Are condoms from vending machines any good?

Are condoms from vending machines any good?

It depends. Vending machine condoms may be OK:

• If you know you are getting a latex condom
  
  
• If they are labeled for disease prevention
  
  
• If you know the spermicide (if any) is not outdated
  
  
• If the machine is not exposed to extreme temperature and direct sunlight.
