Condoms can become brittle
and more likely to break if you
don’t store them correctly.
Condoms that are exposed to heat
or light are more likely to tear. [1]
Don’t keep condoms in your
back pocket, wallet, or
glovebox. If you think you
may get lucky, put a couple
in your wallet or car right
before you hit the town.
Don’t leave them there for
days or weeks.
Store condoms in a cool, dry
place, away from direct
sunlight.
Keep condoms in their
wrappers until you’re ready
to use them.
Before you purchase
condoms, check the expiration
date printed on the box. You
should also double check the date
stamped on the wrapper before
you use it. If it’s expired, toss it
out. Never use an expired condom.
It could tear or fail. [2]
Check out the wrapper for
any signs of obvious rips or
tears. If the package is torn
or ripped, toss the condom
out and use a new one.
If the condom is sticky,
brittle, or looks discolored,
toss it out and use a new
one.
Men
produce fluid known as pre-
ejaculate (“pre-cum”) that can
transmit STDs and, in some cases,
contains sperm that can lead to
pregnancy (though this is
unlikely). Before you play, wrap it
up. [4]
You should also put on a
condom before oral sex, anal
sex, or oral-anal contact.
You can contract an STD
from oral sex, so it's
important to still use a
condom for these activities.
A condom can be cut open to
cover a woman's vulva during
oral sex or to cover the anus
during oral-anal contact.
You may also want to put on
a condom before mutual
masturbation. This will keep
fluids from getting on your
hands that could easily be
transmitted to your
partner's genitals or mouth.
If you are using a sex toy,
use a condom on the toy as
well. The materials used to
make some of the toys are
not always safe to use in
your body (like plastics
containing phthalates). It
can be hard to keep toys
clean, meaning bacteria can
build up, especially on toys
made of porous materials.
Push the condom away from the
edge you plan to tear, and use
the easy-tear edges. These are
the zig-zag edges on either side
of the wrapper that are designed
to tear apart quickly and easily.
Don't get carried away in
your passion. Don't shred
open the foil, and stay away
from scissors, teeth,
machetes, or any other
sharp instrument to open a
condom wrapper, or you
could tear the condom itself!
A torn condom won’t protect
against pregnancy or STDs.
[5]
If it's your last condom and
you destroy it, party's over!
This can be
difficult to do, particularly if
you’re in the dark. However,
checking by sight is the safest
way to determine which way the
condom is rolled, so you don't risk
unrolling it too far or tearing it
with your fingers. If the condom
is right-side-out, there will be a
lip or rim on the edge. If it's
inside-out, the edge will be
smooth. You can use your fingers
to help you: [6]
Place the condom on your
thumb, but don't unroll it.
Let it balance there like a
little hat.
Run your pointer finger
down the side of the
condom, from the tip to the
edge.
If your finger catches on
the rim, it is right-side-out.
If your finger slides
smoothly off the rim, then
it is inside-out.
If the condom is inside out,
hold the rim of the condom
with the inside-out tip
pointing towards your mouth.
Blow on the tip to invert it
and turn it right-side-out.
Cautionary tale: don't unroll
the condom, as unraveling it
will reduce the condom's
efficacy—and make it
frustratingly difficult to put
on.
Tie the open
end in a knot to prevent spillage.
Wrap it in toilet paper or tissue,
and throw it in a trash can. [41]
Don’t flush condoms down
the toilet. Most septic
systems can’t handle them,
and they may clog up the
toilet. [42]
Don’t reuse female condoms.
Sure, they’re expensive —
but accidental pregnancy or
an STD costs way more.
