Although a controlled clinical trial of condom use found that breakage was concentrated among a minority of users, many factors are known to affect condom performance, including the use of oil- or water-based lubricants, condom brand and age, storage conditions and marital status
  • Rosenberg , M.J. and Waugh , M.S. 1997 . 'Latex Condom Breakage and Slippage in a Controlled Clinic Trial' . 56 ( 1 ) : 17 – 21 . In the KwaZulu-Natal focus groups it was found that the complaints about breakage were often not based on personal experience although this is not surprising given that the methodology specifically tries to tap into 'attitudes' and to go beyond individuals' experiences
