Product Information

There are lots of different STDs. Some are carried in body fluids like semen (cum), vaginal fluids, and blood — these include HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, and trichomoniasis. Others can be passed from skin-to-skin touching with an infected body area, like your mouth or genitals — these include herpes, HPV and genital warts, syphilis, public lice (crabs), and scabies.

If you think sperm has entered the vagina, you may need emergency contraception. You can use emergency contraception up to 5 days after unprotected sex (when sperm entered the vagina).

Condoms are very strong but may split or tear if not used properly. If this happens to you, practise putting them on so you get used to using them. One of the best things about condoms is that they’re sold pretty much everywhere, which makes them super convenient and easy to get. Condoms are the only type of birth control out there that also help protect against STDs. So even if you’re using another form of birth control (like the pill), it’s a good idea to also use condoms to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections. You only need to use them when you have sex. They do not need advance preparation and are suitable for unplanned sex.
