Open the packet carefully so that you don't tear the condom.

Store condoms in a cool, dry place.

Hold the base of the condom to prevent spills.

Use a new condom each time.

Withdraw the penis before the erection is lost, so that the condom does not fall off and sperm does not leak from the condom.
