The Bare Facts on Condoms
The Bare Facts on Condoms
Statistics show that one of the major reasons why a condom fails is because the user puts it on upside down or the condom is damaged while opening the package. Here are some useful facts to keep in mind:
* There is a right way and a wrong way to wear a condom. If it doesn't unroll smoothly from the rim on the outside, it's upside down.
* There are basically three sizes ? standard, contoured, and large (2 mm larger than standard)
* Only latex condoms provide the best protection against STDs.
* Condoms have a shelf life ? three years with spermicide, five years without spermicide. Make sure you check the expiration date.
* The worst place to carry a condom is in your back pocket ? a shirt pocket or protective case is better.
* Never open the package with your teeth ? use the tear strip.
* Leave room at the tip. If there isn't a "reservoir end," squeeze the tip.
* Use only water-based lubricants ? anything else will damage the latex.
* If you feel a condom break, stop intercourse, and withdraw immediately.
