Better not this way
Rule of thumb: Better throw away a condom and start again with a new one than risk it with one used the wrong way.
Mistakes before sex
- You don’t have a condom with you
- You have only one condom with you
- Your condoms are too old (expiration date)
- Your condoms have not been tested (check for certification mark)
- Your condoms were stored the wrong way (damaged)
- You have the wrong condom size
Mistakes during sex
- You start having sex without a condom (germs and first sperm cells don’t wait for the climax)
- You don’t press the air out of the condom tip
- You do not roll down the condom carefully (tear risk)
- You don’t check whether the condom fits well
- You put on the condom again after you had it on the wrong way
- You use the wrong lubricant (don’t use oil or fat with latex; no skin or sun creams)
- You use a spermicide cream in addition to the condom (damages latex)
Mistakes after sex
- You do not grasp the condom firmly when pulling it out (can slide off)
- You don’t wash your hands and penis
- You continue without condom (new sex means using a new condom)
