What you can do when condom gets too comfy in your ‘vjay’

It happens. In the heat of passion, everything seems perfect, you whisper sweet words of how she had taken you to an eldorado, and how much she had asked that you dig and swim in her sweet honey pot, until you realise the condom is missing. Your partner checks, you check, and after a moment of shared confusion, it dawns on you: the condom is stuck in your vagina. Panic sets in. Is it dangerous? Will it come out on its own? Do you need a doctor? Calm down. See how you can take care of it without much stress.

Why it happened

Condoms get stuck for a few reasons. A condom that is too loose is more likely to slip off during intercourse. Choosing the right size is essential. If a condom frequently slips off, it’s a sign that a better fit is needed. Another common cause is not holding the base of the condom while withdrawing after sex. When the penis softens, a condom can easily slide off. Ensuring the condom is removed while still firm and gripping the base during withdrawal reduces the chances of it staying behind.

If you prefer that the lady’s honey pot will actually have to produce ‘honey’ literally, then there are high chances of the condom slipping because it needs lubrication to hold it up. Friction makes the condom more likely to break or slide off. Water-based or silicone-based lubricants can make sex smoother and reduce the chances of mishaps. So if after doing all of these and it the protection still gets stuck, see what to do.

Don’t panic

First, take a deep breath. A condom getting stuck in your honey pot is not uncommon, and it’s not life-threatening. The Vjay is not an endless tunnel leading to unknown parts of the body. It has a definite end at the cervix. The condom cannot travel beyond that point or get “lost” inside you. However, it should be removed as soon as possible to avoid complications and infections.

Remove it

If you feel comfortable, you can attempt to remove the condom at home. Start by washing your hands with soap and water. This is crucial to avoid introducing bacteria into your sweet, slimy little thing. Find a comfortable position—squatting, sitting on the toilet, or lying on your back with knees bent can help. Relax your muscles. The more tense you are, the harder it will be to remove the condom.

Gently insert two fingers into your vagina and feel around. The condom is likely not too far from the vaginal opening. If you locate it, use a hooking motion with your fingers to slowly pull it out. If it has rolled up or is positioned further inside, pushing with your pelvic muscles—like you would when having a bowel movement—might help shift it downward. You can also try bearing down while gently pulling it out.

If you can’t reach the condom after several attempts, or if you experience pain, discomfort, or bleeding, stop trying yourself and seek medical help. A healthcare professional can safely and quickly remove it. There’s no shame in this—doctors have seen it all, really. So no need to be ashamed. Their primary concern is your health.

Dangers when you leave it for long

Leaving a condom inside the vagina for too long can lead to complications. It creates a warm, moist environment that can encourage bacterial growth, increasing the risk of bacterial vaginosis (BV) or even a urinary tract infection (UTI). It can also cause irritation, leading to an unpleasant odor or unusual discharge. In rare cases, prolonged retention of a condom could lead to toxic shock syndrome (TSS), a serious but uncommon bacterial infection. If you experience fever, dizziness, or flu-like symptoms after being unable to remove the condom for several hours, seek immediate medical attention.

What you can do after removal

Once the condom is out, observe any changes in your body over the next few days. If you notice itching, an unusual odor, increased discharge, or any discomfort, visit a healthcare provider to check for infections. If you’re worried about pregnancy, take a test about two weeks after the incident or visit a doctor for further advice.
