How To Put On A Condom

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 caused STI''s.

Open the condom package at one corner being careful not to tear the condom with your fingernails, your teeth, or through being too rough. Make sure the package and condom appear to be in good condition, and check that the expiry date has not passed.

Place the rolled condom over the tip of the hard penis, and if the condom does not have a reservoir top, pinch the tip of the condom enough to leave a half inch space to collect semen. When putting a condom on an uncircumcised penis, pull back the foreskin before rolling the condom on.

Pinch the air out of the condom tip with one hand and unroll the condom over the penis with the other hand. Roll the condom all the way down to the base of the penis, and smooth out any air bubbles, as they can cause the condom to break. If the condom comes off, withdraw the penis and put on a new condom before intercourse continues.

Soon after ejaculation, 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 Remove the condom only when the penis is fully withdrawn.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 hygienically. Wrap the condom in a tissue and place it in a bin, do not flush it down the toilet. Make sure never use a condom more than once.
