How to Use Condoms?

How to use a male condom
- Hold the bulb of the condom between finger and thumb, making sure it is the right way round.
- Make sure there is no air trapped inside.
- While holding the bulb, place the condom over the head of the penis (penis needs to be erect).
- Gently unroll it down the penis, all the way. If the condom does not unroll it has probably been placed the wrong way round (inside out). If it has been placed the wrong way round, get a new condom and start again.
- Immediately after ejaculation, before the penis has lost its erection, hold the condom in place to prevent leaking and pull it off from the penis slowly and gently.
How to use a female condom (also known as a femidom)
- While holding the soft inner ring between finger and thumb, place the closed end of the condom into the vagina.
- Push the condom as far into the vagina as possible - use two fingers. The outer ring should always remain lying against the outside of the vagina.
- If the outer ring goes into the vagina during sex, stop and adjust it so it is outside again.
- When the penis goes into the vagina be careful it does not slip in between the condom and the vaginal wall.
- When sex is over twist the condom and pull the end of it to remove it. Do this carefully; making sure no sperm enters the vagina.
- It is important never to reuse a condom. Use a new one every time you have sex - it does not matter how close one sexual act is from the previous one.
- Always make sure your condom has not passed its expiry date.
- To protect the environment, condoms should not be flushed down the toilet.
What are the benefits of using a condom?
Male condoms:
- They are effective and reliable in preventing pregnancy (if used correctly).
- There are virtually no side effects for the user. Very rarely, there may be some allergy to latex rubber, spermicides, or plastic. There are special condoms for people who do react with an allergy.
- Both sexual partners have a significantly lower chance of getting or passing on an STD.
- They can be bought easily.
- No advance preparation is needed (ideal for unplanned sex).
- Male condoms come in many forms, shapes, size and flavors.
Female condoms:
- They may be inserted up to 8 hours before sex.
- They give the woman control over her sexual health.
- They can be used during a woman's menstrual period.
- They significantly lower the chance of getting or passing on an STD.
- They may lower a woman's risk of developing cervical cancer. Condom use lowers young women's risk of being infected with the HPV virus, thus lowering her cervical cancer risk.
What are the disadvantages of using a condom?
- It breaks the sequence of events during foreplay and sex. Some people say the enjoyment of sex is interrupted because everything has to stop so that the condom is placed properly. An ideal way to resolve this is to include the placing of the condom as part of the whole act, part of the foreplay.
- Some men with erectile dysfunction problems find their problem is more difficult if they have to interrupt the sexual act to put the condom on (sustaining the erection is sometimes harder). A study found that loss of erection due to condom use may lead to risky sexual behavior.
- Although condoms are very reliable if properly used, they can break, and can let you down if you do not use them properly.
- Male condoms differ in size (both length and width) and using the wrong size (too large or too small) can result in the condom slipping off during sex. Sharp fingernails and some jewelry can break or tear a condom.
- Accidental tears are possible when opening the wrapper.
- Some lubricant cannot be used with condoms, such as oil-based ones, some creams, baby oil or petroleum jelly. Only water-based lubricants can be used.
- If a person has thrush and is using creams, suppositories or pessaries for treatment, the contraceptive qualities of a condom could be affected.
- Femidoms (female condoms) are not available everywhere.
