GENERAL
WHY SHOULD I USE A CONDOM?
Use a condom to protect yourself! Other than abstinence, the use of latex condoms is the best protection against the AIDS virus and other STDs, including gonorrhea, HPV, genital herpes, chlamydia, syphilis and hepatitis-B. When used consistently and properly, condoms also provide the most effective method of birth control available without a prescription.
The condom is a barrier form of contraceptive made from one of the following: specially processed latex (rubber), Naturalamb membrane material or polyurethane.
Latex condoms for men, if used correctly with every act of vaginal intercourse, will help to reduce the risk of HIV infection (HIV) and many other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). They are also highly effective at preventing pregnancy.
If you are sexually active, condoms (used consistently and properly) provide the most effective method of birth control available without a prescription. Some condoms are coated with the spermicide nonoxynol-9 to help increase protection against pregnancy.
WHAT IS AN STD?
STD or Sexually Transmitted Diseases are diseases that are passed on through body fluids such as semen, vaginal fluids, and blood during vaginal, anal or oral sex. Latex condoms act as a barrier to prevent these fluids from being exchanged.
AM I AT RISK FOR STDS?
Yes, if you are sexually active, even in a long-term, monogamous relationship, you could be at risk for STDs. Remember, when you have sex with someone, you are exposed to everyone they have had sex with before you.
WHAT CAN I DO TO PROTECT MYSELF FROM STDS?
In order to be 100% safe from STDs and HIV/AIDS is to avoid all sexual activities. If you are going to have sex, the correct and consistent use of latex condoms can help protect you from many STDs including HIV/AIDS. Your partner may have an STD and not even know it. Using condoms is the best way to protect yourself.

99% of printing issues are solved by disabling Page Scaling, a transformation that some printers do automatically. Fortunately it is very easy to disable this option.

Condoms are regulated as medical devices by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which mandates labeling, good manufacturing practices, pre-market clearance and other requirements for condoms sold in the U.S.
HOW ARE YOUR CONDOMS TESTED?
Condoms are classified by the Food and Drug Administration as medical devices and are regulated and manufactured according to strict national standards. During the manufacturing process, condoms undergo stringent quality control procedures. Before being packaged, every condom sold in the U.S. is electronically tested by its manufacturer for defects such as holes or areas of thinning. In addition, the FDA randomly tests condoms using the water-leak test in which a condom is filled with 300ml of water. If these federal inspectors find defects in more than four condoms per 1000 tested in each production run, the entire lot must be destroyed.
I SEE THAT MANDINGO ® BRAND CONDOMS ARE ELECTRONICALLY TESTED. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
MANDINGO® Brand Condoms undergo a battery of rigorous quality control tests at every point of our manufacturing process to ensure our condoms meet worldwide requirements. Mandingo® Condoms undergo strenuous water and air inflation tests to check for defects. Our condoms are then checked by a patented electronic testing process to check for microscopic holes before they are packaged. All of this testing assures you the highest quality product, each and every time.
MANDINGO® Brand condoms not only meet, but exceed U.S. Standards for strength and reliability. Complete factory testing, independent laboratory analysis, and regular FDA inspections form a comprehensive quality assurance program designed to assure maximum protection and product quality.
WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE OF MANDINGO CONDOMS?
All quality condoms should have an expiration date, and all MANDINGO® Brand condoms have the lot # and expiration date printed on the back of the foil package for easy identification. MANDINGO® Brand Lubricated Condoms have a five-year shelf life from the date they were manufactured. Our condoms are individually packaged in sealed, air-tight packets and should not be opened until the condom is to be used.
WHAT MAKES MANDINGO® SENSITIVE LUBRICATED CONDOMS DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS?
MANDINGO® Sensitive Condoms are the next generation of natural rubber latex condoms. MANDINGO® Sensitive Condoms provide a more comfortable fitting allergen-free condom, made from natural rubber latex. This premium latex that is odor- free, is specially processed to significantly reduces the risk of individuals developing latex allergies and decreases the likelihood of skin irritations from condom use, for latex – sensitive users or those who just want to try something new.
For maximum protection, read and follow the instructions and caution advice printed on and in all MANDINGO® Condoms packages.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE ALLERGIC TO LATEX CONDOMS? WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?
The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America estimates that up to 4 percent of the population has an allergy to latex. The most common allergic reaction is allergic contact dermatitis, in which a skin rash develops on areas that have come into contact with latex. There can also be a hypersensitivity reaction, which can produce a number of different symptoms, including sneezing, itching, coughing, redness, swelling, and eye irritation. These symptoms may not appear until several hours, or even a day or two, after exposure to latex.
If you believe you are allergic to latex, correct diagnosis is important. Your doctor or allergist will be able to run tests to determine whether you have a latex allergy.
ARE MANDINGO® CONDOMS THINNER THAN REGULAR CONDOMS?
Yes, MANDINGO® Condoms are thinner, and they feel more natural. MANDINGO® Condoms combine the strength of premium latex with the sensitivity of an ultra thin condom for that skin-to-skin feeling.
IS IT OKAY TO STORE CONDOMS IN MY WALLET?
To protect condoms from being damaged, it is best not to store them in your wallet. Unused condoms should be stored in their packs, in a cool dry place.
To protect condoms from deterioration while in storage, avoid exposure to direct sunlight or storage for prolonged periods of time at temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Unused condoms should be stored in their packs, in a cool dry place. (Avoid storing in a wallet.)
CAN CONDOMS BE USED WITH MASSAGE OIL, BABY OIL, PETROLEUM JELLY, ETC.?
No, oil can destroy a condom. Never let a latex condom touch oil in any form, such as petroleum jelly, baby oil, mineral oil and vegetable oil. Oil rots rubber. Avoid exposure to talcum powder, which may contain oil.
If used in conjunction with vaginal medical products, latex condoms may be weakened, thus reducing their effectiveness.
WHAT TYPE OF LUBRICANTS CAN BE USED WITH LATEX CONDOMS?
If additional lubrication is needed, use only water-based or silicone-based personal lubricants designed for use with latex condoms. Water-based and silicone lubricants are safe to use because they do not contain oil.
