Embarrassed about buying condoms

The shop I was in didn't have self service but I think I will find somewhere that does. Thanks for the advice.

You can get free condoms from my college :P Plus they have so many different flavours so yeah maybe ask your college?

Be careful of quality, a few of us had the free ones from uni split. Better to shell out for durex really!

Remember that the cashier/shop assistants who see you will sell, probably daily, the following items:

Condoms
Lube
Female Sanitary Products
Diarrhea medication
Constipation medication
Moist toilet wipes
Pregnancy tests
Water infection/thrush medicine

And if a pharmacy/well stocked supermarket:
Headlice treatments
Piles cream
Athletes foot medicine
Products for smelly feet

They will not care that you are buying condoms. And if it's mildly embarrassing (natural as you are sharing something about your personal life with a stranger) then it's only for a short while. Just do it.

Did you check they were in date? I got some from the LGBTQ+ room on campus once which were out of date. But all condoms sold (and I guess therefore ones handed out for free) have to have a kitemark on them to prove they're safe.

Yeah they definitely were, even top quality condoms can break, it's a lot of friction pressure on a thin layer of rubber (I always used to think this was guys humble bragging about their dick size as you can get one over your arm, but mine is bang average and I had them break twice). Obviously this isn't advisable for people having casual sex because of disease, but we actually found the pull out method better.

Don't you have to be sixteen, so the thing will buzz and call a staff member over?

First time I bought condoms, the middle aged female check out girl giggled.

Where is the best place to buy condoms? Next week i will be losing my virginity but when I go in the shop to buy condoms it feels like everyone is staring. I don't even know what type to buy because I didn't know there were as many different types as there are. What type is best to buy if I want everything to go well and be as enjoyable as possible and so there is little chance of the condom splitting? Where is the best place to buy condoms?

The size of a condom is the girth so you need to make sure you get the right size. Also lube.

Did you store them in the right conditions? Cool place. Protected from friction. Etc.

Ohh I didn't think about that! Aww xD

Well I dunno but I'd say my girth is pretty average too! I never felt condoms were a problem in that way. Different sizes aren't readily available anyway. Never used lube, but I've never seen the need for vaginal if the girl is properly wet.

Nope in my wallet, which I know could be the problem, though I did rotate, as this was when I had a girlfriend they could have been there long, kept them in the box aside from that.



Yeah I was eighteen but looked very young for it. Not great for my confidence...
