Where do I get condoms from?

Condoms are the only method of contraception that will protect from both STIs and pregnancy.

Free condoms in Hull are available from MESMAC on Freetown Way, call them on 01482 291190 for opening hours and places you can find them, or, visit Conifer Services on the 4th floor of the Wilberforce Health Center on Storey Street in Hull, or call 01482 247111 for more information.

Using condoms is easy but really important!

1. Always check the expiry date on the condom first, if it is past the date on the pack it is more likely to break.

2. Carefully open the foil packaging that the condom is wrapped in, taking care not to tear the condom.

3. Hold the tip of the condom between your forefinger and thumb to make sure it's put on the right way round and no air is trapped inside (the condom may split if air is trapped inside).

4. Place the condom over the tip of the penis.

5. While squeezing the tip of the condom, roll it down over the length of the erect penis.

6. If the condom will not unroll, it's probably on inside out – start again with a new condom as there may be sperm on it.
