Yes β every condom has an expiry date. Over time the material can dry out and weaken, which makes it more likely to tear. Here is what you need to know.
The expiry date is printed on the box and on each individual wrapper, usually marked "EXP" followed by the date. Always check the wrapper, not just the box.
Shelf life depends on the material and any additives, and is set by the manufacturer. Latex condoms typically last a few years from manufacture; condoms with spermicide or special lubricants may have a shorter life. The printed date is the only reliable guide.
No. An expired condom is more likely to break or tear, so it may not protect against pregnancy or STIs. Throw it away and use a new one.
