How to Remove a Condom

In order for a condom to be effective, it must not only be used correctly, but it must also be removed properly.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Slowly pull the penis out of vagina immediately after ejaculation, before the penis softens.
2. Firmly hold the condom against the penis shaft so semen does not spill.
3. Carefully remove the condom and throw it away.
4. Wash the penis and your hands with soap and water.

Tips & Warnings

• Use each condom only once.
• Practice when you're by yourself so that you are prepared.
• Do not use latex condoms if you are allergic to rubber. Animal tissue condoms are available, but don't protect as well as latex.
• Use only water-based lubricants with latex condoms. Oil-based lubricants like petroleum jelly, cold cream, butter, or mineral and vegetable oils damage latex.
