1. Check the expiration date.
2. Handle the condom carefully, avoiding tearing it with nails or sharp objects.
3. With the open side of the condom facing out, squeeze the tip and place it on the end of the erect penis. Unroll it all the way with the other hand.
4. If you feel the condom rolling up, slipping off, or pulling on the penis during sexual intercourse, stop and check its condition, as this can increase the risk of breaking.
5. After ejaculation, and with the penis still erect, hold the base of the condom and remove it.
6. Dispose of it in household waste (not in the toilet).
