You Should Never Keep Condoms In Your Pocket; A lot of people really do this because they seem to think condoms are indestructible, and so they don’t give a second thought to where they keep them. The truth is condoms can rip or tear easily. Even in the packaging, sometimes that little rip can be so small that you don’t even notice it (but sperm will!). Between sitting down, moving around, and the fabric moving against your body, the friction is enough to wear through the packaging and get to the condom, especially if it’s on the older side. You’re better off keeping your condom in a drawer or a small compartment in a handbag where they won’t constantly be rubbing against something.
