It is essential to observe a number of details to which the effectiveness of the condom is ensured. And the care begins long before bed. "When buying a condom is very important to see if it has the stamp of Inmetro if tested and approved. Some shops sell condoms fri fun, but they do not serve to protect, are almost decorative, "says Camila Macedo, project coordinator of the Institute Kaplan.
The storage of the condom is also a difference. Upload a loose condom in your purse or wallet can damage it. "It is necessary to check whether the packaging is full. If you squeeze the container and can lay a finger on the other with ease, meaning that there was some damage, and that condoms should not be used, "says Camila. And if that was his only, there is another error: "no use having a condom only. If it breaks, for example, you must discard and use a new one, "says Professor Alexander Piva Sobrinho and infectious disease.
But the main problems in the use of condoms even happen in time to put. The most common mistake, according to Piva Sobrinho, is forgetting to leave a space at the tip of the condom. "If you do not press the point, does not leave a space, the pressure of ejaculation can extend the latex condom and break." Nor can leave the tip filled with air. "The ideal is to hit the tip of the condom with two fingers, and then unwind in the penis," he adds. "Some people forget to put the condom on foreplay, and protection is needed from the beginning of the relationship," says Ivone de Paula, coordinator of the state program of prevention of STD / AIDS in Sao Paulo.
It takes time to draw attention to the condom too. "After ejaculation is necessary to remove the condom while the penis is erect," indicates Ivone. Camila And adds: "hold the base of the penis with a condom to not let the semen drip. Then tie a knot and throw it in the trash. "
If even doing everything right condom break, do not despair. "At the time, the best thing to do is stop intercourse and replace the condom. Then seek medical attention, "advises Piva Sobrinho.
