Are your condoms the right size?

At present, condoms on the market are not only novel in style and in various colors, but also ultra-thin or with threads and particles on the surface. Consumers often feel at a loss to choose when faced with a dazzling array of condoms. Experts believe that there is a lot of knowledge in choosing condoms, but due to the lack of understanding of condoms among domestic consumers, there are still many misunderstandings in selection and understanding.

Is your condom the right size?

According to international standards, the longest condom is 198 mm, the thickness of the cover is 0.06-0.07 mm, the ultra-thin one is only 0.03 mm, and the average weight is 1.4 grams. The stretch should be 7 times the original, and it would take 13 kilograms of force to tear it in half. There are three types of condoms in my country, namely large (35mm), medium (33mm) and small (31mm).

Clinical statistics have found that many men use condoms that are too tight, causing blood circulation in the penis to be blocked and causing ischemia. The tissues and nerves in the penis are hypoxic, and the cavernous body is easily injured, resulting in weakness and weakness of the penis. Failure to do so may even cause sexual impotence in severe cases. Experts suggest that when choosing condoms, you must use the standard sizes of condoms and do not buy and use them at will. Before having sex, you should choose the style and model that suits your needs based on your penis size and the other person's opinions to ensure that the penile tissue is not bruised.

The confusion in the condom production and sales market has also brought greater confusion to consumers, and even made the use process unsafe. It is understood that the current domestic condom market supply channels are relatively chaotic. Family planning medicine management stations, condom production companies, middlemen, small traders, and even all walks of life can engage in wholesale. Product quality is even more worrying: there are only seven designated condom companies nationwide, but there are hundreds of packagers with thousands of brands.

Among them, 30% of the products are fake. The tear rate of ordinary quality condoms is 1%, while the tear rate of high quality condoms is only 1‰. A very small number of condoms may have small holes on the front end that are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Although sperm cannot pass through, it may still become a portal for viruses to sneak through. Because the HIV virus is only 0.1 microns in diameter, 30 times smaller than sperm, and almost all sexually transmitted diseases are so tiny, even if some condoms can prevent pregnancy, they may not be able to prevent disease.

When choosing condoms, make sure they are produced by regular manufacturers and do not use fake or inferior products. When purchasing, check the expiration date of the product, whether there is mildew, and whether the product packaging is sealed or complete.

16 tips for safe condom use

16 tips for safe condom use:

After choosing a condom that suits you, how do you use it? In fact, when you buy condoms, there are instructions for use in the box. However, we still need to emphasize some details of condom use:

1. A new gel condom must be used before each sexual intercourse.

2. Condoms have different specifications. The appropriate model should be selected according to the size of the penis when it is erect. If it is too big, it will fall off in the vagina; if it is too small, it will be squeezed and the semen will flow into the vagina.

3. Check the production date and expiration date before use. Expired condoms have deteriorated and are easy to break and should not be used.

4. Condoms must be stored in a cool, dry environment and not exposed to acids, alkalis, and oils. If it becomes sticky or brittle after exposure to the above conditions, it should not be used even within the shelf life.

5. Carefully tear open the individually sealed packaging bag and avoid using sharp tools such as scissors.

6. It must be put on before sexual intercourse begins.

7. Before putting on the glans, the small air bag at the top of the condom for storing semen should be deflated to prevent the air in the air bag from expanding when heated and causing the semen to overflow to the root of the penis during ejaculation.

8. Reserve the space at the front of the condom.

9. The condom should not be unfolded in advance, but should be unfolded on the head of the erect penis downward from the glans.

10. Make sure the condom covers the entire penis.

11. Only water-based lubricants can be used with condoms. Vaseline, liquid paraffin, facial oil, cooking oil, etc. can increase the brittleness of condoms in a short period of time and accelerate their rupture.

12. If a hole or slippage is found in a condom during use, it is still unsafe to just replace the condom. Sexual intercourse should be stopped immediately and the genitals should be cleaned with disinfectant.

13. After ejaculation, press the bottom of the condom with your fingers and pull it out together with the penis before the penis becomes weak.

14. When removing the condom, do not allow semen to flow out, and do not allow vaginal secretions outside the condom to come into contact with the body. Each condom can only be used once and used condoms should be placed in a plastic bag and thrown into the trash.

15. It is impossible for the fingers to take off the condom without coming into contact with semen and vaginal secretions at the same time. Therefore, you cannot touch the female organs with your hands after sexual intercourse. You must wash your hands immediately with soapy water under running water.

16. If semen enters the vagina, use emergency contraception immediately.
