There is no age limit to buying condoms; and the most well-known (and safest) brands are Durex and Trojan, I think...

I find it awkward walking into a store and buying them, I mean, in the place I want to try and buy them the guy there asks for your age for everything, he wouldn't let my friend buy this energy drink (not Red Bull), because he wasn't 18... Now that's stupid... But yeah... I know where I can get condoms (I have a friend who'll give 'em to me free), but first I need a reason to have condoms. But anyways.. back on topic, yeah... you can get them at CVS, 7/11, basically any mart/market/supermarket/drug store/etc. And the best brand (although I've never used one before), based on what I've heard, is probably Trojan.

You can usually get them from the supermarket, pharmacy, Planned Parenthood. The safest brand in my opinion is Durex. :D

First of all, it is illegal in the US to refuse condoms (or anything other than known legally restricted items like booze, tobacco products, or porn) to anyone because of age. Your corner convienence store manager is not in a position to discriminate based on his own sense of morality.

Ok. All condoms are basically the same, the difference really being lubed or unlubed, and receptacle end or plain end. it's a matter of preference. All condoms are tested before they leave the factory (on a machine, silly!). There are directions in the box. You should not keep condoms in excessively warm places as it weakens the latex. And one size fits all.

Although I personally think 13 is too young for sex, and I think that if you're too embarassed to buy them from a total stranger, then you're also probably too young to have sex. Think about that, if you cannot tolerate a little anxiety buying condoms (with all your clothes on), then there's a good chance that same anxiety will interfere with your ability to perform, and enjoy sex. So much for the rant.

That said, remember that the counter person at the local CVS or supermarket is working 8 hours, passing many hundreds of items over that scanner thingy. Do you really think they're going to stop and notice that one box of condoms? nah. And if they do, so what?

If you're going to have sex, regardless of your age (or the anxiety), always wear a condom.
