How many times can a condom be used?
Condoms can be used only ONCE, they should not be reused. After one use the condom looses its lubrication and elasticity and if reused it will not play its role of a protective barrier. Also, it may tear on reuse. It is believed that limited availability and high cost have led some women to reuse female condoms in some countries. It is recommended to use a new male or female condom for every act of intercourse.
