Do condoms work underwater?
Question: My boyfriend and I were wondering if using a condom under water (say in a pool or ocean) can break it down. Is a condom just as effective underwater?
Answer: Yes. Condoms do not break down in bath water, hot tub water, pool water or ocean water. You may have trouble slipping the condom on, particularly in ocean surf, but as long as the condom fully covers the penis and stays on, the water itself does not diminish its effectiveness.
