The first record of condom use is
with Egyptian men in 1350 BC
Before using a condom, check for three things:
The expiry date ....... Air in the package ...... That it is not a novelty condom.
A novelty condom - edible, flavoured, glow in the dark or a french tickler Will Not prevent infection or pregnancy. Ensure it is the right way up to roll down
the shaft of the penis. Always pinch the tip (the space at the top) of the condom so that there isn't air inside. Air in the condom can cause the condom to leak or break.
Condoms come in a range of sizes, thicknesses and sensitivity. Condoms that encompass the scrotum are available too.
Lubrication - Oil-based and petroleum lubricants will break down
latex rubbers. Latex condoms need water-based or silicone lubricants. Use water-based lubricants
with Silcone condoms. Condoms made from polyurethane can use water, silicone or oil based lubricants. Apply lubricant to the inside of the condom by putting
a dab on tip of the penis or in the tip before rolling it on. Lubricate the outside once it's on. Female condoms can be lubricated on the outside and inside before insertion.
Pre Lubricated - If the condom package says Lubricated with NONOXYNOL-9. It means that the condom is lubricated with spermicide. If you have an allergic
reaction (rash or discomfort) to nonoxynol-9, stop using it immediately. Water based lubricants can be applied to the inside or outside of pre-lubricated condoms.
