1 The condom - Information about the condom

Purpose

Information about condoms is necessary for effective use.

What the teacher does

1. Provide an activity sheet for each student or read the questions and answers to the students.

2. Emphasis should be placed on the fact that condoms are strong, safe, sensitive and easy to use.

Remind students that Vaseline and other oil-based lubricants should not be used as they weaken latex condoms. Only water-based lubricants such as KY-jelly, glycerin, egg white, spermicidal jelly or foam, MuKo and Lubafax should be used.

3. Ask if there are any questions about condoms and provide answers if you can. If not, tell the students you will find the answer for the next day.
