What can condoms protect against?
Condoms are a popular method of contraception because they are easy to use and can prevent both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections if used correctly and consistently. They are up to 98% effective.
How to use condoms correctly
Incorrect use of condoms may reduce their effectiveness. Therefore, follow these steps
- Check the expiration date before purchasing
- How to use: tear the package>>squeeze the tip of the condom>>put on the condom while the penis is erect
- Remove after ejaculation
- Use a condom only once. Do not reuse
Tips for maximizing condom effectiveness
- Use every time you have sex from start to finish
- Choose the right size condom. Condoms that are too small or too large may break or slip off
- Store condoms in a cool, dry place. Avoid heat or pressure that may cause them to tear
- Use water-based lubricants only. Do not use Vaseline or baby oil as they may cause the condom to break
