Condom is the best method to prevent the unwanted pregnancy. It is very essential to use condom for protection against the sexually transmitted diseases. The use of the condom came into in the picture more when AIDS was found to be spread largely due to the sexual contact. Use of condom protects you from the hazardous disease of AIDS. We can not control our urge for sex, so we should wear a condom in order to remain away from the drawbacks of the unprotected sex. But, everyman faces the problem that which condom he should buy and about its use. So, here are the tips that would be helpful for men to know everything about the condoms.

Condom tips and selection information:

   1. Buying condom is the first question that every man faces, first thing I would like to share is that don’t feel shy while buying a condom because you are doing it for your benefits and everybody is aware of it.

   2. Use only the latex condoms because lambskin condoms don’t block HIV and STDs. Also avoid using polyurethane condoms because there are high chances of breaking.

   3. Please check the expiry date on the condom pack always before purchasing. If you find the condom is going to expire in next month then please ask for the fresh condoms.

   4. Always store the condoms in the cool and dry place because hot and humid climate may damage it. Keep condoms away from dust because it may result in damaging its elasticity.

   5. Condoms of different sizes are available in the market. Select the small, medium, or large size depending on your penis size. If you small size penis then I would suggest you to buy medium size condom because it will help you to provide proper elasticity during intercourse, otherwise there are high chances of breaking of condom or sometimes it gets peeled out. So, always take one size larger condom than you require. Condoms should be purchased by measuring the size of the erect penis and not the flaccid one.

   6. Open the condom package only when you are going to use it. Suppose you open it and then you don’t want to use it then please discard that condom because it is not advised to store the once opened condom.

   7. Use fresh condom for every sexual encounter. Condom that is once used should not be used for another sexual encounter. Condoms are meant for one-time use only.

   8. Packaging of condom should be opened carefully because it may tear it. Then unroll the condom. Next is to pinch the air from the condom tip to leave the space for the semen. Then as the penis is erect wear the condom. Remember to get back the foreskin of penis below the penis head if your penis is not circumcised. This way a half inch of space is left for the seminal fluid.

   9. Don’t use two condoms at once because there are high chances of condom unrolling during the act. Many times both the condoms may tear. Even the damage to the penis and loss of sensation is also observed due to wearing two condoms. So, please use only one condom at a time.

  10. After ejaculation remove the condom when your penis is still erect. Remove it carefully so that no semen falls out. Dispose it after the use.

  11. Different types of condoms are available at market. Trojan condoms, flavored condoms, lubricated condoms, etc can be purchased depending on your choice. If you are going for the oral sex then you can select from the flavored condoms, which flavor is liked by your partner.

  12. Always buy a condom manufactured by a standard company and avoid buying it from any unknown company.

  13. Suppose if man doesn’t want to use the condom then there is also an option of the “Female Condoms.” The female condom is fitted inside the vagina, which is made of the polyurethane and is in the form of small and large rings. This option is should only use when male partner is not comfortable with the use of condoms.

  14. During the anal sex there are high chances of breaking of condom, so please use the lubricants like Y jelly, Clinigel, Sensel to prevent condom from damaging.

  15. Avoid using male and female condom together because protection care taken by one partner is enough to protect unwanted pregnancy and spread of STDs.

So, please follow the above mentioned tips whenever you have to use condoms. This condom tips will surely be useful to you and clear all your doubts regarding the condom selection and usage.
