This guide is here to help you use condoms correctly and consistently, in order to provide you with a highly effective barrier against unwanted pregnancies and STIs.

Put the condom on when the penis is erect, before there is any contact between the penis and your partner's body.

Fluid released from the penis during the early stages of an erection can contain sperm and organisms that can cause STIs

Tear along one side of the foil, being sure not to rip the condom inside.

Carefully remove the condom.

Air trapped inside a condom could cause it to break. To avoid this, squeeze the closed end of the condom between your forefinger and thumb and place the condom over the erect penis.

Be sure that the roll is on the outside.

While still squeezing the closed end, use your other hand to unroll the condom gently down the full length of the penis. Make sure the condom stays in place during sex; if it rolls up, roll it back into place immediately. If the condom comes off, withdraw the penis and put on a new condom before intercourse continues.

Soon after ejeculation, withdraw the penis while it is still erect by holding the condom firmly in place. Remove the condom only when the penis is fully withdrawn.

Keep both the penis and condom clear from contact with your partner's body.

Dispose of the used condom hygenically. Wrap the condom in a tissue and place it in a bin (do not flush it down the toilet).

NEVER USE A CONDOM MORE THAN ONCE.
