To prevent a pregnancy, the condom acts by collecting the ejaculated semen and preventing it from entering the body of the female.

If unfamiliar with using a condom, it is sensible to first practice before using it when actually having sex. A condom is fairly delicate and is easily torn or ruptured. When that happens, it can allow semen to get past no longer serving its purpose.

The correct size of condom should be used to prevent mishaps. Also when familiar with a particular brand, it is prudent to stick with it.

First remove the condom carefully from its protective wrapping. It is inadvisable to use a pair of scissors or the teeth for this purpose lest the condom itself gets damaged in the process. The condom appears as a flat disc surrounded by a ring. It may or may not have a reservoir. If it has a reservoir then this should be held flat between fingers while the condom is placed against the tip of the erect penis and unrolled. If the condom is placed the wrong way around, it will not unroll and may have to be discarded. With a condom without a reservoir, a collection space should be left in the same manner. The condom should then be fully unrolled down the length of the erect shaft. The tip of the condom, or reservoir, when enclosing the penis should remain limp.

After ejaculation the penis should be withdrawn, carefully holding the condom in place. The condom could easily slip off a limp and flaccid penis. A condom is intended for single use only and meant to be disposed off after that.
