Durex Real 10 Latex-free Condoms

When used consistently and correctly, latex or polyurethane condoms can help prevent reproductive tract infections, including infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Condoms also provide good protection against unintended pregnancy. Bear in mind, however, that condoms can fail or break, even when used properly. Abstinence is the only sure way to avoid sexually transmitted disease and accidental pregnancy.

1. Open the condom package carefully to avoid damaging it with fingernails, teeth, or other sharp objects.
2. Put on the condom before the penis comes in contact with the partner's mouth, anus, or vagina. If the penis is uncircumcised, pull the foreskin back before putting on the condom. Keep the condom on the penis until after intercourse or ejaculation.
3. Unroll the condom a short distance to make sure the condom is being unrolled in the right direction. The rolled ring should be on the outside. Then hold the tip of the condom and unroll it down to the base of the erect penis. If the condom does not unroll easily, it is on upside-down. Do not turn it as this may expose the partner to infectious organisms contained in the pre-ejaculate. Discard and begin with a new condom.
4. Adequate lubrication is important. For latex condoms, use only water-based lubricants like water; lubricating jellies (e.g., K-Y Jelly); or spermicidal creams, jellies, foam, or suppositories. Avoid oil-based lubricants like cold cream, mineral oil, cooking oil, petroleum jelly, body lotions, massage oil, or baby oil that can damage latex condoms (see table below). For polyurethane condoms, any type of lubricant can be used.
5. If the condom breaks or falls off during intercourse but before ejaculation, stop and put on a new condom. A new condom can also be used when you have prolonged intercourse or different types of intercourse within a single session (e.g., vaginal and anal).
