You must know that condoms, if used consistently and correctly, are up to 94% effective at preventing the transmission of HIV and other STIs
They are also up to 98% effective at preventing pregnancy.
You must also know that a condom, used wrongly has 0% effectiveness.
So you need to know how to use the condom well:
  1. Use the easy-tear edges to open the condom, not your teeth any other object. Don't let passion confuse you because you could tear the condom in the process.
  2. Make sure you are fully erect before wearing it. If you are not erect, you might find it hard putting it on.
  3. Wear the condom rightly. Feel the condom with your fingers and ensure that the oily (oily part) is on the outside while the dry (unoiled) part is inside. If not, the condom will slip off your penis.
  4. Don't unroll the condom before wearing it. Put the pointy tip of the condom on the tip of the penis and rolled up the shaft — oily part out!
  5. Leave some space at the end of the condom, the reservoir. It should not be too tight. The space is to accommodate sperm on ejaculation.
  6. If your condom is not already lubricated, then you can apply a lubricant after wearing it. Don't over apply because it will dull friction during penetration. Friction is important to sexual stimulation.
  7. Use only water/silicone-based lubricants on latex condoms. Oil and petroleum-based lubricants can damage the condom.
  8. Never reuse a condom. If it breaks or comes off, replace it.
  9. Change condoms if you are shifting from vaginal to oral or anal sex. You can expose yourself to infection if you dont.
  10. Remove the condom immediately after ejaculation. Waiting too long or continuing with thrusting can make the condom to fall off into the vagina.
  11. Avoid expired condoms, they are useless.
There you go, stay safe.
