Condom

Every Olivia condom is ISO 4074 certified, undergoes not only an electronic pinhole test, but also multiple rigorous quality tests to ensure profound safety and reliability, including:

  • Bursting Test: It is to measure the condom strength. Keep the condom inflated until it bursts and the bursting pressure will be measured, which implies the amount of force that the condom can withstand.

  • Tensile Test: It is also to measure the condom strength. Slice a band from the shaft of the condom and stretches until it breaks. The force required to break the condom and the amount of elongation at breakage will be measured.

  • Water Leak Test (Hanging Test): It is to detect the pinholes on the condom. It involves filling a condom with water and visually checking for leaks.

  • Water Leak Test (Rolling Test): It involves the hanging condom used in the previous test. Tie its base and roll it over the absorbent paper with hand pressure. Any stains on the absorbent paper will imply that there are pinholes on the condom. It is possible to discover holes that the previous test cannot detect.

Generally, the shelf life (storage period) of Olivia condoms is five years (upon completion of production). For the actual storage period, please refer to the date printed on the pack.
