6. Improper Condom Use
Condomuse reduces your risk of developing conditions like bacterial vaginitis, or similar conditions such a yeast infection or urinary tract infections. However, condoms must be used correctly to be effective.
If you use condoms incorrectly, or if they are not the right ones, your chances of contracting infections and sexually transmitted diseases as well as getting pregnant increase.
To prevent this, store your condoms correctly, open them with care, and double check the expiry date. Only use tested, reliable condom brands.
You should never keep condoms inside your wallet or your back pocket. They are at risk of being damaged or ruptured before they can be used. The tear may not even be visible, but it increases the chances of you contracting an infection.
