Frequently Asked Questions
How to use a condom correctly?
- Use a new, high-quality condom every time during intercourse. Check the expiration date of the condom before use.
- Put on the condom before the penis comes into contact with the vagina, mouth, or anus.
- Carefully pinch the tip of the condom to remove air, reserving space at the tip for ejaculation.
- Place the condom on the tip of the erect penis, then unroll it down the entire penis to the pubic hair.
- If necessary, use water-based lubricant; oil-based lubricants can cause the condom to break.
- After ejaculation, while the penis is still erect, hold onto the rim of the condom and withdraw.
- Carefully remove the condom, being cautious not to spill any semen.
- Dispose of the used condom by wrapping it in tissue and placing it in the trash.
Should I throw the condom in the trash can?
- Condoms are made from all-natural materials and will decompose naturally in sunlight and air. Do not dispose of condoms in the toilet, as they will clog the plumbing.
How reliable are condoms?
- So far, using condoms correctly is the most effective method for preventing HIV and sexually transmitted infections. As a contraceptive method, condoms are as safe and reliable as birth control pills. Due to their ease of use, the chance of misuse is lower.
- Note: There is no contraceptive method that guarantees 100% effectiveness.
In what situations might condoms be used incorrectly?
- Condoms are five times thinner than human hair, so sharp objects like pointed nails can easily puncture them. Therefore, avoid using scissors to open the packaging. The most common mistake is putting on the condom inside out; if you find that the condom cannot roll down, it may have come into contact with semen, so you must use a new condom. Additionally, all oil-based substances can compromise the effectiveness of condoms.
What sizes are considered appropriate?
- Condoms are made from natural latex, which is very elastic and suitable for different sizes of penises. It is recommended to try different types and sizes to find the most comfortable and suitable condom style. Glyde offers three different sizes: Slimfit at a width of 49mm, Ultra Thin at a width of 53mm, and Maxi at a width of 56mm.
Can condoms tear?
- Condoms can be damaged if they come into contact with oil-based or fatty substances. We can conduct a small experiment: apply a little butter on a condom, fill it with water, and wait 30 seconds; the condom will instantly turn into a watering can! The experiment proves that you should not apply oil-based or fatty substances, such as lotion or petroleum jelly, while using condoms.
How should condoms be stored correctly?
- Condoms should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You may also store condoms in the refrigerator. If condoms are exposed to temperatures above 28°C for a prolonged period, it will accelerate aging, drying out, or even tearing.
Can lubricants be used with condoms?
- Lubricants help relieve vaginal dryness immediately and can make the process smoother. Before purchasing lubricants, please check their ingredients and usage instructions. Choose water-based or silicone-based lubricants that are free from oils to use with condoms.
What is the coating on Glyde condoms?
- Like 99% of condoms worldwide, Glyde condoms are coated with silicone, and under foil packaging, they have a shelf life of up to five years. Since water-based lubricants may dry out over time, they cannot replace silicone-based lubricants.
Is it necessary to wear two condoms?
- This is not necessary. In fact, this can lead to problems. Each condom is designed for single use only, and wearing two may increase the chances of slipping or breaking when used during non-vaginal intercourse.
Can condoms be kept in a wallet or pocket?
- No. Condoms should be kept away from heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight; they should also avoid friction, like in a wallet or pants pocket.
