How to choose a good condom?

Nowadays, most men and women have no restraint in their sex lives, and there are still many young people who do not think of taking effective contraceptive measures during sex. If they have sex without any contraceptive measures, the chance of pregnancy is quite high. Many people know that contraceptive measures are important and will choose to wear condoms when having sex, but since it is the first time for many of them, they don’t know how to choose condoms. So how do you choose a good condom?

How to choose a condom

1. Look at the packaging

The national quality inspection standards for condoms are divided into several aspects, including length, width, bursting capacity and bursting pressure, storage period, pinhole test, packaging and marking. However, for ordinary consumers, identification based on packaging and marking is the most practical method. Good condoms will not use very revealing patterns, and their printing will also be very beautiful and clear. Good condom packaging will indicate that they are products recommended by the China Family Planning Commission or are sponsored by the Youth AIDS Prevention Fund.

2. Shelf life issues

Some people think that condoms, like food, are better the fresher they are, but this is not true. Newly produced condoms are stored in sealed packaging after lubricant is added. At this time, the chemical properties of latex determine that its elasticity and texture are relatively poor. Generally, after half a year to a year of storage, the chemical bonds of the latex are partially broken, and a certain degree of physical or chemical reaction occurs with the lubricant. At this time, the condoms reach their best condition in terms of texture and elasticity. ,

3. Pay attention to quality

High-quality condoms are milky white or slightly yellowish, with a uniform texture; they have strong elasticity and softness, fit completely during use, and perfectly capture every bit of skin contact; they have super toughness and ductility, and can withstand long-term strong bursts and friction; they feel refreshing, non-sticky or greasy, have good wettability, and do not become brittle or yellow; and they do not deform after stretching and rebounding.

4. Identify authenticity

Judging from the product packaging, the small box should indicate the product name, specifications, registered trademark, factory name, quantity, production date, and instructions for use; the inner packaging should indicate the product name, specifications, trademark, and factory name. Quality standards: domestic products should comply with GB7544 standards; imported products should comply with international ISO4047 standards.

Third, usage and selection: Condoms are divided into three types according to diameter, and most people are suitable for using 33mm medium-sized condoms. You can also choose medicines containing nonoxynol ether to enhance the contraceptive and disease prevention effects.

The above is an introduction to how to choose condoms, so when choosing condoms, we must carefully read the contents of the packaging box. These are reminders for all of us. Be sure to pay attention. Not only must you choose the right condoms, you must also know how to store them properly. If the condoms are exposed to heat, quality problems may easily occur, which may lead to contraceptive failure. So everyone must be extra careful.
