3. Tear the wrapper of the condom
If you feel the condom closer to the tear area of the wrapper, push it away first. Once you feel only the wrapper, tear it. You often will find zigzag edges that are meant to be easy to tear edges. For a man who uses opens a condom right before the act, this is convenient because it is quick. It is always best to tear it with your hands. Avoid using scissors or teeth to tear the wrapper.

4. Find the rim of the condom
