are condoms that are sold in the restroom as good or protective as name brand condoms?

All the condom dispensers I have seen have those off brand condoms and I would not allow any guy to use that on me if I didn't want to get pregnant/STDs. Spend a few more dollars, get some good ones and cary them with you.

As long as it's not expired you should be fine. DO NOT KEEP IT IN YOUR WALLET! It will cause the condom to break and stick together then your back at square one!

You get what you pay for and when it comes to protecting me I want the best. So if I find a guy is trying to save money on condoms he can take a hike.

I would say Yes, but I had a friend who worked at a gas station that had that and he said they all poked holes in them all the time! scary, check it really good first but i would say they are all the same

Like crash helmets and childrens toys, condoms have to meet certain standards to be sold. The FDA has standards they have to meet.
I suppose the other question is whether they would be old or have been mishandled to make them more unreliable - but that's as likely for condoms sold anywhere. Do you have a guess how many are sold each month at that location?
Anyway, you're still safer than if you do nothing.

Usually they are the name brands....just check it out first before buying ( usually a picture of the brand name on the outside of the vending machine)....if you don't trust it than go to the store and buy a brand that you are comfortable with.

The machines usually carry name brands. If you are concerned, keep some in your wallet so that you are prepared.

check for expiration date, flavored ones are best.
