- Use a new condom for every act of vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Do not unroll the condom before placing it on the penis.
- Put the condom on after the penis is erect and before any contact is made between the penis and any part of the partner's body.
- If the condom does not have a reservoir top, pinch the tip enough to
leave a half inch space for semen to collect. Always make sure to
eliminate any air in the tip to help keep the condom from breaking.
- Holding the condom rim (and pinching a half-inch space if
necessary), place the condom on the top of the penis. If you have a
foreskin, roll it back before putting the condom on. If you are also
using water-based lubricant, you can put more on the outside of the
condom.
- If you feel the condom break, stop immediately, withdraw, and put on a new condom.
- After ejaculation and before the penis gets soft, grip the rim of the condom and carefully withdraw.
- To remove the condom, gently pull it off the penis, being careful that semen doesn't spill out.
- Wrap the condom in a tissue and throw it in the trash where others
won't handle it. (Don't flush condoms down the toilet because they
may cause sewer problems). Afterwards, wash your hands with soap and water.
