Every time I try to put a condom on, I always seem to put it on inside out. I've noticed on the base/rim of the condom, there's almost a jagged/raised side, and a not jagged/raised side. Any tips at how to work out instantly which way up it should go?
PLEASE HELP! & Sensible answers only!

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Condoms (CON-dums) are used by men during sex to prevent infections and pregnancy. A condom is a tube-shaped piece of thin latex (rubber) that is closed at one end. It fits all the way over the penis and catches semen and sperm. Some condoms are made of an animal membrane instead of latex. These condoms will help prevent pregnancy but do not protect against sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV infection.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Practice using a condom a few times when you are alone before using one for the first time with a partner.
Put the condom on as soon as your penis is hard. Do NOT go inside your partner unless you are wearing a condom. Put the condom over the tip of your penis, then unroll it all the way to the base. Handle the condom carefully so you don't tear or puncture it. Leave about 1 inch of space at the tip of the condom. This leaves room to catch semen and sperm so the condom doesn't break.
If the condom breaks or tears during sex, pull your penis out right away and put on a new condom.
After sex, hold on to your penis and the top edge of the condom. Pull both out of your partner at the same time. Remove the condom carefully. Do NOT wait until your penis gets soft to pull it out. This can cause the condom to leak or slip off.
Use a condom only once. Then throw it away. Use a new condom every time you have sex.
If you need to wet the condom, use a lubricant with a water base. Don't use lubricants such as petroleum jelly, cooking oil, shortening, lotion, or saliva. These may weaken the rubber.
For better protection from diseases and pregnancy, use a condom with a sperm-killing chemical called nonoxynol-9 or use birth control jelly or foam. Some condoms come already coated with spermicidal lubricant.
Store condoms in a cool, dry place. Heat will weaken the rubber and can cause the condom to break. Don't keep them in your pocket, purse, wallet, or inside a car for long periods of time.
Don't use condoms that are old, cracked, sticky, brittle, or discolored.
Try talking with your partner about what both of you like and don't like about condoms. This may make them easier to use.

Condoms are designed to roll a certain way. If you start to put it on and it doesnt roll easily, then you're putting it on wrong. I do that all the time. What I do is i flip it over and try again, and sure enough it rolls. There's only 2 possible ways to put on a condom for gods sake.

Read the directions that come inside the condom box. There are illustrated pictures on how to use one correctly. If you can't figure out how to use a condom properly then you shouldn't be having sex.

if you dont know how to put on a condom, you should abstain... waaaaay too risky without one. If you can read the condom box, then you should practice somewhere safe, like on a frozen hotdog or something of that nature
