Overview
Distributor inventory
Uses & Benefits
Contraception (pregnancy prevention) and reduction of risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) when used correctly
How It Works
Acts as a physical barrier that prevents sperm from entering the vagina, thereby helping prevent pregnancy. The latex barrier also reduces transmission of many STIs by limiting contact with infected body fluids/skin.
Directions for Use
For single use only. Open carefully (do not use teeth/sharp objects). Put on an erect penis before any genital contact; pinch the tip to leave space, then roll down fully. Use water-based lubricant if needed; avoid oil-based products. Hold the rim while withdrawing after ejaculation and dispose in a bin (do not flush).
Side Effects
Skin irritation, itching/burning, redness, allergic reaction to latex or lubricant, genital discomfort
Warnings & Precautions
Do not use if package is damaged, expired, or condom is torn/sticky. Latex allergy: stop use and seek medical advice if rash, swelling, breathing difficulty occurs. Use only one condom at a time; do not use two condoms together (breakage risk). Oil-based lubricants (petroleum jelly, baby oil, massage oils) can weaken latex. Not 100% effective for pregnancy/STI prevention. Store away from heat/sunlight to prevent deterioration.
Drug Interactions
Oil-based lubricants and products (petroleum jelly, mineral/baby oils, some creams/lotions) may damage latex and increase breakage; use water-based lubricants. Do not use with polyurethane condoms simultaneously.
