Use of a male condom

Apply the condom on an erect penis before sexual contact to assist in the prevention of sexually transmitted infection and pregnancy.

1. Open the package; handle carefully to avoid damaging the condom.

2. A water-based lubricant may be used inside the condom or on the penis, to avoid irritation or to avoid tearing the condom.

3. Press the air out of the tip, leaving enough space to hold the semen (about one centimetre).

4. Pinching the condom tip, unroll the condom over as much of the hard penis as possible.

5. After sex, take the penis out with the condom still on and the penis still hard. Hold the base of the condom firmly so that the semen doesn't spill.

6. After use, tie a knot at the open end and dispose of the condom in the garbage (not in the toilet). Do not reuse.

Using a condom makes sex safer for both you and your partner.
