CONTRACEPTIVE

MALE AND FEMALE CONDOM

BY GROUP 2 / 3C

MALE CONDOM
DEFINITION
A male condom is a sheath of thin material that
covers to penis. Male condoms come in several
brands, styles, and size. The type of material used
to make condoms varies, however the most
common material is latex. If used male condoms
correctly, around 3 pregnancies may result per 100
women per year.

 ADVANTAGE

When used consistently and correctly with every act of sexual intercourse, male
condoms can prevent pregnancy and STDs, including HIV/ AIDS. They are safe, and have
no hormonal side-effects. They can be stopped at any time, and fertility returns shortly
after each use. They are very easy to find and use without seeing a healthcare provider
first. Moreover, men of any age can use them, and using a condom enables a man to
take responsibility for preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.

 DISADVANTAGE
Women have to rely on the mans cooperation to protect themselves from pregnancy and disease.
Some people connect condoms with immoral sex, sex outside marriage, or sex with prostitutes,
and do not want to use them.
Some people are too embarrassed to buy, ask a partner to use, put on, take off, or throw away
condoms.
Latex condoms may cause itching for a few people who are allergic to latex and/or lubricants.
There is a small possibility that a condom will slip off during sex.
Condoms can weaken and may break during use if stored for too long or in too much heat,
sunlight or humidity, or if used with oil-based lubricants, such as vaseline or edible oils.

 HOW TOUSE MALE CONDOM

1. Open the condom wrapper using the

easy-tear edges. These are the zig-zag
edges on either side of the wrapper that
are designed to tear apart quickly and
easily.

2. Determine which way the condom is

rolled. This can be difficult to do,
particularly if youre in the dark. Instead
of trying to see which way the condom is
rolled, feel it with your fingers.

3. Make sure the reservoir at the tip of the condom

is pointing in the right direction. This reservoir
should already be on the outer tip of the condom but
can sometimes become inverted during packaging.
Make sure the reservoir is oriented so that the rest
of the condom rolls away from it.

4. Lube it up. If the penis is uncircumcised, consider placing a small

drop of water-based lubricant inside the reservoir. This can make
the condom easier to apply to foreskin. Make sure this is a very
small drop, as you dont want to compete with the sperm for space
inside the reservoir tip.

5. Make sure the penis is fully erect. A

condom should always fit snugly over a penis,
leaving no tight or baggy spots. If rolled over
a penis that is not yet fully erect, it will fit
awkwardly and be more likely to fall off or
tear during sex.

6. Pinch the entire reservoir at the tip of

the condom shut. This eliminates the
possibility of creating an air pocket inside
the condom when it is worn, reducing the
chance of breakage and providing the
semen

with

ejaculation.

place

during

7. Roll the condom on. The condom should easily unroll down
the length of the shaft. If it turns out that you are trying to
put the condom on backwards, throw it away and start over.
An erect penis produces fluid prior to ejaculation (called
pre-cum) that can contain sperm. If a condom has been
exposed to this fluid, flipping it over and re-applying it may
cause pregnancy and/or the transmission of an STD. How you
apply the condom will depend on whether or not the penis is
circumcised.

8. Smooth lubricant over the condom if necessary. Sexual lubrication

decreases the risk of damage to not only the condom, but also to
those having sex. Some lubricants even contain spermicides that can
help reduce the risk of pregnancy. If your condom isnt already
lubricated, apply it to both the condom and the other partner,
particularly if you are engaging in anal sex.

9. Check the condom periodically during use for

breaks. If a condom breaks or becomes loose during
sex, replace it immediately and consider using
emergency contraception such as the morning-after
pill. The morning-after pill prevents pregnancy
before it happens by delaying ovulation, blocking
fertilization, or preventing an egg from implanting
in the uterus; it is not an abortifacient.

10. Replace condom if alternating between different types

of sex. If switching from anal to vaginal sex, for example,
switch condoms to reduce the risk of infection. (ex: E. coli
from the rectum can cause bladder infections).

11. Immediately after ejaculation, withdraw

penis and remove condom. Grasp the bottom
of the condom with your hand and withdraw,
preventing the condom from slipping off or
spilling. Do not allow the penis to go flaccid
within the condom before withdrawal, as this
can cause the condom to fall off and remain
inside the partner.

12. Dispose of the condom discretely. Tie the open end in a knot to
prevent spillage, wrap it in toilet paper or tissue, and throw it in a
trash can.

FEMALE CONDOM
DEFINITION
A female condoms as a sheath that lines the vaginal canal and collects any fluids
containing sperm that may be present before, during, or after ejaculation. The
female condom is made of a polyurethane (plastic) materials and has a flexible ring
at each end. One ring is at the closed end of the condom, which is inserted into the
vagina. The other ring is located at the open end, and it stays on the outside of the
females body. The female condom comes fully lubricated and is individually
packaged. The female condom prevents pregnancy by creating a barrier between
the penis and cervix so that sperm cannot enter the uterus. The female condom can
be used only once; a new one is needed for each act of intercourse.

 ADVANTAGE
The female condom doesnt require a prescription and therefore pretty easy to get.
Female condoms let women share the responsibility for preventing infection.
Unlike the birth control pill, the female condom doesn't have an effect on a woman's natural
hormones.
It can stay in place even if the man loses his erection.
It can enhance your sexual experience. The external ring can stimulate the clitoris during
vaginal intercourse.
Its made with polyurethane instead of latex and can therefore be used by people with a latex
allergy.
It can be inserted up to a few hours before intercourse and remember that you can use the
bathroom while the condom is inserted.

 DISADVANTAGE
The female condom may irritate the vagina, vulva, penis, or
anus (if it's being used anally).
It may slip into the vagina during intercourse.
It can be a bit tough to insert it, especially at First.
Wearing the female condom can create a louder noise during
sex, though this can be controlled with more lubricant.

 HOW TO USE FEMALE CONDOM

1. Practice using the female condom. Though female condoms typically can only be
used once, you should practice using the condom on your own instead of using it for
the first time right before sex. Though inserting the condom is easy once you get
the hang of it, you should try it on your own at least once or twice to make sure
that you can get it right when the time comes.

2. Remove the condom from the package.

Once you've determined that the condom
is ready for use, just tear the arrow at
the top of the package and remove the
female condom.

3. Put spermicide or lubricant on the outside

of the closed end. Using spermicides along
with the female condom can further reduce
your risk of pregnancy. Though the female
condom will already be lubricated, extra
lubricant can make it easier to insert and use
the condom.

4. Find a comfortable position. To insert the female condom, you'll

have to find a position that works for you. It's just like inserting a
tampon, you have to get comfortable and have access to your vagina
before you can insert the condom. You can try squatting on the
ground, laying down, or placing one foot on top of a chair.

5. Squeeze the sides of the inner ring

together. Hold the sides together similarly
to how you would hold a pencil. Though the
condom will be a bit slippery because of the
lubricant, make sure you have a reasonably
firm grip before you insert it.

6. Insert the inner ring and condom into your vagina. Insert it like a
tampon. Push it up with your finger.

7. Push the inner ring into the vagina until it

reaches the cervix. Once it reaches the cervix, it
will naturally expand and you won't be able to feel
it anymore. Again, this is much like inserting a
tampon, if you can still feel it inside you, then you
didn't put it in correctly.

8. Pull out your finger. Make sure that the outer

ring is hanging at least an inch outside the vagina.
If it's hanging much further out, you may need to
check if the inner ring is really inserted correctly.

9. Insert your partner's penis into the female condom. Once you've
inserted the condom and are ready for sex, have your partner guide his
penis into the outer ring that is hanging outside of your vagina. You can
help guide his penis into the condom correctly. Make sure that his penis is
actually going into the condom instead of touching one wall of your vagina
as well as the condom.

10. Have sex. It's normal for the female condom to move from side to side
once you're having sex. As long as the inner ring is still inserted and your
man's penis is in the condom, you're good to go. If his penis has slipped
out or the condom has come loose, you can comfortably reinsert it as long
as the man hasn't ejaculated yet. Once the man ejaculates, you can
remove and throw out the female condom.
