Instructions vary by product. Some sprays advise applying about 1–2 minutes before intimacy (often starting with 1–2 sprays and waiting several minutes), while certain wipes recommend applying and allowing 5–10 minutes to dry and absorb. Start with the lowest suggested dose, wait the recommended time, and adjust only if needed. Always follow the specific product label and safety warnings.
Some sprays and wipes explicitly state they are condom compatible, naming materials like natural rubber latex or polyisoprene, or using the label “Condom Compatible.” Compatibility claims vary by product, so check the individual listing or packaging.
