How it's used
This is a common slang term used to refer to condoms in casual, often intimate, conversation. It functions as a euphemism, replacing the more clinical term 安全套. Using this term helps to soften the subject matter, making it sound less medical and more like a standard part of sexual health practice.
Examples
Remember to wear a condom, don't cause an accidental pregnancy.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 戴袋子 or other literal translations, as those would sound confusing or nonsensical in this context. It is strictly used in the specific context of sexual health and contraception.
