Directions for use of condom

It should be used only once.
It should not be inflated for testing.
Vaseline oils, skin lotions, cold creams, should not be used as they increase the chance of rupture. If lubrication is needed, glycerine, K-Y jelly or spermicidal jelly can be used.
Soon after discharge, the male should withdraw the penis holding the condom firmly against his body
