Pregnancy is an important topic in a relationship between a man and a woman. It is unwise to have a baby without preparation. It is generally recommended to use condoms. So what are condoms? How to use condoms correctly? What are the precautions? The following editor will introduce you in detail.

What is a condom

Condoms are a non-drug form of preventing conception. They are mainly used to prevent human sperm and eggs from combining during sexual intercourse to prevent pregnancy. In addition, condoms also have the function of preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea and AIDS (HIV), so they are also called condoms. Today's condoms are usually made of natural rubber or polyurethane.

How to use a condom

Use a new condom each time you have sex

When opening the condom, carefully tear it from the edge to avoid tearing the condom. Avoid using sharp objects such as scissors or fingernails to directly touch the condom to avoid damaging it.

Do not unfold it before putting it on the penis. If you do, it will be more difficult to put on the condom.

The condom should be put on the penis before the penis is inserted into the vagina. The secretions produced during the early stage of penis erection and the secretions in the female vagina may contain bacteria that cause sexually transmitted diseases.

The air left in the condom can cause it to break. Before putting on the condom, use your thumb and index finger to gently squeeze out the air in the small bag at the front of the condom.

After squeezing out the air, continue to gently squeeze the sac and slowly unfold the condom with your other hand until it covers the entire penis. If you are not circumcised, pull the foreskin back before putting it on.

If you find a tear in the condom or feel it has broken during use, stop immediately and replace it with a new one.

Make sure the condom stays tightly on the penis during the entire process. If any part of it slips off, put it back in place immediately.

After ejaculation, while the penis is still erect, pinch the base of the condom and carefully withdraw the penis from the vagina.

Remove the condom gently, taking care not to leak semen, and avoid contact between the penis and the condom with the other person's body after removal

Please note that each condom can only be used once. Wrap the used condom in a tissue and put it in the trash can.

Condom use precautions

According to the size of your erect penis, choose a condom of appropriate size. Generally, there are three sizes: large, medium and small. Otherwise, if the condom is too large, it will easily slip off, and if it is too small, the penis will be too tight and uncomfortable, affecting sexual intercourse.

Do not put condoms in your pocket or near other heat sources. Prolonged contact with heat sources will cause the rubber to age. Do not use expired condoms. Expired condoms are likely to break during sexual intercourse. Check the production date and expiration date before use. Expired condoms have deteriorated and are prone to breakage, so they should not be used. Condoms must be stored in a cool, dry environment that is not exposed to acids, alkalis, and oils. If they become sticky and brittle after being exposed to the above conditions, they should not be used even within the shelf life. Only water-based lubricants can be used with condoms. Vaseline, liquid paraffin, facial oil, cooking oil, etc. can increase the brittleness of condoms in a short period of time and accelerate their rupture.

Before use, blow up the condom and pinch the opening to check for leaks. When using, exhaust all the gas, especially the gas in the small capsule, to avoid the top breaking during sexual intercourse and ejaculation, which may lead to contraceptive failure. After pulling out, check again if the condom is broken. If it is broken, take remedial measures.

During sexual intercourse, if you find that the condom has slipped into the vagina, stop the intercourse immediately and gently insert two clean fingers into the vagina to remove it. Do not continue to use the condom. It is best to change a condom before intercourse. If it slips into the vagina after ejaculation, then you should take active remedial measures, immediately ask the woman to squat, let the semen flow out of the vagina, and wash the semen from the vaginal opening, and inject contraceptive cream into the vagina at the same time; for the sake of caution, it is best to take the emergency contraceptive pill immediately.
