1Not Checking the Condom Before Use

Using condoms is a well-known way to reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. However, condoms can be damaged, dried out, or past their expiration date, and they may not be the right size for you (which can lead to tearing or slipping during intercourse). So, always inspect a condom before you use it!

2Removing the Condom from the Package Too Early

The surface of a condom is coated with a lubricant that not only protects the condom but also ensures a smooth and comfortable experience. However, if you remove the condom from its package too long before intercourse, the lubricant can oxidize and dry out, making the condom more prone to tearing and reducing its safety.

3Not Wearing the Condom from the Start

Some people, either because they want to feel more sensation or because they don’t fully understand how to use condoms, only put on a condom when they are about to ejaculate. However, the penis can release pre-ejaculate fluid that may contain sperm, even before ejaculation, which is one reason why using a condom doesn’t always prevent pregnancy.

4Not Squeezing the Air Out of the Tip

If you don’t squeeze the air out of the tip of the condom before use, it can cause the condom to burst during intercourse.

5Unrolling the Condom Before Putting It On

Some people say they unroll the condom before putting it on to avoid interrupting the mood. However, this can make it more difficult to put on and increase the risk of damage.

6Putting the Condom On Inside Out

If you’re putting the condom on correctly, it should easily roll down the shaft of the penis. If you feel resistance, it’s likely that you’ve put it on inside out, so turn it over and try again. Putting the condom on inside out increases the risk of it slipping off during intercourse.

7Not Pulling the Condom All the Way Down

If the condom doesn’t cover the entire shaft of the penis, it’s more likely to slip off, especially after ejaculation. This increases the risk of the condom getting stuck inside the vagina, allowing sperm to enter.

8Reusing a Condom That Has Slipped Off

During intercourse, it’s not uncommon for a condom to slip off. However, it’s important to note that a slipped condom is no longer effective at preventing sexually transmitted infections or pregnancies. So, never reuse a condom that has slipped off!

9Keeping the Penis Inside the Vagina for Too Long After Ejaculation

It is recommended that you withdraw the penis from the vagina as soon as possible after ejaculation when using a condom. If the penis becomes flaccid while still inside the vagina, the condom is more likely to get stuck, and semen may leak out.

10Reusing Condoms

Condoms are designed for single-use only. Reusing condoms, in any form, compromises the safety they are intended to provide. Don’t risk your health by trying to reuse condoms to save money or out of ignorance.

Frequently asked questions

No, it is not safe to use your mouth to put on a condom. This practice can transfer bacteria from your mouth to the condom, increasing the risk of infection. It is important to use your hands to handle and put on a condom correctly.

No, you should never reuse a condom, and turning it inside out is not a safe practice. Condoms are designed for single-use only, and turning them inside out can compromise their integrity and increase the risk of breakage.

The correct way to put on a condom is to first check the expiration date and ensure it is not damaged. Tear open the package carefully, being mindful of long fingernails that could puncture the condom. Hold the tip of the condom with one hand and place the condom over the tip of the erect penis with the other hand. Unroll the condom all the way down to the base of the penis, ensuring that it is smooth and snug.

Leaving space at the tip of the condom is important because it allows room for semen to collect. This helps to prevent the condom from breaking or leaking during ejaculation.

To know if a condom is the right size for you, pay attention to how it feels when you put it on. If it feels too tight or constricting, you may need a larger size. If it feels loose or slips off easily, you may need a smaller size. It’s important to try different brands and sizes to find the most comfortable and secure fit.
