    I have some condoms that were exposed to sub-freezing temperatures while in my car at night.

    Are they ruined?
    If it's questionable, i'll throw 'em out. Better safe than sorry. I just don't wanna' waste my money if they will be all right.

    Anyone else have experiences with this shit?

    You guys can hijack the thread if you want.

    Don't use them.
    Read on the box. It probably says not to expose to temperatures below ___ or above ___. It's because it can dry out the latex, which makes them MUCH easier to break. Also the reason you shouldn't keep them in a wallet, pocket, etc., because any small holes or cracks in the wrapper can dry out the latex.

    thanks for the info. yeah- I heard about the wallet thing. When I was little, I kept wet naps in my wallet because i thought they were cool. However, they got squeezed so many times by my sitting that there was no moisture remaining when I went to use 'em.

    I don't want the same for my condoms. I'll just make some funny balloon animals with 'em and then throw them out. Better safe than sorry.
