Buying condoms - how do you do it?

[marshlander]

You carry on insisting, Australia. You may be lucky many times, but you only have to be unlucky once. It's your health and your body. You're in charge.

Your comments about not seeing people buy them are interesting. I've seen plenty of people just put them in their supermarket trolleys ... interesting that it is often women who buy the condoms in supermarkets.

Here in the UK most gay pubs and clubs will have free condoms and lube in a sweetie jar somewhere, although these should probably only be used when you have no option to buy them. They are generally provided by local charities who have to raise their funding from somewhere.

Some hospitals and health clinics have commercial enterprises and sell condoms for less money over the web and I can't imagine that any of those companies would expect return custom if they advertised the contents of the package on the outside! Some health charities even undertake to send you stuff for free if you live in their area.

Could you have your parcel sent to a friend's address? Perhaps one who doesn't have to be concerned about what the parents might think?

Most supermarkets in North America now have a self-checkout aisle where you don't have to deal with a cashier. Its nice when you are buying things like condoms and lube :biggrin:

One time my flatmate and i got horrendously drunk at about 2 in the afternoon (and it's OKAY because i'm a dirty, drunkard student hehe) and did our weekly shop even though we were clearly steamboats.com

We managed to find 'red hot meatballs' for 69p (and nearly peed ourselves laughing at them) and bought condoms, a cucumber and a length of hose seperately.

I know, highbrow humour at it's very best...

We didn't get a reaction out of the cashier though, working in a shop teaches you to stop judging customers (while they're THERE, bitching is fair game if noone's around) and be professional untl they leave. No doubt tea break was one long lolfest at our expense though...

OMG, that is so funny. Why do they do that? Maybe to advertise things. As you watch the list roll by you think OMG, I FORGOT MY CONDOMS TOO!?!?!?! Man, you Brits are weird and I love weird

Over here it has become a very convenient experience, these self-checkouts... the screens are turned toward the customer and is very private. I rarely use a live cashier as I am sure that I can bag my stuff more proper than the handsome young men...

Being in a long term relationship and having been checked for EVERYTHING dont need condoms except for something different... but as others have said, while living in San Francisco there was always some place to pick up free condoms of a great variety.

Thoroughly, if wistfully, approving of LTRs ... it's just the LDR that's a bit of a pain
