Since every pack of condoms has a expiration date, it is important that keep checking them before you use or even purchase them at the drug store. That date will let you know how long the efficacy of each condom. In case you find a condom which has gone past the expiration date, the only thing that you should do is to throw them away and change a new one.

Check the foil wrapper packing of the condom before usage.

What you see is important on the package. Any rip, tear or staining on the outer package or foil of the condom is a sign that what’s inside may no longer be effective to use. You also should check if there are holes on the package. To do this, press on the package and feel if there’s air coming out of the pack. If air comes out, the condom can't be used.

Safe condoms are packaged in good foils; there are no smudges, holes and tears on the surface of the packaging.

Check the consistency and the texture of the condoms

Condoms are prelubricated. But if the condoms are too watery or too sticky to the touch. The condoms should not be used anymore. Same goes if the surface of the condom is too dry. The condom may have been exposed through small punctures on the packaging or was mishandled during production.

Check the condom out of its packaging

When you take the condom out of its package, immediately check its tip. Check if there are any holes on the tip. Then carefully unroll the condom and check for holes and weak spots on the surface. If there are holes, weak or slightly brittle areas, best to get a new one. In order to help you check for holes, fill the condom with water; carefully observe if there are drips or streams of water shooting out of the surface.

Those which have been recently used can cause the sperm to leak out and fresh ones can even get your partner pregnant.

Check the condoms whether have an unpleasant odor

This may mean the product was mishandled during manufacture or packaging, or the package has been damaged or exposed to chemicals or even to heat. Using it can make you sick instantly and can cause allergic reactions.

You should to know where the condoms are stored. Even if they have a definite or set expiration date, condoms which have been exposed to extreme cold or heat can go bad really fast. Always store your condoms in cool and dry places and refrain from placing them in areas that are too cold such as the freezer or the refrigerator.
