| Use a good quality condom that conforms to
Australian and International Standards. Check the use by date on the
packet. Open the packet carefully; don't snag the condom with rings or
fingernails. Check which way the condom unrolls. |
 |
| It is very important to use
the condom for the entire time you are having intercourse. Put the
condom on before the penis comes into contact with the vagina or anus
and only when the penis is hard and erect. Don't unroll the condom
before putting it on. |
| Squeeze the teat on the end of the condom
between two fingers (this is to expel the air so there is room for the
semen) and hold it against the tip of the penis. |
 |
| Gently unroll the condom all the way down
to the base of the penis. If you don't get it on the first time, throw
the condom away and start again. |
 |
| Use a water soluble lubricant.
This is essential for anal intercourse. Rub it on the outside of the
condom. The lubricant makes intercourse more comfortable and helps
prevent breakage of the condom. Use only water based lubricants such as
Wet Stuff, KY, Lubafax, Le Gel, Glyde or Muko. |
| The penis should be withdrawn immediately
after ejaculation with you or your partner holding the rim of the condom
to stop any spillage. Slip the condom off carefully. |
 |
| You can only use a condom
once. If you want to have sex again, put on a new condom. Don't flush
used condoms down the toilet. Wrap them in paper and put them in a bin. |
