Latex condoms, when used properly, are very effective in preventing unwanted pregnancies and STDs . People who are allergic to latex can use polyurethane condoms instead.Lambskin (or sheepskin ) condoms have tiny pores that may be large enough to allow viruses to pass through. These condoms are not recommended for prevention of STDs.
*Don't use oil based lubricants like Vaseline or baby oil
Use only water-based lubricants, such as K-Y jelly, with condoms. Oil-based lubricants will weaken the condom and might cause it to break
*Everheard about condom breaking?
Yes.. Condoms can break if the tip is not pinched to get rid of air bubbles. Always pinch the tip of the condom before unrolling it.
*Withdrawing after sex
After sex, a man should withdraw from his partner immediately, holding onto the base of the condom. This will prevent the condom from slipping off and also prevent some yogurts from leaking inside his partner.
*Store in a cool and dry place
While you should be prepared, condoms kept in warm places, like inside a wallet, glove compartment or air tight pockets can weaken from the heat. So it is advisable to keep at home in a cool dry place or an outside coat pocket.
*Expiry dates
Condoms, like groceries, have expiration dates. Most condoms are good for three to five years. Check for the date printed on the box or condom wrapper.
Should also take note that condoms should be used only once, don't try washing it and use it over a period of time.. It is advisable to use a new one if passion strikes twice..
