    Protip for anybody who carries condoms:

    The typical condom should ideally be kept for less than an hour in your wallet, pocket, or purse.

    Condoms that are constantly moved or rubbed against each other can cause wear and tear, making them less effective. Extreme heat (around 104°F/40°C) can cause latex to become weak and sticky.

    Not sure on the accuracy but it’s been good advice since at least the 90’s to not use a condom that has been kept in a wallet for more than a day.
