IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS FOR CONDOM USE:
• Be sure it is not too tight—it could stop blood flow and severely harm the penis.
Avoid non-stretch tape.
• If the penis has erections (gets hard and bigger), try to put on the condom when
it is big.
• Remove the condom once a day and wash the penis well.
• If possible, remove it at night. Use a bottle or urinal to catch the urine.
• Check the condom and penis often to be sure everything is all right.
• If the penis becomes injured, swollen, or looks sore, remove the condom until
the penis is healthy.
