Though this may be true, it is important to know that this may come with extra risks, defeating the purpose for which the condom was made.

People believe that using double condoms at the same time is a way to extend the duration of intercourse.
Why you shouldn't use two at a time

Using two condoms at the same time, also known as double-bagging, is not advisable for these reasons:
1. Friction and increased risk of breakage: Using two condoms can create extra friction between them during sexual activity. This increased friction may lead to more stress on the condoms, making them more likely to tear or break.
Condoms are designed to be effective on their own, and using two increases the risk of compromising their structural integrity.

2. Reduced sensation and pleasure: Using two condoms may reduce the sensitivity experienced during sexual activity. The double layer of latex or polyurethane can act as a barrier, diminishing the pleasurable sensations for both partners.
Reduced sensation may lead to a decrease in sexual pleasure and may make individuals less likely to consistently use condoms, increasing the risk of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
3. Increased heat and moisture: Wearing two condoms can create a pocket of trapped heat and moisture between them. This warm and moist environment may facilitate the growth of bacteria and increase the likelihood of condom breakage.
Condoms are most effective when used according to the manufacturer's instructions, which typically include guidelines for proper storage and usage.
Use condoms correctly by following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

This includes checking the expiration date, using a single condom at a time, and using a water-based lubricant to reduce friction.
