The condom didn't break it DISSOLVED

Ah, #condoms, the old faithful #birthcontrol method.⁠
⁠
In case you weren’t paying attention in Sex Ed 🍌, a condom is a thin sheath made of latex, polyurethane, animal membrane, silicone, or other material that is placed over the erect penis right before intercourse.⁠
⁠
✨ Effectiveness⁠
⁠
When used correctly, condoms are 98% effective.⁠
⁠
That figure drops significantly, to 82%, if the condom is used incorrectly.⁠
⁠
This includes:⁠
👉🏽 Putting it on or removing it incorrectly⁠
👉🏽 Or using oil-based lubricants such as #coconutoil and petroleum jelly, which cause condoms to break.⁠
⁠
Don’t believe me? Take a condom out of the wrapper and rub some coconut oil on it for a few minutes. It will disintegrate right before your eyes, as you can see here! 😮⁠
⁠
When choosing condoms, look for brands that don’t contain #spermicide.⁠
⁠
As you know from some of the previous posts, you prob don’t want harsh chemicals up in your business.⁠
⁠
This goes for nonoxynol-9 and other spermicides that can cause an array of symptoms such as vaginal irritation and disruption of the vaginal microbiome (which can lead to vaginal infections).⁠
⁠
Ensure that your partner is wearing the appropriate-size condom.⁠
⁠
This will provide even more insurance during #sex and no worries of it sliding off or breaking. (Check out luckybloke.com for an easy guide to getting the right condom fit.)⁠
⁠
🌸 Condoms can be helpful to have around if you’re using the Fertility Awareness Method (which we’ll get into soon). They provide a barrier method if you don’t want to abstain from sex during your fertile window.⁠
⁠
“What about the female condom?”⁠
⁠
Instead of going on the penis, internal condoms go inside your vagina for pregnancy and STD prevention. For a long time they were called “female condoms.” However, people of any gender can use them for vaginal or anal sex.⁠
⁠
These condoms are little nitrile (soft plastic) pouches that when inserted covers the inside of your vagina, creating a barrier that stops sperm from reaching an egg.⁠
⁠
These babies are 95% effective with perfect use, but just 79% effective with typical use.⁠

Are you a condom user?
