    How Can Reading the Package Save Your Life?

    Many people make the first step toward safer sex by buying condoms…

    BUT OFTEN FORGET TO STORE OR USE THEM PROPERLY.

    A condom can be damaged by extreme heat…

    or extreme cold…

    and any little tear in a condom is a doorway for semen and viruses to get through.

    READING AND FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS CAN TEACH YOU HOW TO USE AND STORE CONDOMS PROPERLY.
