Frequently Asked Questions

This is a great question! It can be overwhelming to purchase condoms when there are so many options to choose from. In the United States, companies who manufacture and sell condoms must follow the Food and Drug Administration's safety standards. The key is to ensure condoms have not been stored in very hot environments, been stored in your wallet for a long time, or are expired. When used correctly and consistently, condoms across the board have the same level of effectiveness, regardless of brand.
