Feeling Leery...Condom Query
If I go into the convenience store restroom and purchase a condom from the "Personal Care" vending machine, is it safe to use? For example, is it more prone to breakage than brand name condoms like Trojan or Durex? It kind of scares me that I don't know where they've been..they may have been in a hot truck for hours and be very weak from the the temperature. And if my fears are justified, are there any places I can get affordable, discreet and safe condoms? Thanks a bunch!

All condoms have to meet the same FDA standards, so in terms of safety there really is no difference between condoms. As long as they have not expired, they're good to go! (Using some extra lube also helps reduce the risk of breakage.)
