Freezing condoms?

[mallardtone-man]

I always keep condoms in the glove box of my car, and in my coat. It get very cold at night here and everything freezes. I am wondering if the condoms freese, and or if the cold damages them in any way. Thanks!

well extreme heat isn't good for them so i would think that extreme cold wouldn't be either
it might cause the latex to crack or something.
i would keep them in your house so they stay at a constant temperature.
its probably not good for them to get cold then thaw then freeze again.

If you notice, then it's extremely cold, you sometimes can see rubber pipes cracking. I would assume that the same might happen to the condom. I would just say, buy smaller quanteties, or keep most at home. I just keep ours by our bed. And if you know that you might need it, but it won't be in your place, just grab 2 or so and put it in your pant's pocket. They should be fine like that for one ngiht I would think. BUt I really would not subject it to extreme tempritures

READ THE BOX! It will clearly tell you about the tempereture limits! I WOULD NOT use a condom if it was exposed to freezing temps or extreemely HOT temps!

The question is, do you really want to find out?

well i wouldn't think freezing would be good for it.
extreme hot isn't good so i'm thinking extreme cold wouldn't be good either.

but as for the box temps..all mine says is avoid exposure to direct sunlight or storage for prolonged periods at temperatures above 100ºF

The polyurethan will suffer no ill-effects but the latex ones will be weakened.

BTW, thaw it out before you get too close!!
