How To Use A Condom

  1. Hold the tip of the condom to squeeze out the air. This leaves some room for the semen when you ejaculate.

  2. While holding the tip of the condom, unroll it onto your erect penis.

  3. Continue to unroll the condom until it covers the entire base of your penis.

  4. Put the condom on before ANY sexual contact with your partner.

  5. You can use water-based lubricants. However, avoid oil-based lubricants.

  6. After ejaculation, hold onto the base of the condom and remove your penis while it is still erect.

  7. Use a new latex condom every time you have sex. Use a condom only once and then throw it away.

  8. Used the right way, condoms offer protection against unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

  9. Store condoms in a cool and dry environment.

  10. All latex condoms sold in the U.S. meet the same standards for strength and quality.

  11. Condoms made from "natural" materials such as Lambskin DO NOT protect against disease.
