| How To Put On A Condom
Put
the condom on after the penis becomes erect. Optional: put
a few drops of water-based lubricant inside the tip of the
condom. Squeeze the tip of the condom to leave some extra
space and carefully unroll the rim of the condom along the
shaft of the penis. If the penis has a foreskin, put the condom
on with the foreskin pushed back. Once the shaft is covered,
push the foreskin forward (toward the tip). This lets the
foreskin move without breaking the condom. Optional: put more
water-based lubricant on the outside of the condom. After
ejaculation, hold the base of the condom, pull out, and pull
the condom off. Throw the condom away; don't reuse condoms.
Use a new condom every time you have sex.
What To DO If A Condom Breaks First,
do not panic. Stop sexual activity immediately. Pull the penis
out as soon as possible and do not resume sexual activity
until another condom is put on. If semen has leaked out, wash
the semen away with soap and water. If semen leaks into the
vagina during a woman’s fertile period, ask a reproductive
health clinician for information about emergency contraception.
Condom Tips
- Use a condom every time you have
intercourse.
- NEVER use a condom more than once.
- Do not open the package containing
the condom until it is to be used.
- Don't store condoms in a glove compartment
or your wallet.
- Always store the condom package
in a cool, dry place.
- Carrying it in a wallet may weaken
the condom because of body heat, etc.
- Don't open them with your teeth.
- Do not use oil-based lubricants,
such as petroleum jelly, vegetable/mineral oils or cold
cream, as these may damage the latex condom.
- Don't use them after the expiration
date.
- Do not pull the condom tightly against
the tip of the penis, instead be sure to leave about 1/2
inch of space at the tip of the condom for the semen to
collect in.
- Check the base of the condom periodically
during sex to make sure it is still on the penis. Withdraw
while the penis is still erect.
- Do not allow the penis or condom
to contact the sexual partner after withdrawal.
