Q&A About...Men's Lifestyle

Q: Why must I wrap the used condom in tissue and throw it in a trash bin, instead of throwing the condom directly in the water closet? ( bicarbonate 28-08-2002 )

A: Condoms are made with flexible latex (rubber). If they are thrown directly into the water closet, they may clog certain plumbing. Therefore, the proper way of disposal is to wrap used one in tissue paper and throw it in a bin.
