FAQs

Do condoms expire?

Yes, condoms do expire. They have expiration dates printed on the packaging. Expired condoms have an increased chance of breaking, so make sure to check the expiry date before use. To prevent premature degradation, condoms should be stored in a cool and dry place.

Do condoms protect you from STIs?

Yes, condoms are one of the most effective methods of protection against STIs. However, no method is 100% effective, so proper and consistent use is essential.

Are condoms reuseable?

No, condoms should not be reused as they are designed to be single use only. Reusing a condom increases the risk of it breaking and reduces its protective effectiveness.

Can condoms be used with lube?

Yes, but make sure your choice of lubricant is compatible with the type of condom. Water-based and silicone-based lubricants are safe with all condoms. However, oil-based lubricants can weaken the condom. Ensure compatibility to have the most protection.

How to put on a condom

To use a condom correctly, carefully open the packaging (without the use of sharp objects) and place the condom on the top of the erect penis. Then, pinch the tip of the condom to leave space for semen and unroll it all the way down the shaft. After intercourse, hold the base of the condom to prevent slipping when pulling out, and dispose of it in a bin. Do not flush it down the toilet, as this can clog the toilet and harm the environment.
