Instruction for use

  • Use Latex Condoms
  • Check the expiry date
  • Heat and friction can damage condoms.

  • Open the condom package carefully to avoid tearing.

  • Put the condom on the penis before any genital contacts.

  • A drop of lubricant inside the tip of the condom will improve sensation.

  • Pinch the air from the tip of the condom to leave space for the semen/sperm. Air left in the condom tip will cause it to burst.

  • Unroll the condom right down to the base of the erect penis.

  • Avoid Vaseline and Oil based products as they may cause the condom to break.

  • After Cumming, pull out the penis while it is still hard, firmly holding the base of the condom.

  • Remove the condom, being careful not to spill semen/sperm.

  • Throw it in the garbage, not the toilet.

  • Use condom only once.
