Condoms are now commonly used around the world. Condoms can be used to prevent pregnancy and prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Of course, the safety of condoms against various sexually transmitted diseases is different. So is wearing a condom during sex necessarily safe? How to achieve contraceptive effect?

8 Possible Causes of Condom Failure

1. The quality of condom products is not up to standard (rarely). I did not check the condom carefully before use and ended up using a condom with leaks.

2. The condom model is inappropriate. For example, a condom that is too large or too small can easily fall off in the vagina or cause rupture during sexual intercourse, causing semen to flow into the vagina.

3. The ultra-thin condom breaks accidentally during sexual intercourse, such as excessive sexual movement, or unintentional scratching with nails or rings, causing the ultra-thin condom to break.

4. The air in the small sac at the front end of the condom is not squeezed out before putting on the condom, causing the pressure in the sac to increase after ejaculation, causing the condom to break and semen to flow out.

5. After ejaculation, the sperm overflows when the condom is removed.

6. The body contact time was too long, a condom was not worn in time, and a small amount of sperm was ejaculated.

7. Improper lubricant is used. If mineral oil and vegetable oil such as Vaseline, ordinary lotion, etc. are applied to the surface of the condom, the strength of the latex condom will be weakened within 5 minutes.

8. Improper storage. Condoms will lose their strength if exposed to strong light, high heat, humidity and ozone.

How to achieve contraceptive effect?

1. A new gel condom must be used before each sexual intercourse; it must be worn before sexual intercourse begins and after erection; carefully tear open the individually sealed packaging bag and avoid using sharp instruments such as scissors; use Pinch the front end of the condom with your fingers, squeeze out the air, and put it on the erect penis; keep the space at the front end of the condom;

2. Make sure the condom covers the entire penis; if necessary, use a water-based lubricant. Oil-based lubricants (such as glycerin, white petroleum jelly) will cause the condom to break;

3. After ejaculation, while the penis is still erect, hold the edge of the condom tightly and pull out the penis; do not leave the condom in your wallet or near a heat source for a long time.

Contraceptive methods without condoms

1. Watch contraceptive method

An electronic contraceptive watch produced in Switzerland can display the menstrual cycle, ovulation period, contraceptive safe period and pregnancy risk period when worn.

2. Subcutaneous contraceptive method

One or several capsules containing contraceptives are buried under the skin of the forearm, releasing a certain amount of hormones every day, which directly act on the ovaries and pituitary gland to prevent pregnancy.

3. Emergency contraception

Go to the pharmacy immediately to buy emergency contraceptive pills, and be sure to do so within 72 hours. This is your fastest and most effective solution. Take it immediately, then take it again 12 hours later.

Strictly follow the instructions in the instructions. If you have vomiting within 2 hours after taking the medicine, you must take it again immediately. Moreover, this emergency contraceptive pill is only for occasional use to "put out fires" and cannot be used for a long time.

4. Place the IUD

If you have sex during a non-safe period and do not take emergency contraceptive pills within 72 hours, you can only go to the hospital to have an intrauterine device inserted. Note that the IUD should be placed within 5 to 7 days after sexual intercourse. It will be invalid after the expiration date.

5. Electric shock contraceptive method

An American medical expert ingeniously developed a tiny electric shock contraceptive device that was inserted into the uterus. When sperm passes through, the low electric field it releases will kill the sperm.
