What is the shelf life of a condom?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Latex vs. Sheepskin: Latex(rubber) condoms will deteriorate with age and heat.(do not carry one in a wallet for a long period of time). All condoms should be held up to the light to inspect for minature holes prior to their use after opening.Also utilize a secondary form of contracepiton with the condom for more effectiveness and protection from failures and pregnancy.
