Latex condoms are an effective form of contraception. If used properly, latex condoms will help to reduce the risk of transmission of HIV infection (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
To open, tear the package carefully with your hands. Do not use fingernails, teeth, or anything that can damage the condom. Remove the condom from the package and apply a small amount of lubricant to the inside tip. Before any sexual contact, place the condom on the head of the erect penis with the rolled side out. Squeeze the pointy end of the condom so that there’s no air trapped inside. If there is trapped air, you risk the condom splitting. Additionally, it's critical to make sure you put the condom on when the penis is fully erect, as you want to make sure it fits correctly and there are no baggy spots.
We recommend using rise with a lubricant on the outside of the condom to enhance comfort and prevent breakage.
If you are uncircumcised, pull back the foreskin before keeping one hand at the head of the penis with the end of the condom between your forefinger and thumb, and use the other to roll the condom all the way down the shaft to the base. Note: if the condom will not unroll, you have it inside out and you will need to use a new condom.
When done, hold the condom at the base while you are still erect so that it doesn't slip off. Then, when fully withdrawn, take the condom off. Dispose of it carefully in the trash bin—never in the toilet. Use a new condom for each act of sex.
Caution: this product contains natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions.
