How to use one

Want to know how to use a condom?

Before sex

1. Check the use by date and check it has a British Kite mark or CE mark (see picture opposite).

2. Open the foil as the jagged edge and take the condom out carefully, making sure you don’t tear it with jewellery, nails or teeth.

3. Make sure that the condom is the right way round (the roll should be on the outside).

4. Squeeze the teat to get rid of the trapped air.

5. Put the condom on the erect penis and unroll it down to the base of the penis whilst continuing to hold the teat between your thumb and forefinger.

After sex

Slowley withdraw the penis before it goes soft, holding the condom in place at the base of the penis.

Carefully take the condom off, wrap it in tissue and put it in the bin. Do not flush it down the toilet.

Remember: If it rolls back up during sex, just roll it straight back down. If it comes off, you need to use a new condom.
