Condom usage and precautions

Condoms are a tool that must be used during sexual intercourse. The main reason is that condoms can avoid bacterial infections and prevent sexually transmitted diseases. The most important function is to prevent pregnancy. Therefore, if you do not want to get pregnant during sex, you should use condoms. Condoms need to be worn in the correct way, otherwise they will fall off or be damaged during sexual intercourse. Also, please note that condoms are disposable products.

How to use condoms and precautions

Condoms play an extremely important role in sex. In order to reduce the failure rate of condoms, we have some precautions when using condoms.

1. One-time:

A new rubber condom must be used before each sexual intercourse. Each condom is a consumable and can only be used once. Used condoms should be put into a plastic bag and thrown into the trash.

2. Validity period:

Before use, you should check the production date and expiration date. Expired condoms have deteriorated and are prone to breakage and should not be used.

3. Select specifications:

Condoms come in different sizes, and you should choose the appropriate size based on the size of the penis when erect. If it is too large, it will fall off in the vagina, and if it is too small, it will be squeezed and semen will flow into the vagina.

4. How to save:

A cool, dry environment and one that is not exposed to acids, alkalis or oils should be avoided. If the product becomes sticky or brittle after being exposed to the above conditions, it should not be used even within the shelf life.

5. How to open:

Carefully tear open the individually sealed packaging bags, and avoid using sharp objects such as scissors.

6. How to wear:

It must be put on before sexual intercourse. Before putting it on the glans, the small air bag at the top of the condom for storing semen should be pinched to prevent the air in the air bag from expanding when heated, causing the semen to overflow to the base of the penis during ejaculation, and to reserve space at the front end of the condom.

7. How to tighten the sleeve:

Condoms should not be unfolded in advance, but should be unfolded from the glans part downwards on the erect penis to ensure that the condom covers the entire penis.

8. Which lubricant to use:

Only water-based lubricants can be used with condoms, while Vaseline, liquid paraffin, facial oil, cooking oil, etc. can increase the brittleness of condoms in a short period of time and accelerate their rupture.

9. What to do if the condom falls off:

If a condom is found to have holes or slips off during use, it is still unsafe to just change the condom. You should stop sexual intercourse immediately, clean the genitals with disinfectant, and take emergency contraceptive pills if necessary.

10. How to remove:

After ejaculation, you should press the bottom of the condom with your fingers and remove it together with the penis before the penis becomes soft. The fingers that remove the condom cannot help but come into contact with semen and vaginal secretions at the same time. Therefore, you should not touch the female organs with your hands after sexual intercourse, and you must immediately wash your hands with soapy water under running water.
