Can condoms be damage by heat

[DArwin]

Hello
I bought some condoms today and went home it was really hot outside today and had to ride a bike home from the store and one I go home and took them out, the box of them was a little warm is this an issue?

hi darwin,

condoms can indeed be damaged by prolonged exposure to heat, typically above 100 degrees fahrenheit for the condoms to sustain damage enough to make them unusable. it's ok for them to get warm for a small period of time, and so long as you don't leave them outside or in the car for a few days, they'll be fine!

Phantomdog is spot on here - getting a little warm briefly is no biggie, it's very high temperatures that are the problem. In fact, the box should have storage instructions on it, with a temperature range that you can check
