Latex condoms are intended to prevent pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, and other sexually transmitted infections. To get the most protection from a latex condom, use one correctly each time you have sex.

Direction for use:

  1. Tear open the foil package carefully. Please do not use fingernails, teeth, scissors or anything sharp that can damage the condom
  2. Before any sexual contact, squeeze the reservoir end of the condom gently between your thumb and forefinger to expel the air out of the tip, while placing condom over the head of the erected penis.
  3. While still holding the reservoir tip, please be sure rolled-up ring is on the outside. This is to ensure when unrolling condom with other hand is correctly done over the entire length of penis. However, should the condom doesn’t unroll, this may mean the condom is on backwards. Throw it away and start with a new condom.
  4. Immediately after ejaculation, hold on to the condom and slowly with withdraw the penis while is erected so that the condom does not slip off and avoid any spillage of semen.
  5. Remove condom from your penis by sliding it off slowly. Dispose the used condom by wrapping in a tissue and throwing it into a rubbish bin. *DO NOT FLUSH CONDOMS DOWN THE TOILET*  
  6. Wash your hands and genitals with soap and water.
