Washing or reusing a condom is definitely not a sound practice, but it looks as though there are still many who do it. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in America warns everyone not to do so anymore.

It's no secret that using condoms is a healthy practice. Not only because it prevents any unforeseen pregnancy but is also an effective way against sexually transmitted infections such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and so on. And since it's a healthy practice, we need to know the way the condom is used correctly.

So if you ask whether you can wash it to reuse a condom, the answer is NO. And maybe that is why the Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning a few days ago to all people who wash or reuse condoms. It seems incredible and almost scary, but here's the "people do that". "We say, because people do this: Do not wash or use condoms! Use a new one for every sexual act", - is written in the official profile of the Twitter Center.

After this post, people started "having fun" on the network by reacting shockingly to this way that is clearly understandable.

"Every act of mischief requires a new condom," says Dr. Shailesh Chandra Sahay, Urologist and Consultant at Max Hospital (Patparganj, New Delhi): "Condoms use condoms are not advisable." After using the condom, the latex is damaged, which may not be visible to the naked eye it may not be useful to prevent unwanted pregnancies or sexually transmitted infections.When using a condom used, you can not check the expiration date, so you do not know when it was produced. "

"There is no way to guarantee protection against pregnancy if the condom is used once, is washed and replaced," said Dr Alyssa Dweck, a certified obstetric gynecologist.

Both of these ways show the same fact. Washing a condom or reusing an old one can make the purpose of its ineffective use. "You should use the condom in the way that the manufacturer has thought and tested - if you do not, you can not rely on the condom to prevent undesirable surprises," Dweck said.
