How to use a condom
|
Latex condoms are the only form of protection that is effective for preventing pregnancy, HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections. When used correctly every time you have sex, latex condoms help prevent pregnancy and reduce the risk of catching or spreading many sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Learn how to use a condom effectively before using condoms. Failure to do so may result in losing the benefits that condoms provide. Be aware that during intimate contact various body fluids can transmit STDs so use a condom every time before any such contact occurs to protect yourself and your partner. We believe that personal awareness, communication and access to safer sex information are the keys to the sexual health. |

Handle with care. Store at room temperature in a dark, dry place. Avoid excessive heat. Check the expiration date on the package. Do not use expired condoms. Do not open condom packages with scissors or teeth. Do not use condoms that are brittle or sticky. Use a new condom for every new act of intercourse. Never reuse condoms.
Roll on. If the penis is not circumcised, put the foreskin back before putting the condom on. Pinch the receptable tip of the condom between your thumb and forefinger. This prevents air from becoming trapped at the tip of the condom and leaves an empty space to collect semen. Place the rolled-up condom against the end of the hard penis. Unroll the condom down the base of the penis with your other hand. Remove any air remaining in the tip of the condom by gently pressing the air out towards the base of the penis.
Intercourse. If the condom breaks during use, stop immediately and pull out. Do not continue until you put on a new condom and apply more lubricant.
Dispose properly. Wrap the used condom in tissue and throw it in the trash so others won`t handle it. DO NOT FLUSH CONDOMS DOWN THE TOILET.

Prepare. Remove the condom from the package, and apply a small amount of lubricant to the inside tip. Using additional lubricant will reduce the risk of your condom breaking during use. Never use oil-based lubricants like Vaseline, mineral oil, vegetable oil or massage oil. These will weaken latex condom and cause them to be more likely to leak or break. Only use silicone-based or water-based lubricants.
Apply lubricant. Using additional lubricant will reduce the risk of your condom breaking during use. Apply to the outside of the condom.
Hold on tight. Immediately after ejaculation, hold on to the base of the condom tightly and pull out while the penis is still hard. This will keep the condom from slipping off and keep any fluids from being spilled..
Wash up. Wash hands with soap and water. For added protection from disease, wash genitals with soap and water.

REMEMBER:
These instructions must be followed before ANY contact is made between the penis and any part of your partner's body, because pre-ejaculatory fluids, saliva, urine, lesions and feces can contain sexually transmitted disease (STD) organisms.
