How do I use a condom and how does it work?
How do I use a condom? Roll the condom on when your penis is erect (hard), but BEFORE it touches your partner’s mouth or genital area (vulva, vagina, anus, buttocks, and upper thighs) — and wear it the whole time you’re having sex. This helps protect you from STDs that are transmitted through skin-to-skin touching.
How to remove a condom?
Pinch air out of the tip of the condom. Unroll condom all the way down the penis. After sex but before pulling out, hold the condom at the base. Then pull out, while holding the condom in place. Carefully remove the condom and throw it in the trash. Condoms can protect you against STDs and HIV.
Can you put condoms in the toilet?
Condoms should be put in the trash, not the toilet (to prevent clogging pipes). It’s a good idea to wrap the condom in toilet paper or tissue to prevent it from leaking and making a mess. This is particularly true if you’re throwing away the condom in a trash can without a liner.
How should a condom fit?
A condom should always fit snugly over a penis, leaving no tight or baggy spots. If rolled over a penis that is not yet fully erect, it will fit awkwardly and be more likely to fall off or tear during sex. The condom should go from the package to your genitals relatively quickly.
