Condoms Have An Expiration Date: Just like your favourite snack and anything else, condoms have an expiration date. Although condoms have a shelf life of about four to five years, stores that sell them don’t necessarily pay attention to exactly when they expire, so it’s important that you do. If you’re trying to use a condom that has expired, it begins to lose its strength and flexibility, and is more likely to break. Condoms can also lose their effectiveness over time, making you susceptible to STDs or the chance of pregnancy. Pay attention to the date on the box and throw out and replace old condoms.
