Using a condom is smart—but using it wrongly can still lead to pregnancy or infections 👇
1️⃣ Putting it on late
Starting s*x before wearing a condom exposes you to risk.
2️⃣ Not checking expiry date
Expired condoms can break easily.
3️⃣ Wrong size
Too tight = can tear
Too loose = can slip off
4️⃣ Not leaving space at the tip
No space for semen can cause pressure and breakage.
5️⃣ Using sharp objects to open it
Teeth or scissors can damage the condom.
6️⃣ Using oil-based lubricants
Things like oil or lotion can weaken condoms and make them tear.
7️⃣ Reusing a condom
Condoms are one-time use only ❗
8️⃣ Not holding the base when pulling out
It can slip off and stay inside.
9️⃣ Storing condoms wrongly
Heat (like in wallets or cars) can damage them.
🔟 Not using it every time
Skipping “just once” can still lead to pregnancy or infections.
