CDC to Americans: Don't reuse condoms!

[sprite75]

The CDC had to remind Americans that it's not a good idea to reuse condoms

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) in the US has tweeted a reminder to people to not wash and re-use condoms.

'We say it because people do it: Don't wash or reuse #condoms! Use a fresh one for each #sex act,' said the tweet on its CDC STD Twitter account.

Don't store condoms in your wallet as heat and friction can damage them. And don't use more than one at a time.

And remember, condoms are designed to be used once only. Washing them will not sterilize them and will seriously weaken their composite material. Dispose of them in the trash after you've used them!

Here's the original tweet

frankly i wish some people would reuse them instead of leaving them in parking lots and sidewalks. Yes, that happens around my sector. I ever saw a used tampon left on a sidewalk once.

Ugh, good Lord, seriously? People need to be told this?

Reminds me of a cartoon I saw in Penthouse, Hustler, or some similar men's mag back in the day, of a hillbilly kid saying "Wash out the rubber, Maw! I got a date tonight!"

Svengoolie 3 is correct. People have to be reminded of this. Especially, disposing of used condoms properly. I think there is hardly anything worse, when going camping, then finding an used condoms that were not disposed of properly all over the campground.
