How to use and store
Each condom is for single use only. Read the instructions and check the expiry date before use; do not use a condom from damaged packaging. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct sunlight, and dispose of used condoms in the general waste, not down the toilet. According to the manufacturer, AT-10, unlike latex, is compatible with water-based, silicone-based and oil-based lubricants.
Good to know
UNIQ condoms do not contain natural latex, so they are an alternative for people with a latex allergy. Condoms reduce the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, but no method of contraception offers complete protection.
