3. WHAT ARE CONDOMS?
Sheaths of thin latex (or polyurethane) worn on the
penis during intercourse (vaginal, oral, anal)
Barrier method of birth control: collects semen before,
during, after ejaculation to keep semen from partner’s
body openings
Reduces risk of STD’s (more for some than others) if
used consistently and correctly
Can be made of latex, animal skin (lamb) or non-latex
but only latex and polyurethane give HIV protection
4. EFFECTIVENESS
Estimated pregnancy rates during perfect use of
condoms, that is for those who report using the
method exactly as it should be used (correctly) and at
every act of intercourse (consistently), is 3 percent at
12 months.
The most frequently cited condom effectiveness rate
is for typical use, which includes perfect and imperfect
use
The pregnancy rate during typical use can be much higher
(10-14%) than for perfect use, but this is due primarily to
inconsistent and incorrect use, not to condom failure.
Condom failure – the device breaking or slipping off
completely during intercourse – is uncommon if used
correctly
5. Putting a Condom On:
• Should be put on BEFORE the penis touches the partner’s
body openings
• Check expiration date…tear package carefully
• If not lubricated, lubricate with a drop or two of water-
soluble lubricant or spermicide
• Pull back the foreskin, unless circumcised, before rolling
on the condom
• Leave ½” space at the tip
• Place the rolled condom with the ring up over the tip of the
hard penis while pinching out the air at the tip
• Unroll with the other hand
• Roll it all the way down to the base of the penis
• Smooth out any air bubbles to prevent chance of friction
causing a break
• Lubricate outside of condom if not pre-lubricated
6. Taking the Condom Off:
Pull out before erection is lost and penis softens
Don’t spill the semen – hold the condom
against the base of the penis while pulling out
Throw away
Wash if possible or dress
If the condom breaks:
During intercourse, pull out and replace
If semen leaks out, wash with soap and water
If semen leaks into vagina, discuss options
7. Do’s Don’ts
Do store in cool, dry
place (long exposure to
heat makes them more
breakable)
If not pre-lubricated, do
use water-based
lubricant only
Leave space at the tip
and squeeze out air
Do check exp date
Do use only once
Do put on BEFORE
ANY GENITAL
CONTACT
Don’t store in back pocket,
wallet, glove compartment
Don’t use oil-based lubricants
(no baby oil, Vaseline)
Don’t use if out-of-date
Don’t unroll it first
Don’t “double-up”
