Condoms
do's and don'ts |
| Do's | Don'ts |
- use only latex or polyurethane (plastic) condoms.
- keep condoms in a cool, dry place.
- put the condom on an erect (hard) penis before there
is any contact with a partner’s genitals.
- use plenty of water-based lubricant (like KY Jelly®
or Astroglide®) with latex condoms. This reduces friction
and helps prevent the condom from tearing.
- squeeze the air out of the tip of the condom when
rolling it over the erect penis. This allows room for
the semen (cum).
- hold the condom in place at the base of the penis
before withdrawing (pulling out) after sex.
- throw the condom away after it’s been used.

- Don't use out of date condoms. Check the expiration
date carefully. Old condoms can be dry, brittle or weakened
and 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 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 wait until you are in a sexual relationship, to
know what condoms work for you, experiment
first before you have sex with another person.
