  15. Does storage in extreme cold (-45 F or colder) hurt latex condoms?  
  16. That happens regularly in Alaska in cars, cabins that don't have 
  17. back-up heat, etc.
  18.  
  19. Spermicide instructions I've seen say to avoid freezing.  Does it 
  20. actually affect the effectiveness?

  22. Thanks, from -40 below!
