7 common mistakes in wearing condoms: Which one have you made?

1. Wearing a condom too late

Many people start using condoms after having actual sex, with 17.1% to 51.1% of people making this mistake. In fact, condoms should be worn during foreplay to prevent close contact between sexual organs during intimacy.

2. Unroll the rolled condom completely before putting it on.

2.1%-25.3% of people would do so. This may damage the condom and may prevent it from being worn properly.

3. The air in the front of the condom is not exhausted

Almost half of women and 41.6% of men do not have the habit of expelling air from the tip when using the condom, which eventually leads to condom breakage. The correct way is to squeeze it gently with your fingers to remove the air inside.

4. Not fully unrolling the condom

11.2% of women and 8.8% of men only unroll the condom halfway, covering half of the penis before starting sex. This behavior is very dangerous and can easily spread sexually transmitted diseases.

5. Not checking before use

75% of men and 82% of women do not check condoms before use, including whether they are within the shelf life and whether the quality is up to standard.

6. Using the wrong lubricant

Using oil-based lubricants can degrade latex and reduce the strength of the condom. 3.2% of female respondents and 4.7% of males make this mistake.

7. Reuse

1.4%-3.3% of people have reused disposable condoms, which has lost its protective significance.
