Also called: “Protection”, “Glove”, “Rubber”.
A male condom is a thin rubber tube worn over a man’s penis before sex while a female condom is a thin rubber pouch worn inside a woman’s vagina. Both condoms act as barriers to contain semen from entering the vagina and as protection against infection during sex.
The two main types of condoms are male and female condoms.
Males and females can use a condom safely except those with severe allergic reaction to latex.
Condoms are designed to be used once.
Always read the package and check expiration date before use. Do not use a male and a female condom at the same time as this can break the condoms. Use a new condom everytime you switch positions from vaginal, anal, or oral sex.
If the condom broke after sex, let your partner know and she’ll need to use a back-up birth control pill. Both of you may choose to get tested for STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections).
Male
Condoms:
Put the condom on the head of the erect penis. If uncircumcised, pull back the foreskin first.
Unroll the condom all the way to the base of the penis.
After sex, roll the condom down (do not pull the tip) then inspect for any holes.
Tie a knot to close the condom’s opening, then wrap it in tissue paper and throw it in the trash bin.
Female
Condoms:
At the closed end of the condom, squeeze the sides of the ring then insert into the vagina.
Safely push the ring as far you can until it reaches the cervix, making sure the condom doesn’t get twisted.
The open end of the condom should be outside of the vagina. Guide your partner’s penis into the opening of the condom.
After sex, gently twist the outer ring and pull it out of the vagina. Then wrap it in tissue paper and throw it in the trash bin.
It increases the possibility of preventing both partners from getting STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections).
You only need to use it when you have sex.
