PUTTING ON

The penis should be fully erect before putting on a condom.

 

With one hand, squeeze the tip of the condom between thumb and finger to get rid of all of the air at the tip.

 

Put the condom on the penis with the other hand and roll it all the way down. Be sure to put it on with the roll on the outside.

SAFE LUBRICANTS

Only water-based lubricants should be used with condoms.

 

DO NOT USE!

Never use anything oil-based, such as Vaseline or baby oil, as these will rot the condom and may result in it ripping or tearing more easily.

AFTER EJACULATION

The penis should be withdrawn immediately after ejaculation. The condom should be held firmly at the base of the penis while withdrawing to stop it from coming off or leaking.
