1. It is recommended to use latex condoms to prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. That's right? mistake?
That's right. When used properly, latex condoms are very effective in preventing unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
People who are allergic to latex can use polyurethane condoms. Small sheepskin (or sheepskin) condoms have very small stomata that may allow the virus to pass through, and the use of these condoms is not recommended for the prevention of STDs.
2. Oily lubricants such as baby oil and petroleum jelly can be used together with latex condoms and are safe. That's right? mistake?
mistake. Only water-based lubricants can be used. Oily lubricants can make condoms brittle and cause them to crack.

3. If the tip is not clamped to remove the bubbles, the condom may rupture. That's right? mistake?
That's right. The tip of the condom should always be pinched before unfolding.
4, after sex, men should grab the bottom of the condom and pull it out immediately. That's right? mistake?
That's right. This prevents the condom from slipping off and may prevent semen from flowing into your partner.
5. If carefully washed, condoms can be used safely and repeatedly. That's right? mistake?
mistake. Condoms can only be used once! Use a new condom every time.
6, to be prepared in advance, then you can put a condom in your wallet. That's right? mistake?
mistake. This is a misleading question.
While it should be prepared in advance, keeping condoms in a warm place, such as a purse or glove compartment, can make the condom fragile, and it is best to keep it in a coat pocket or a cool, dry place at home.
7. Condoms have an expiration date like groceries. That's right? mistake?
That's right. Most condoms are valid for 3 to 5 years. Please check the date printed on the box or condom package.
8, there is a size of condom suitable for everyone. That's right? mistake?
mistake. This is another misleading issue. While some companies make large condoms (some men do need them), standard-size condoms can even stretch over their heads (yes, that's true!). ）。
Standard-size condoms are suitable for most men. Note: It's equally important to make sure the condom isn't too big. Standard sizes can be used or "comfort" sizes can be used.
