Maybe you have a really tight vag. If so, congratulations.

Once I figured out how to use the damn things, like by age 20, not a single break. DW and I used this for many many years before my vasectomy.

What?? I have condoms break all the time. It's just me and DH?? Wtf?

Sometimes it will rupture near the bottom or the top- I think it's often a sign of it being old or improperly stored in those cases. I've had one break audibly, but the other couple of times it was silent.
Definitely wasn't a frequent occurrence.

If your vagina has teeth maybe it rips when it's being pulled out

Wouldn't it make more sense for it to happen on penetration

A condom sliding off? WTF if this person hopes to get married i hope they are very wealthy

I'm not PP, but my dorm had condoms in the vending machines, in addition to boxes in the RA's room. Tufts in the early 90's.

Stuff breaks. But yes, pinching the tip is important. Making sure it is within date and stored properly is important. Knowing nothing is perfect and anything can break is important.

Where did you go to college? Just curious. I can't imagine our RA having a dorm supply of condoms, but I graduated in the dark ages.

Easy to break if you don't pinch the tip...

I used to break them all the time as a teenager before I realized I needed the XL.

#humblebrag (but it's true)

This has never happened to me and I'm curious. My DH and I use them now because I've been to lazy to see the OBGYN. I know it happens, but I just don't see how.
