buying condoms

[hunter.johns98]

so im 15 can i walk into a store and buy condoms or do i need an adult to get them and also if i am aloud to get them its embarrassing have any of you ever said to your self "ok im going to do it" and as soon as you touch the handle you stop and leave?

Surprisingly, most stores will not prohibit the purchase of condoms for people our age. No adult supervision required.

This is at least in my area.

You should be able to get them, if they dont allow it, try your local health departments. Around here, the health depts will give you them for free.

As far as i know you can buy condoms. You could buy them in a supermarket at least here in Portugal they sell them too. Its not embarrassing but if you are not comfy buying them you could go to a store away from were you live since nobody would know you there.

just ask a friend for some.. Thats what i do haha

It really depends on the country you live in and store policy.

There is no legal age here in Scotland but many stores have a "In store" policy that they won't sell condoms to people under the age of 16.

I'm not sure where you live, but if you are somewhere in America, then buying condoms is not a big deal. Just go to a store with self checkout lanes and use those to buy the condoms. Most people really don't care about condoms, and folks would rather you buy them than practice unsafe sex or make babies while you are still a teen.

Ya. The self check-out thing is a good idea

US law requires that condoms be supplied to everyone with no age restrictions.

If you're nervous about the cashier, you can use a vending machine. They are typically found in men's bathrooms in Gas Stations. They typically look like this:

You don't need an adult to buy them for you. If you're uncomfortable/worried the cashier will give you a weird look:
1) Get over it.
2) They really won't care, and if you don't shop there often (or there's many employees), you probably won't see them again.
3) If you're really, really uncomfortable, you can try finding a place with a Self Checkout stand (Like a CVS, Walgreens or Safeway).

You could buy it in a distributor

What could be sillier idea than prohibiting condoms from certain age group? It would lead to unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. If there are countries where there are restrictions I would say legislators in that country are stupid.

i can just go ask for a condom if i need it

[Lodan]

I don't think it will a problem for you to buy them

I'm 15 and I litterally just got back from buying them... The last time I went the cashier was a younger girl so it wasn't awkward at all.. This time it was an older man which was less comfortable than the girl... But I know I'm never gonna see him again so who really cares

[WALLE]

if you feel embarrassed about buying them, get birthday card along with them that's what i always do

[GeorgeBoy]

ask a older one to buy you

I'm not sure if self service checkouts in supermarkets is common elsewhere in the world, but what I used to do when I had a sex life was buy them at the supermarket and go through self service and nobody would see. As far as I know there are no age requirements, but as others have said, that could vary country by country.

I'm in England and I just walked straight into Asda picked some up and went to the self checkout, that made it a little less awkward, then I went through the security thing and it set it off but all they did was check my receipt and let me leave, so basically next time I would do the same and just get them to check the receipt again to save awkwardness

There's no legal age to buy condoms.. A friend of mine bought them when he was 12 for a dare

[steve21]

you can buy them on ur own. go to a store with self checkout its soo much less awkward.
