Video transcript

Condoms are not self-lubricating. However, many condoms come pre-lubricated to enhance comfort and ease of use. If additional lubrication is needed, you can use water-based or silicone-based lubricants. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can degrade latex condoms, potentially causing them to break.
