Important Information
Click each box below to learn important information about the sexual health supplies offered through this program.
- Always check the expiration date! If the condom is past its expiration, throw it away. You can find the expiration date on each individual condom (as well as on the box they come in).
- Use a new condom every time you engage in sexual activity, including when you are switching between different types of sexual activity with the same partner.
- Never use more than one condom at the same time.
- Make sure you’re using the right size condom. There is a right size for everyone.
- If the condom is put on incorrectly, or it breaks, throw it away and replace it with a new condom immediately.
- Store condoms in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Do not keep condoms in your wallet. Over time, friction can degrade the quality of the condom, leaving it a higher risk of tearing or breaking.
- Always dispose of condoms in the trash.
- Apply lubricant to the back of the dental dam (where contact is made with the skin) before lying it down to help it stay in place and increase sensation.
- Only apply flavored lubricant to the front of the dental dam.
- Dental dams are not meant to be stretched. You can just lay the dental dam over the area of contact.
- Water-based lubricants are safe to be used with condoms and toys.
- Lubricants containing glycerin are not recommended for use by people with vaginal sensitivity.
- Do not use silicone-based lubricants with silicone toys.
- Flavored lubricant is not recommended for internal use as it can increase the risk of yeast infections.
