How to Use Dental Dams
Place the dental dam over your preferred area (vulva, anus etc.)
Keep it in place with your hands by holding either side of the dam, ensuring it remains smooth and flat. Most of the time, a dam is big enough to cover the whole area without too much stretching.
Get down to business. We’re not going to step you through this one (you do you), but make sure the dam is kept the same way up – one side in contact with the anus or vagina, the other side in contact with the mouth. If you’re unsure, grab a fresh dam.
When you’re done, remove the dental dam from the area, put it in the bin (never the toilet), and wash your hands.
Dental dams are among the most underused forms of protection. Including them in your routine is an act of care for yourself and your partners.
