Internal condoms are easy to use with a bit of practice. Here’s how:
1.Don’t start having sex until you put the condom in.
2.Check it hasn’t passed its expiry date.
3.Carefully take the condom out of the packet. Don’t use teeth or scissors as these can damage condoms.
4.Squeeze the sides of the inner ring (by the closed end of the condom).
5.Get into a comfortable position – try lying down or squatting and push the condom inside your vagina. The outer ring should stay outside with the rest as far in as possible.
6.Use your hand to guide your partner’s penis into the condom.
7.Keep the condom in the whole time you have sex.
8.After sex, twist the outer ring and pull the condom out.
9.Wrap the condom in a tissue and put it in the bin.
Remember
Don’t double up! As using an internal condom at the same time as an external one causes friction that can make condoms break.
Use waterbased lubricant. Don’t use an oilbased lubricant as this can damage the condom.
Internal condoms can only be used once – just like external condoms.
