How do you explain condoms to your tween when they ask what they are?
So my pre-teen asked what a condom was when we were in the middle of watching a TV show (American Pickers) which referenced them. How would you answer that question considering we have already had a few talks about sex? What is the most tactful way?

When my girls were tweens and we talked about sex, the mention of condoms came up. I told them how important they were because unprotected sex could be dangerous and how it helps prevent pregnancy. I told them to make sure they had some available in case their partner didn't. I guess I didn't explain how it was used because I was hoping they and their partners could read directions when the time came to use them. And honestly, I didn't want that picture in my mind.References

Accepted AnswerIf you've already had a few conversations about sex, condoms should be an easy concept to discuss. As SurprisedMom mentioned, they are a way to protect yourself against some diseases and prevent pregnancy. They are a sign of responsibility.
