Condoms, any substitutes

[Eskimo]

Hi,

Does anyone no of any free substitues for condoms, any help would be great.

[Fractual_]

grocery bags with rubber bands tied around them.

[keng123]

cling wrap?

[miabubble]

lots of babies :)

[Mintaoism]

The're only a quid mate, thats not all that expensive... plus cling film tears much easier and grocery bags...hmm yeah put your furture in a 1p food carrier...

and i heard the the pill is 100% effective...might just use that..

[torz]

the pill is not 100% safe, please dont give out false information.

if you want condoms love, there are places that provide them to teenages for free. GUM clinics, sexual health clinics which normally have a youth clinic department within for people under 21y/o, dont go & try & make your own, condoms are tested for strength, are covered in spermiside to kill the sperm & are made from a non porous material to prevent STI's.
also, if you dont have any Sexual health clinics that provide you with free condoms then,

go to your parents, explain that your growing, maturing etc, i'm sure they'll understand. go to a PSE teacher or school nurse, or just go to the drug store, dont look embarresed or nervous, go in confidently, pick up the packet, put them down on the counter & hand over money looking confident, holding head high & all that, good luck.

What about black bags

[Fractual_]

cling film and grocery bags instead of condoms?

are you serious?

loluhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yaaaa

[MamaTheLama]

homeless shelters, teen crisis centers, abortion clinics, health departments all give away free condoms

also try http://freecondoms.com you have to "click for condoms" but it doesn't take more than 2 hours to click enough to get 20 free condoms (been there,done it), and they even have flavored ones :-D

Birth control is approximately 98% effective, and the 2% it isn't effective in is people who don't take it regularly and when they are supposed to. If you take it how you are supposed to it's over 99% effective.

[AutumnAuburn]

I suppose you could use balloons...

[xaosflux]

abstinance :p

[HentaiGirl21]

It's unsafe to use things that are made for sexual purposes, such as balloons or grocery bags. There's still the chance to contract STIs (sexually transmissible infections) or cause a pregnancy (holes or pores in the bags).

If you know you and your partner are STI free, you can use spermicide (many uses in one tube!), a female condom, or a diaphragm. These will only help prevent against pregnancy, not against the spread of STIs.

Condoms are the only thing that protect against both.

But why substitute the condom? They're fun with all their colors, flavors, and textures! It's the best invention ever!


Sorry if I come off a certain way, but I worry about the people that might give you false information! Hope this helps!

[nightmarehippygirl]

lots of babies :)
rofl, this is true. as everyone has stated, many places will hook you up with free condoms, if you ask. it's not that big of a deal. otherwise, buy some! they aren't that expensive,( a helluva lot less than children cost...). give up sodas or cigs for a day or two and use the money to buy some.

as cheesy and parental as it sounds, if you aren't willing/able to buy condoms, you probably shouldn't be having sex.
(omg, did i just say that....i sound so old, lol)

[shutterfly]

You can get 'em for free from any clinic like Planned Parenthood.

[pandiebeer]

I'm thinking that if you can't afford condoms you probably can't afford a baby so you may want to go with 100% abstinance -just to be safe :D

[vanilla]

If you are in a monogamous relationship, the pill's good.

[wiggy]

did people used to use lambs stomach or something? like ages ago personally i wouldnt like to trust that method,

[Green]

Condom stops STDS, or do you want a contraceptive?

[stonr]

no sex

[SkeeterVT]

Hi,

Does anyone no of any free substitues for condoms, any help would be great.
You CAN'T be serious. The only 100 percent effective alternative to condoms for the prevention of unwanted pregnancy and the spread of disease is abstinance.


So the choice is yours: Either swallow your macho pride and get used to using condoms -- or, if abstinance isn't a viable alternative for you, limit your sexual activity to masturbation. There are NO OTHER OPTIONS.

"No glove, no love!"

The pill is free isn't it? And its only 98% effective if taken correctly. The other 2% of the time it just doesn't work, all by itself. There are only a few days a month a woman can actually get pregnant. Isn't there some way you can actually work that out (for free - obviously there are machines and testing thingys you can buy that will do that too)?

[purple grass]

free substitues?
just don't have sex.
that's free, and the only 100% effective way of not getting pregnant or STD's.

[Wonder Girl]

There is the no sex option...but if you want to have sex,you need to atleast use a condom. That's your only hope of being protected against STD's.
Where I live,in the US....condoms,the pill,the shot,and most other types of birth control are all free. You can give a donation if you like,but you don't have to. It's worth your time,to go get some protection. For your own safety and for your partner's safety.

[FlyingBurritoBro]

abstinance :p
what's that?

[AT98BooBoo]

Try Microsheer Polyurethane condoms. They're stronger than latex condoms and they feel 10X better. They are slightly more expensive than latex but the extra money is worth it. Shelling out a few $'s for a condom is a whole lot cheaper than raising a child or treating a disease.

yep, you get like 60 everytime you go!

[WishIWasAHippie]

Everyone that has ever told me they went on birthcontrol always stopped cause they said they became, "Chubby and bitchy" haha...I don't know if it was the birth control that made them bitchy or they just became bitchy cause they were gaining weight haha...oh well...I thought that stuff was expensive anyway?

Well...just swallow your pride and buy a condom...and if you think it's awkward to put on a condom (IE I've heard some people say, "It ruins the moment") well then you shouldn't be having sex with that person if you don't have a sense of humor about it haha

[hiro]

abstinance :p

The best one said yet. Planned parenthood doesn't give stuff away for free either.

Shelling out a few $'s for a condom is a whole lot cheaper than raising a child or treating a disease.Not only are polyurethane condoms -- which are much stronger than latex condoms -- more expensive, they're also not as readily available as latex condoms. Here in Vermont, where I live, polyurethane condoms are hard to come by. Even more difficult to find are the Monistat condoms for women.

I strongly suspect that political pressure by the Christian Right has a LOT to do with this.
