STEPS FOR USING A CONDOM 1. Check the expiration date and make sure the condoms are latex or polyurethane/polyisoprene. 2. Open the package carefully to avoid tearing. 3. Make sure condom is on the proper side to roll down correctly. 4. Pinch the tip of the condom to create space (½ inch) for semen. 5. Squeeze a few drops of water-based lubricant inside the tip. 6. Continuing to squeeze the tip, roll the condom down to the base of the penis. Apply water-based lubricant to the outside of the condom, if desired. 7. Check during intercourse to make sure the condom isn’t slipping. 8. Immediately after ejaculation, hold the condom firmly at the base of the penis and pull the penis out before it gets soft. 9. Roll off the condom away from your partner. Wrap in tissue and throw it away. Do not re-use.
