isnt it bad for your condoms if you put them in your wallet? how is it bad for them?

Yes. It's very bad for them. If you carry your wallet in your back pocket then you are constantly sitting on them. Even if you carry it in your front pocket then theres still a constant pressure on them which will weaken the latex.

If it's real cold out or real hot then your poor little condoms will get cooked/frozen which also makes them much more prone to breakage.

As long as you use it within 3-4 weeks of having it in your wallet, it should be fine.

Yeah, don't leave it in there too long. I would say a week at most. If I was going to do that, I'd change it up every time I went out, jsut to be safe.

The condom will deteriorate when left in the wallet.

Basicly, you pull it out and it will crumble in your fingers.

VERY Embarassing. Trust me.

But, if you plan on using it in a few weeks, then it shouldn't be a problem.

k i was asking for a friend. hes supposed to fuck his gf for the first time tomorrow and the only confdom he has hes had in his wallet for about 3 months so i told him it was bad for him so hes gonna get some new ones now

I prefer Lifestyles with Spermicidal Lube

If you keep one in your wallet you should change it periodicly, I think I once read every 3 months.

Dont listen to these people. I had a condom in my wallet for 6 months and I pulled it out and jacked off with it on because iv always wanted to try it, it didnt break. And my rough hand was giving it a lot more toture then a soft pussy would.

After I was done jacking off, I left it on and pissed in it. You guys should try that. No more toilet for me!

Yea.

Seriously the shelf life is like 2 (exaggeration) years.

What the fuck are all you fatheads talking about?

Do you actually have any real experience?

I think not. Otherwise you wouldn't be saying that putting condoms in your wallet is bad for you.

yeah, i put them in my wallet but they usually don't stay in there for more than two weeks, but i've never had any problems with them falling apart. maybe some of you were buying the discount condoms? i use trojans (america's most trusted brand), and i've never had any difficulty with them, although it would make sense that if you left it in there for a while, pressure and temperature changes would adversely affect them, but i personally have no experience with leaving them in my wallet for very long.

IMPORTANT TIPS

Make sure condoms are available and conveniently located. If no condoms are handy at the time of a sexual encounter, you may be tempted to have intercourse without one.

Immediately after ejaculation make sure the penis is carefully withdrawn so that semen cannot leak out of the condom as the erection is lost.

Do not carry condoms in your wallet for long periods of time. Replace them every once in a while. Friction from opening and closing your wallet, and from walking (if you carry your wallet in your pocket) can cause tiny holes to develop in the condom. Nevertheless, it is better to use a condom that has been in your wallet for a long time than to not use one at all.

Don't use a condom that is brittle, sticky, or discolored. These are signs of age, and old condoms are more likely to break.

If a condom package is damaged, don't use the condom because it also may be damaged.

Use each condom only once.

Do not use a petroleum-based substance such as Vaseline as a lubricant. These substances break down latex. (They also promote yeast infections in women.)

If you feel a condom break during intercourse, stop immediately and put a new one on. Remember, ejaculation does not have to occur for a pregnancy to result (pre-ejaculatory fluids can contain active sperm), or for a disease to be transmitted.

If ejaculation occurs with a broken condom, insert a nonoxynol-9 foam or jelly to help reduce the risk of pregnancy or STD transmission.

Store condoms in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat

What about under other circumstances? Like and friend of mine keeps one her her wallet, and most chick wallets are spacious, and she keeps it in her coat, so shes never sitting on it, and it never gets very cold. Would the condom still weaken as badly as it would in a guys wallet?

He's right don't listen to them. Let's all listen to the virgin.

OR We could listen to the people that make the condoms. It's written on the side of the package not to do it! I remember I had a condom in my wallet and then it was really gummy and stuck together when it pulled a part. I didn't end up using it because I didn't trust it. And that fuckin' sucked.

Better than the potential alternative.
