Issues with condoms...?

You're right- a visual inspection of a condom is usually not enough to ensure it hasn't been compromised, unless it's a significantly large enough hole or tear.

Condoms do not come damaged, however- any damage they sustain is going to be after packaging- during shipping or by the folks who purchase it. That's why you are recommended to do a pillow test, where you gently squeeze the closed package to be sure that there is a pocket of air in it, to show you that it hasn't been punctured. If the packet has been punctured, there is risk to the condom, and you should throw it away; if it hasn't been punctured, then you can assume the condom inside is okay (remembering, of course, to still check to make sure it isn't dry, grainy, stiff, brittle, sticky, or discolored when you take it out.

Hope that helps!

First of all good on you for trying to be safe.

Now in any case you should really understand that multiple methods of birth control could even all fall through. Condoms are the best "bang for your buck" if you will. just because any condom has no noticeable holes does not mean that they will fall through. also understand that if the holes are that small then a hole will be barley any threat. do not be any means put on two, but if you are worried the best thing you can do is combine condoms with an other method such as spermicidal lube or birth control pills or an other form. Also make sure you are putting the condom on correctly.

Try blowing them up like a ballon and feel air escaping for holes

U can go to YouTube to see how condom facrories made their condom. I think they tested before they sell it to you.
