How Condoms Work

Barrier Method: Condoms act as a physical barrier, preventing sperm from entering the vagina and reaching the egg. They also help reduce the risk of STIs by covering areas that might be exposed during sexual activity.

Usage Tips

Correct Application:

Check the expiration date and integrity of the condom package before use.

Pinch the tip of the condom to leave space for semen and unroll it over the erect penis.

Make sure to use a new condom for each act of intercourse.

Lubrication:

Use water-based or silicone-based lubricants with latex condoms. Oil-based lubricants can degrade latex, increasing the risk of breakage.

Many condoms come pre-lubricated, but additional lubricant can enhance comfort.

After Use:

Remove the condom carefully to avoid spillage.

Dispose of the used condom in the trash (not the toilet).

Effectiveness

Pregnancy Prevention: Condoms are about 98% effective with perfect use but about 85% effective with typical use due to potential mistakes or inconsistencies.
