How often do condoms break?
It's random and happens for a variety of reasons, ranging from being put on wrong or poor manufacturing to dry friction or just plain bad luck.
From my own personal experience, and take this as a warning...
I've had defective condoms break very early during sex and I've had condoms break at the point when the most pressure is on them, which is the moment of climax, the worst time for them to break. [ Brendan's advice column | Ask Brendan A Question ]

Condoms break not that often. It depends how old it is and if you 2 are being rough with each other. But it breaking is very rare so there's nothing you can worry about. Just make sure the guy keeps it ON.
And the answer to your last question yes it can come later than it normally would. Many of my friends have their periods about a week later or two and then they become really stressed out if they think they're pregnant or not. [ miranda_love's advice column | Ask miranda_love A Question ]

When used correctly, condoms rarely break. Correct use means the condom is within its use-by date, that you are careful of nails and jewellery and that you put it on according to the instructions. If used absolutely correctly, approximately 3 in 100 women will fall pregnant. If used incorrectly, this rises to around 14 in 100.
Sex does not delay your period. Unless you're pregnant, then it'll delay it for 9 months or so. However, stress can. If you're worrying about your period coming then it can delay it.
Basically, if you're having sex you should ALWAYS use protection unless you intend to conceive. Regardless of your choice of contraception, you should also use a condom when sleeping with a new partner to avoid catching an STI. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
