CONDOM STORAGE GUIDLINES

The Shelf time of a male latex condom is useful and effective from manufacturing to use, varies considerably depending on storage conditions, temperature, humidity, moisture, and even ultraviolet light. Each of these factors can considerably reduce condoms’ typical shelf life of three to five years. As a general rule, male latex condoms should be kept away from extreme temperatures (above 40°C or 104°F) and away from moisture and humidity. Even ozone, emitted from fluorescent (ultraviolet) lighting can destroy condoms within just a few hours.

The manufacturer of the female condom has determined the shelf life to be five years. Storing female condoms is easier than storing male latex condoms because female condoms are made out of polyurethane, a material that is unaffected by humidity and ozone levels. They require no special storage conditions.

Properly Condoms are perishable. With proper storage, male condoms remain effective for three years to five years, depending on the manufacturer and according to national policy. Female condoms have a shelf life of five years. Exposure to direct sunlight or fluorescent (tube) light, heat, humidity, moisture, and ozone can considerably shorten the shelf life of male latex condoms. In contrast, female condoms, which are made out of polyurethane, are not sensitive to high temperatures and humidity.
