Step by Step: How to dispose of a condom that is no longer needed
Properly disposing of condoms is essential to avoid unwanted pregnancy and infection. These are the steps.
Step 1: Make sure you remove the condom completely so it doesn’t spill onto your clothes or bed. Carefully and slowly take the condom off. You should hold the condom’s base with your right hand, and then take it off using your left hand.
Step 2: Once you have removed the condom from your body, tie it off like a balloon. You can seal the condom by making a loop at the opening, and then pulling the ring. This is a reliable and safe way to prevent spillage and unpleasant odours.
Step 3: Wrap the condom in tissue or toilet paper. This will allow you to keep your hands clean while keeping the condom out sight in a closed bathroom trash can. This discreet disposal method will deter bugs from the trash. Use soap and water to wash your hands.
