A practical guide to choosing and using condoms. The chapter explains what to consider when picking one, such as size, lubrication and any material sensitivities, and why a good fit reduces the risk of breakage or slipping. It describes how to find the right size, then walks through correct use of a male condom, from checking the expiry date and opening the packet carefully to making sure it is the right way round. A separate page covers inserting and removing a female condom and which lubricants to avoid. The chapter ends by discussing combining condoms with another contraceptive method for extra protection.
