How old do u have to be to buy a condom then and how much do they cost? Also... if i ever asked my parents to take me to the store to buy a condom they wouldn't take me for 1... would probably question 2... and probably get angry at me 3... how would i do this?

Able to walk on 2 feet I guess? There's no age limit to buying condoms, but I guess the younger you are, the weirder it is for the cashier lol

As for the price, I'm not sure but I think like a 12 pack of condoms would be like 13 dollars? It depends what brand your buying from I guess.

I wouldn't want to ask your parents that lol They would probably wonder why you wanted a condom.

Umm you could try to biking or walking to a place that sells condoms then buy them with your own money.

Do you know how to put a condom on properly? You can buy them at any age, but they're useless if you don't know how to put them on properly.

If you really want your parents involved, just say that it's never too early to be prepared and you could use some practice getting them on.

But I'm asuming you don't want them to know, so just go to the store and buy some, there is no age limit on buying condoms.

Adam, I don't think you're quite ready for condoms. If you were to ask your folks now, my bet would be that they would either be amused or alarmed, which in either event wouldn't add much to your family life!

When you're ready, condoms are available at drug stores, Wal Mart, supermarkets. There's no age restriction, the check out people are not allowed to deny you their purchase. And the price depends on the brand, and the number per box, but they're not expensive. When the time comes, you will just walk into one of these stores and buy some, no big deal. Just read the directions first.

essasteph is a moderator and should know what the rules are and where she can/cannot post. Girls can post in the boys section and guys can post in the girls section because both can contribute. You are not the one to judge.


I have seen condoms way in the open at wal-mart. You don't have to be any certain age to buy them, you can just walk over to wal-mart and buy them. I don't know the costs though, just check them when you get there!

There is no age limit to purchasing condoms and they aren't really that expensive. Just go to your local drug store like CVS or Walgreen's and they will have them there. If you are too embarassed to bring them to the cashier just go to a gas station bathroom and there is usually a vending machine in there that sells condoms. Hope this answered your question.

If you're going to have sex, don't get condoms at gas station bathrooms!! Especially if they're not a good brand, i.e. trojan.
If they're some weird generic brand at the gas station bathroom, it's not safe and could break easily and then 9 months later congratz! You're a daddy! and you also may have herpes

You can sometimes find them for free at clinics in your town. I got mine from my sisters friend in college, they give them out like crazy there. My health teacher also gives them out.

You don't have to be a certain age.. It may just be akward for the cashier... or you could use self-checkout....

Hmmm, stemming off of this thread, I was recently told by a friend that [at least in my town] they stopped selling condoms to anyone under 18. My other friend heard about this and went to three different stores and tried to buy condoms and they asked him for ID to prove he was at least 18. 0.o But anyways, in most cases, there is no age requirement, and it's good that you want to be prepared in the future, but as Sam said, it doesn't seem as if you are quite ready for condoms yet.
