Use to condom

Wearing a condom during sex can help prevent pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted infections. Between these two, the male condoms are more commonly used because of their ease of use and availability. A condom will protect you and your partner during vaginal, anal and oral sex.

There’s not enough scrubbing to make a condom OK to use again. Any treatment that would kill every sperm and every potential pathogen would also make the condom weaker. After sex, twist the large ring to prevent semen from leaking out and gently pull the female condom out.

Always use a new female condom each time you have sex. Remember don’t double up! Using a female condom at the same time as a male condom can cause friction and the condoms will be more likely to split. Condom reuse is a bad idea. Don’t use the condom after this date.

Expired condoms may tear or break more easily. Look for obvious defects. If a condom feels brittle or sticky, toss it and get a new one.
