How to Wear a Condom If You’re Not Circumcised

If you or your partner is not circumcised, you will sometimes have trouble putting on a condom. To have safe sex with someone who is not circumcised, it is important to wear condoms correctly to prevent STIs and to prevent pregnancy. This is a sensitive issue, but please relax and take it easy.

Wait until the penis is fully erect. Circumcised or not, you must wait until the penis is fully erect and ready for sex before putting on a condom. If you try to put the condom on when the penis is not erect, the condom may slide up, down, or out. ^{[1] X Research Source}

Add some lubricating solution. Put a small amount of water-based lubricant on the seminal end of the condom before putting it on. Water-based lubricants will make it easier for you or your partner to put a condom on the penis and increase pleasure during sex. ^{[2] X Trusted Source Go Ask Alice Go to Source}

You should only put a little lube on the seminal end of the condom. Too much lubricant will take up the capsule volume and not enough room to store semen.
Use only water-based lubricants. Oil-based lubricants can break down rubber, increasing the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. ^{[3] X Research Sources}

Pull the foreskin up. Before putting on a condom, gently pull the foreskin up until the tip of the penis is fully exposed. Remember that this is a very sensitive area, so you should be very careful. ^{[4] X Research Source} Pulling up the foreskin makes it easier to put on the condom properly.

Normally, after you pull the foreskin, the skin will shrink back to its original position.
If the foreskin retracts to cover the foreskin before you can put on the condom, simply pull up the skin and try again.

Squeeze the seminal end of the condom. When we pull the skin up from the glans, in most cases, this part of the skin will shrink back if you do not hold it with your hands. Once the foreskin is held over the glans, your hands are free to put on the condom.

Before putting on a condom, use one hand to squeeze the seminal end of the condom.
This will help the air escape from the condom and not get trapped in the condom as you cover the penis. ^{[5] X Research Sources}

You need to know what to do when the foreskin cannot be retracted. For some men, the foreskin is tightly covered and cannot be pulled above the glans. This is a symptom of foreskin stenosis. This is nothing to worry about, if you cannot pull the foreskin up just leave it as it is and put on a condom.

Whether you pull the foreskin up or not does not increase the chance of the condom slipping out or tearing.
Condom slippage usually occurs when men have problems maintaining an erection.
If the narrowing of the foreskin is making it difficult for you, such as pain during sex, an infection, or obstruction of your urinary tract, you can discuss a number of treatments with your doctor. ^{[6] X Trusted Source Go Ask Alice Go to Source}

Wrap a condom along the penis. One hand squeezes the top of the condom, the other hand slides the condom down to the base of the penis. The foreskin will shrink while you’re wearing the condom. ^{[7] X Research Source} You can release the tip containing the semen you are squeezing while the condom has covered the penis.

Gently slide the foreskin down to the glans. After wearing the condom to the base of the penis, you can push the skin down to the glans. Hold the condom with your hand to prevent it from slipping off, and gently push the skin towards the glans with your other hand.

This will allow the foreskin to move more freely during sex, while increasing pleasure for you or your partner. ^{[8] X Trusted Source Go Ask Alice Go to Source}

Advice

When shopping for an uncircumcised condom, look for one that has a larger tip or part containing semen, or is advertised as an “extra head room.”
Thanks to their unique shape and size, these condoms are easier to wear on an uncircumcised penis.
