There is more than 1 step to putting on a condom!!

Store condoms properly – not in the glove compartment, wallet or backpack.
Avoid exposure to heat or light.
Check expiration date.

Open condom package carefully; do not use teeth or scissors

Check direction condom unrolls before putting it on.

Squeeze top half inch to remove air and leave room for the ejaculate.

Place condom on top of penis and unroll down.

Unroll condom until reaching the base of the penis.
Add additional water-based lubricant to ensure that condom doesn’t break. Do not use oil-based lubricants; these cause the condom to break easier.

Enjoy sex act, orgasm and ejaculation.

Pull out immediately after ejaculation so the condom is less likely to fall off in the partner.
Hold onto rim of condom when pulling out.

Take condom off.

Tie in knot and discard in trash.
Do not place in toilet (can block plumbing).
