The condom is a rubber sheath that fits over a man s erect penis. In this way, it serves as a barrier, preventing the sperm from entering the uterus.
Condoms are available at any chemist.
The condom should be used every time you have intercourse. There may be some decrease in the sensation during sex. The man should put it on prior to any genital contact. You should avoid the use of oil-based lubricants like petroleum jelly, cold cream or baby oil as these can weaken latex condoms causing them to break. Some condoms are lubricated with spermicide, which increases their effectiveness.
