1. Carefully check the registration number and production date

According to relevant laws and regulations in my country, condoms are medical devices. The format of the registration number on the boxes of these condoms is fixed. The specifications of fake condoms are often different from those of regular products, and the production date is often inconsistent with the printed one. It is easy for ordinary people to detect it without looking carefully.

2. Look at the packaging and labels

Counterfeit brand condoms cost only a few cents, and the packaging cost is more expensive than the goods. But it will also leave clues that indicate inferior quality, such as obvious stains on the packaging or spots of suspicious liquid. In addition, the aluminum foil packaging of regular brand condoms is usually printed with fine patterns, factory address, production batch number, expiration date, etc.

3. Look at the quality

Regular condoms have a natural latex smell and are generally milky white in color. If they are brown or black and smell bad, they are undoubtedly fake. Regular condom materials will also be better. If you find bubbles, impurities, etc. on the latex film, it is better to be cautious.

4. Don’t buy online

You can’t see anything sold online, and the price is much cheaper than in supermarkets and pharmacies. Not to mention that you can’t buy genuine products online, but most of them are fake. If you want to buy it with confidence, it is recommended to buy it in supermarkets and pharmacies, or go to online stores directly operated by merchants.

5. Big brands are more likely to be counterfeited

Products with higher brand awareness are more likely to be counterfeited. Although there are many counterfeit products made in China, when it comes to condoms, it is more reassuring that they are made in China. You can buy condoms with good reputation. It should be noted that you should buy condom brand products that have been in production for a long time, preferably ten years. It is not recommended to buy condom products that have just been released on the market. After all, they are not yet mature.
