Open Carefully
Check the expiration date first. If the expiration date has passed, don't use the condom. Or if the condom is brittle, or the package is already torn, do not use it. Open the package carefully, to make sure you don't damage the condom. Put on the condom after the penis is hard and before genital contact with partner.

Pinch, Place, Unroll
Pinch air from the tip of condom. Place the condom on the end of a hard penis. Use one hand to hold the condom on the tip. You want the roll on the outside, so it will slide down the penis. Unroll the condom all the way down with your other hand.

Lube Up
Using lubricant will reduce the risk of your condom breaking during use, it can also improve the sensation. Apply to the outside of the condom and inside of the tip. Never use oil-based lubricants like hand lotion, Vaseline, massage oil or baby oil. These weaken latex condoms and make them more likely to break. ONLY use water-based lubricants like Astroglide, Slippery Stuff, KY jelly, or spermicidal lubes.

Hold On Tight
After sex, hold the base of the condom tightly and pull out before the penis becomes soft. Try not to spill semen. Wrap the condom in tissue and throw in trash. Wash hands with soap and water before touching your partner's genitals again-otherwise you could still be passing your body fluids unintentionally to your partner.

NEVER USE A CONDOM MORE THAN ONCE!
