How to use a male condom
 - First, always check the expiry date on the
package. If the date marked has already passed,
the condom should not be used. Open the package
carefully, but never use a scissors or a knife!
Remove the condom from the packet, being
particularly careful if you are wearing rings
and/or have long or jagged fingernails so as not
to rip the condom.
 - Pinch the air from the tip of the condom (this
is key to avoiding breakage) and place the condom
on the end of the penis. Some
people like to put one or two drops of
water-based lubricant in the tip of the condom to
increase sensitivity.
 - Carefully roll the condom down over the ERECT
penis until it is completely unrolled and/or the
entire penis is covered. Ensure that there is no
air in the condom (the tip of the condom should
be 'slack' or 'empty-looking'). Lubricate the
outside of the condom, using a water-based
lubricant.
 - Once the sexual act has ended (remember, you
need one condom per act), remove the condom by
holding the base of the condom and sliding it
off, being very careful not to allow the sperm
onto your hands.
 - Tie the end of the condom in a knot and dispose
of the used condom in an appropriate manner-for
example, in a rubbish bin. Never flush a condom
down the toilet, as it will block the plumbing
system! Think of the '3 Bs': bin, burn or bury.
