Can Condoms Block Drains?
While condoms are mostly made of latex, which is a biodegradable material, they can still cause problems like blockages. This is because condoms often contain non-biodegradable materials, such as semen and lubricant. When these materials build up in drains, they can block the flow of water and cause clogs.
In addition, condoms can break down into small pieces that can clog filters and pipes. As a result, it’s important to be careful about how you dispose of condoms. The best way to avoid problems is to wrap them in paper or another biodegradable material before throwing them away.
