Every now and then on TV messages you hear of co ndoms being almost the safest way to have s3x. Co ndoms is, as you already know, one of the most important forms of birth control out there, because not only do they prevent an unwanted pregnancy but they also prevent STDs and STIS. However, there are so many things many of you might not know about it. Curious???
Then see these 6 interesting facts about co ndoms , which INFORMATION NIGERIA has put together….
You Should Never Keep Co ndoms In Your Pocket; A lot of people really do this because they seem to think co ndoms are indestructible, and so they don’t give a second thought to where they keep them. The truth is co ndoms can rip or tear easily. Even in the
packaging, sometimes that little rip can be so small that you don’t even notice it (but spe rm will!). Between sitting down, moving around, and the fabric moving against your body, the friction is enough to wear through the packaging and get to the co ndom, especially if it’s on the older side. You’re better off keeping your co ndom in a drawer or a small compartment in a handbag where they won’t constantly be rubbing against something.
Some Do Not Protect Against All STDs: Although co ndoms are almost 100 percent effective in protecting against most STDS, they aren’t 100 percent – and that means they don’t protect against everything. They protect against the STDs that are transmitted by contact of private part fluid between two partners. They are not great protection against herpes – you can still get herpes from someone even if you’re wearing a c ondom.
Co ndo ms Can Take Away Your Natural Lubrication: If you’ve ever noticed that when using a co ndom during s3x, your va g a ina quickly dries up, that’s totally normal. Both latex and non-latex co ndoms can cause va ginal dryness, making it uncomfortable to have s3x.
If you don’t want to use a chemical filled lube, but your vag ina gets dry when using a co ndom, try using a safer lubrication such as coconut oil. A little coconut oil can be used on the outside of a co ndom or inside your vag ina for easy insertion of the m an-h ood.
Co ndoms Have An Expiration Date: Just like your favourite snack and anything else, c ond oms have an expiration date.
Although co ndoms have a shelf life of about four to five years, stores that sell them don’t necessarily pay attention to exactly when they expire, so it’s important that you do. If you’re trying to use a co ndom that has expired, it begins to lose its strength and flexibility, and is more likely to break. Cond oms can also lose their effectiveness over time, making you susceptible to STDs or the chance of pregnancy. Pay attention to the date on the box and throw out and replace old co ndoms.
Talc Is A Dangerous Ingredient In C ondoms For Women: Have you ever opened a co ndom and noticed a small dust of powder come out? That powder is talc, a dangerous ingredient some manufacturers use in the production of co ndoms.
Particles of talc powder in latex co ndoms can enter a girl’s body during s3x and irritate tissues, potentially causing infertility (not able to have a baby), and cancer. To reduce these risks of infertility and potential cancer, use non-latex co ndoms when having s3x.
Spe rmicide Co ndoms Can Cause Irritation: Although co ndoms are 97 percent effective in protecting you against pregnancy and most STDs, they can still cause you some problems. Spe rmicide is an ingredient found in some co ndoms that kills sp erm and adds lubrication. Sp ermicide contains the chemical, non oxynol-9 which can cause irritation, itching or burning for both the male and female. N-9 may cause women to experience urinary tract infections, yeast infections and bacterial va ginosis after using co ndoms containing this ingredient.
We hope you learned a thing or two??
