would putting water in a condom before you use it to see if there are any holes wear it down and make it less effective at all?

Yes. The water can dry the condom and cause friction that can create a hole

Yes because then you have to unroll it. And you never want to put on an unrolled condom. Itll break easier

Most likely no. As long as the water pressure is very low and the water is clean all should be well.

it would dissolve the spermicide within the condom. Most condoms are made with spermicide, an agent that kills sperm. So Yes it will have an effect on the safety of the condom.

I don't think so because they test the condoms with air and water to make sure you are safe

No but doing that just before application could certainly be a buzz kill.

in all seriousness, the answer is yes, it will make it less effective. Condoms are spread with spermicidal jelly, and you'd be washing it off.

Yup
It'll wear it down and cause friction and creating a hole which means accidental pregnancy.

just make sure the condom wrapper is in tact and not ruined, and make sure the comdom is fairly new
