do. if you use them, you've gotta be carefull about how hard you're fucking. normal ones are shitty too, but better than ultra thin for protection. if you dont really care about protection, but you want the feeling, go with ultra thin... or without. just be careful.

Actually, ultra thin condoms should give you the same amount of protection than regular condoms as long as you use them properly. All the condoms are tested with the same standards and all of them have to pass the same test regardless if they are thinner or not.

One of the most important parts to prevent condoms from breaking is to use lube. The more the better, and remember to apply it more than once if necessary.

Most of the safer sex guidelines say that ultra-thin or ultra-sensation condoms aren't recommended for anal sex. There's no real evidence that says that they're more likely to break however if you ask the average person whether they feel safer having anal sex with a normal condom or an ultra-thin condom, most people will tell you they would feel safer with a normal-thickness condom.
