buying condoms...
| Sat, 05-20-2006 - 10:14am |
This may sound stupid.. but i have to buy condoms for the first time and first of all i have no idea which one to choose, there are like 20 different varieties in my supermarket, and second, i live in a small city and i'm sure i'll either meet someone i know while paying or the cashier will have some comment to make ! Geez i know i seem paranoiac, but i can't help feeling embarrassed about this. Please tell me i'm not the only one or give me some advice !

Hi laury_smile, welcome!

I go to a small convience store where a man who barely speaks English is always working at the counter when I need to buy condoms. I make sure the others around me are strangers.
I don't know how small your town is, maybe you don't have small convience stores with foregin men at the counter. Could you drive to the next town over? I'm 17, but people who don't know me think I'm 10/11 because I'm little. The looks are awkward, but it's not as bad as you'd imagine. Hope that helped.
I always buy mine at a grocery store that has a self check out. good luck

Even into my late 20's I felt a little awkward about buying condoms, but I also felt awkward about buying tampons too.
