I’m on the pill
but he did cum inside me. Before putting the condom on for the second time, he washed it well and filled it with water to check for holes or tears. Fortunately that was not the case.
What are ALL the consequences of ‘reuse condom’?
Answer
A condom may only be used once. Rinsing with water reduces the firmness with the risk of (small) cracks as a result. viz. the risk of unwanted pregnancy increases, which is not relevant when using the pill. The condom also protects against sexually transmitted infections. It is not known whether rinsing completely removes the potentially present infectious material, and the above-mentioned reduced strength poses a risk of reuse. If in this case there were no cracks after the second use, the risk of infection can be regarded as very low, without being able to put a number on it.
Although it is better to wear a (recycled) condom than none at all, it is strongly not recommended to use a flushed condom. Better to engage in other forms of safe sex when stocks run out. If you are still worried, a visit to your doctor can be recommended.
