There will be no spermicide left on the condom after the first use. This will not protect you from STD or Pregnancy. Get a new condom, they are for once use only.

I searched until my fiance slapepd me about this and couldnt find any definative answer. I do know a few things about latex and trying to put condoms on if they "fall off" and here's the deal.
1. If you wash it out the condom gets all sticky and hard to put back on anyway
2. The latex gets thinner and tears a lot easier after a good run
3. Getting a condom on that isn't rolled up all nice and neat is a pain you end up with a nice balloon effect that isnt too comfortable
4. Your partner will probably be a little grossed out
I wish i could have found more solid info. Here are a few condom saftey sites for you though

ps Bulk Condoms on Ebay are mega cheap I buy them maybe 2 times a year and at a great discount like under 20 bucks for 100 or so. At that price you can get all kinds of cool styles ;)

No it is not safe at all. If you reuse used condoms it comes with a greater risk of poping and you becoming pregnant. Or if someone else useses it after another person you both run a great risk of contracting an STD. If you can't afford them ask your ob/gyn for A baggie full because you can't afford them. Make sure the guy or you always have condoms plenty of them. No glove no love

It is not safe. While years ago they did make sheep skin condoms that could be washed and reused , the variety of STDs we have today makes that practice a thing of the past. Also the condoms are more likely to tear if you attempt to reuse them. For sanitary and safety reasons NO you can not reuse a condom. Besides they are not that expensive and if you know you are getting low buy more before you need them.

No. It's not safe. The integrity of the rubber has been comprimised thus making it weaker and much more likley to break. Like blowing up a baloon over and over it the rubber gets stretched out and thinner. Don't do it!

It's not safe.
If you want to know why... take a ballon... blow it up, and then punch it about for a few minutes... and then let the air out. You'll see that the latex in the ballon is now stretched and deformed.
Condoms are thinner and not as strong... re-using it is just an invitation to push it PAST it's tensile strength, and risking a breakage.
And, besides... ew... it's used!

Gross! Why would you want to? They get weakened with use. It isn't like they cost much. Quit being cheap and stay safe.

It is safe, just wash them out in between uses. I use the dishwasher.

Gross. It isn't safe. Would you reuse toilet paper or q-tips or save your mouthwash to use for next time? No!
