- Open the package carefully.
- Pinch the tip of the condom with your thumb and fingers to make sure that there is no air in the tip (this creates space to collect semen).
- Put a drop of water-based lubricant in the condom (don't coat the penis) to increase the person's pleasure wearing the condom.
- If you or your partner are uncircumcised, pull back the foreskin.
- Put the condom on by unrolling it as far as possible down the shaft of the penis. It is important to smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles.
- Lubricate with water-based lube (the more slipper the condom, the less likely it is to break or come off during sex).
- Do not use any oil-based lubricants.
- After ejaculation (cumming), hold the condom at the base so it won't slip off, and pull out.
- Throw the used condom in the garbage, not the toilet.
