The procedure is very simple and once you have done it a few times it will be second nature. I would even advise doing it alone at home if worried about being embarrassed in the crucial moment!

A condom is an amazing thing but is also very delicate. So be careful to store the condom where it cannot be pierced. Make sure it is not past it’s expiry date adn when opening ot be careful to not rip a hole through the condom… For these reasons always carry a spare or two!

It’s also worth knowing that some types of lubricant can damage the normal latex condoms so only use lubricants that are water based. KY and Astroglide are perfect. Oil-based lubricants such as butter, vegetable oils or petroleum jelly often damage latex and can make a condom ineffective.

How to Put on a Condom

Every package of condoms is supplied with detailed instructions for care and use. Always read these and always check the expiry date. Never use condoms that are past their expiry date.

1. Put the condom on before your penis touches your partner’s vagina or anus. Fluid (pre cum) can be excreted before and after you ejaculate. This fluid could potentially pass on sexually transmitted infections and could cause pregnancy.

2. Never ever use a condom more than one time. Always use a new one from the packet for each time you get erect and peach time you ejaculate. It is always worth having more condoms than you think you need…. some nights end up that way !

3. An average condom is rolled into a ring shape. They are sealed in plastic or foil. Do not tear the condom whilst removing from it’s wrapper. If it is brittle, torn or stiff or anything seems wrong throw it away immediately and start fresh with a new one.

4. Before you start to put your condom on, squeeze a few drops of lubricant inside the condom (some condoms may be sufficiently lubricated, see individual instructions).

5. If you are uncircumcised, Pull back the foreskin before starting to roll on the condom.

6. Place the rolled condom over the tip of your hard penis.

7. Leave approximately half an inch of space at the tip to collect your semen.

8. Gently pinch the air out of the tip with one hand while placing onto your penis.

9. Unroll the condom over your penis with the your other hand.

10. Roll it all the way down to the base of your penis.

11. Smooth out any air bubbles. (Friction against air bubbles can cause condom breaks.)

12. Lubricate the outside of the condom (some condoms may be sufficiently lubricated, see individual instructions).

You may want to direct your partner to these instructions. Putting on a condom can be integrated into foreplay and can be something that your partner can do for you.
