How to use a condom
Make sure the packet appears to be in good condition and has been kept at normal room temperatures, away from direct heat and sunlight. Do not use a condom if the package is damaged. A condom carried around in a pocket or wallet, may be damaged, because the body heat and friction can damage latex (rubber). Check the expiry date and safety marks on the back of the packet.
Squeeze the condom to one side of the packet before tearing it open to prevent tearing through the condom
Open packet at one corner, being careful not to stretch or tear the condom... sharp fingernails, jewellery including studs and rings (from genital and tongue piercings) or rough handling can also damage condoms.
Push the condom out of the packet onto the palm of your hand. Inspect the condom for any signs of damage.
Do not use the condom if it looks discoloured, brittle or in any way unusual.
Check that the condom will roll down the penis the right way round.
Only ever use a condom once.
Never unroll a condom before putting it on.
Squeeze the tip of the rolled condom to get rid of any air - this leaves space for semen to come out of the penis at high pressure, and avoids bursting the condom on ejaculation.
Put on a condom before any sexual contact because sperm and infection can be exchanged even without penetration.
Always unroll the condom onto an erect (hard) penis and unroll the condom fully to base of penis if possible. If you try to put a condom on a soft penis it can get damaged and twisted, and weakened.
After intercourse, withdraw the penis carefully, holding onto the condom at the base of the penis keeping ejaculate ("cum") inside of the condom of the condom to prevent contents from spilling.
Tie the end of a used condom. Condoms are not biodegradable, so do not flush them down the toilet. Wrap in tissue and dispose of safely.
Types of condom One size doesn“t always fit all. So there are now many different sizes and shapes of condoms. Some condoms are flavoured for oral sex, some have ridges for increased sensation, some are extra strong for anal intercourse, some tighter, some looser fitting, some have a local anaesthetic to prevent premature ejaculation.
Extra information
Use condoms on sex toys to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STIs).
Putting a small amount of water-based lubricant inside the tip of a condom may increase the sensitivity and lessen the chance of breakage.
Use only water-based lubricants with latex. NOT Vaseline and other oil-based products like body lotions and massage oils, as oil based lubes can damage latex.
The following are products you should NEVER use with a condom. It only takes 50-60 seconds of exposure to these products for the condom to go from 99% effectiveness to 20%.
Mineral oil (can be found in lotions, hand creams, make-up, some medical creams ointments for skin conditions) Baby Oil Petroleum Jelly (e.g Vaseline) Vegetable Oil
So wash your hands to remove all lotion or massage oil before putting on a condom.
Advantages of condoms Condoms are an inexpensive and effective method of birth control.
Recent guidance suggests that spermicides should be used with caution with condoms. Although spermicides can make condoms more effective in preventing pregnancy when used consistently, spermicides may cause irritation which then creates an environment where infection may spread. So whereas spermicides can be used freely by couples who do not carry risks of infection (e.g. have been tested recently and/or are monogamous) spermicides are no longer routinely recommended with condoms.
Condoms offer men a direct way to share the responsibility of contraception. They can greatly reduce the chance of transmitting HIV during sexual activity. When used without spermicide they help prevent the spread of STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and some genital warts. Condoms are easily available in a wide variety of places They have no harmful side effects. And, they can help promote open and honest communication between sexual partners.
Storage Stored properly, condoms last for 3-5 years from manufacture.
What causes condoms to burst, tear or split?
Although condoms do not appear to tear easily, you would be surprised on how easily they do when in contact with certain chemicals.
Other reasons for weak condoms are: Passed expiry date Unrolling the condom before using. Attempting to use the same condom more than once. Attempting to continue intercourse with same condom after ejaculation. Leaving the condom package exposed to sunlight, heat, unwrapped, or in wallet where it can be stretched and bent over time.
