Before Intercourse:

1. Carefully open the package so the condom does not tear. (Do not use teeth or a sharp object to open the package.) Do not unroll the condom before putting it on.
  2. If you are not circumcised, pull back the foreskin. Put the condom on the end of the hard penis. Note: If the condom is initially placed on the penis backwards, do not turn it around. Throw it away and start with a new one.

3. Pinching the tip of the condom to squeeze out air, roll on the condom until it reaches the base of the penis.
  4. Check to make sure there is space at the tip and that the condom is not broken. With the condom on, insert the penis for intercourse.

After Intercourse:
