The condom is the simplest and most accessible contraception method. However, to use it successfully, you should know a few simple rules.

- Always check the expiration date. Condoms tend to lose durability over time, which increases the risk of tearing.

- Proper storage is no less important for contraceptives than for foodstuffs. Condoms lost elasticity if exposed to direct sunlight and heat, even while still in the packaging.

- Don't use condoms that have been kept in the car's glove compartment or on a windowsill for a long time.

- To avoid accidental piercing, don't store condoms in a purse or on a shelf along with sharp objects (for example, manicure scissors or keys).

- So as not to tear the condom, don't open the packaging with scissors or with your teeth.

By following these simple rules, you will reduce the likelihood of an unwanted pregnancy or STD.
