When is the most “safe” period to having sex without wearing condom?

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

 

Question:
Hi there, may I know when is the most “safe” period to having sex without wearing condom? My friend say the “safe” period is 3 days after girl get period, is it reliable? Will it stand a chance to get pregnant if I eject inside vagina? Another question is if I wish to enjoy the sex pleasure and eject inside, what is the best solution to prevent get pregnant? Thanks.

 

Answer:
It is never ’safe’ to have sex without a condom when one thinks about sexually transmitted infections (STI) and more so if one plans not to get pregnant or make the partner pregnant. I think in both situations it would be risky to take the chance. You will be surprised to know that the girl can get pregnant even if sex were to be done while she is getting her period!

 

Yes, a woman can get pregnant during her period. There is a definite chance that any woman can get pregnant during her period. Though the chances of pregnancy during periods are usually low, they exist for all women. During periods, the chances of pregnancy are comparatively lower at the onset of a woman’s period and increase just after her periods. The truth is that there is no predictable time during the month when the risk of pregnancy can be said to be absent. Therefore what your friend said about being ’safe’ to have unprotected sex 3 days after period is not reliable after all. If you and your partner wish to have unprotected intercourse and at the same time want to make sure that she will not get pregnant, I am afraid to mention here that there is no 100 percent guarantee even if she were to take post-coital contraception pill like Postinor or any formula that is meant as a post-coital contraception method. Furthermore there is this issue of STI. Do not take unnecessary risk during sex. Use a condom to be safe and to protect your partner.

Answer for personal enquiry - Flavoured condoms

Friday, July 4th, 2008

Question: What is the amount of flavour used on the condom? Will the flavour affect or dissolve the condom especially if kept long before use?
 
Answer by R&D Manager:
The flavour content is about 0.5% of the condom weight. Our flavoured condoms have a shelf life of 5 years which means that the condoms physical properties remain compliant to the ISO 4074 standard requirements for the shelf life which is 5 years from manufacturing date subject to the storage conditions as stated on the pack being complied with. Keeping the condoms in a cool environment is important as temperatures exceeding 35°C can deteriorate the condoms faster.
