Top Tips for Condom Use

 

Using a condom is easy but we have a few tips to help make sure you get it right.

Do check for the British kite mark.

 

Do check for the expiration date - out of date condoms may be less reliable.

 

Do inspect a condom carefully before using.

 

Do use water based lubricants with condoms to make sex more comfortable.

 

Do use a new condom if accidentally put on inside out.

 

Do use a different condom between oral sex and penetrative sex.

 

Do use the correct size condom. Wearing the wrong size can make the condom slip off or rip during sex.

 

Do use a non-latex condom if you or your partner has a latex allergy.

Do not use more than one comdom at a time - this actually makes the LESS effective.

 

Do not use a condom more than once.

 

Do not use oil based lubricants with condoms. This includes baby oil, Vaseline and lotion.

 

Do not use teeth to open a condom. Be careful not to damage the condom with fingernails or piercings.

 

Do not flush a condom down the toilet. It may block the toilet or reappear hours later.
