Condom use

Step by step
Correct condom use

ALL YOU NEED IS TO FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS!

It really is easy. With a little practice, it almost goes by itself. So here are a few tips for the before and after. And: Not only is everything easier with two people, many things are also more beautiful...

TEAR OPEN THE container - UNPACKING THE CONDOM

Tear open the individual container carefully from the serrated edge. Please note that e.g. fingernails, jewellery or piercings of the private parts can damage the condom. When in doubt, such as when a container is damaged, throw the condom away and use a new one.

BEFORE SEX - UNROLLING THE CONDOM

Before there is any contact between the penis and your partners body, pull the foreskin back completely, place the condom with the roll on the outside on the glans of the erect penis, squeeze the teat using your thumb and forefinger and roll the condom all the way down.

AFTER SEX - HOLDING THE CONDOM IN PLACE

In case the penis begins to limp or if you feel, that the condom might slip off or if it tightens excessively onto the penis (danger of breakage), withdraw the penis while holding the condom firmly in place at the base of the penis. Seek medical assistance as soon as possible, at least within 72h, should a condom leak or burst during use.

What if it’s not gliding well?

Don't panic! Simply try using an extra moist condom (such as Ritex IDEAL) or an extra lubricant. Non-vaginal use or low levels of vaginal moisture jeopardise the safety of condoms. In order to remedy a lack of slide, only use lubricants that have been approved by the manufacturer for use with latex condoms (e.g. Ritex lubricants: BIO, Gel+, HYDRO SENSITIV or LONGTIME). Apply a sufficient amount to the outer side of the condom after it is put on.

Never use additional lubricants directly on the penis or the inside of the condom, as this increases the risk of the condom slipping or tearing. Never use lubricants containing oil or grease (e.g. Vaseline, baby oil, body lotion). When using pharmaceuticals such as suppositories, ointments, creams, etc. in the intimate area, consult your doctor or pharmacist whether they can impair the safety of the condom.

Ritex condoms are medical devices intended for use during vaginal sexual intercourse for contraception and local protection against infection. When not used vaginally, the risk of slipping or damage is higher.
