Yes, condoms do expire. Most condoms have an expiry date printed on the outer packaging or box, and on the wrapper or foil itself. It is not safe to use expired condoms. This is because the materials that a condom is made from perish over time, making them unsafe and unsuitable for use. If you have condoms that are past their expiry date, you should dispose of these condoms immediately. You should not be tempted to use out-of-date condoms. Using an out of date product can lead to splits or even the condom bursting during intercourse. This can lead to unwanted pregnancy and also the transmission of STDs.
