DO's:
- DO use only latex or polyurethane (plastic) condoms.
- DO keep condoms in a cool, dry place.
- DO put the condom on an erect (hard) penis before there is any contact with a partner's genitals.
- Do use plent of water-based lubricant with latex condoms. This reduces friction and helps prevent the condom from tearing.
- DO
squeeze the air out of the tip of the condom when rolling it over the
erect penis. This allows room for the semen (cum).
- DO hold the condom in place at the base of the penis before withdrawing (pulling out) after sex.
- DO throw the condom away after it's been used.
DON'Ts:
- DON'T use out of
date condoms. Check the expiration date carefully. Old
condoms can dry, become brittle, and weaken. They can break more
easily.
- DON'T unroll the condom before putting it on the erect penis.
- DON'T leave condoms in hot places like your wallet or in your car.
- DON'T use
oil-based products, like baby oil or cooking oils, hand lotion or
petroleum jelly (like Vaseline) as lubricants with latex condoms.
The oil quickly weakens latex and can cause condoms to break.
- DON'T use your
fingernails or teeth when opening a condom wrapper. It's very
easy to tear the condom inside. If you do tear a condom while
opening the wrapper, throw that condom away and get a new one.
- DON'T reuse a condom. Always use a new condom for each kind of sex you have.
- DON't regularly
use lubricants with spermicide called nonoxynol-9 ("N-9") as they may
cause skin irritation or tiny abrasions that make the genital skin more
susceptible to STDs.
