Contraception for money
Protect Yourself
Boo. You should really be getting your contraception; condoms or anything else; for free.
If you insist on paying you might as well get it right though.
Remember
The right marks - condoms must have the BSI Kitemark or the European CE mark, or they are only fit for novelty purposes!
What to look for
3 easy steps:
-
The kite mark or CE mark - everytime!
-
Make sure it's in date - look for the expiry date!
-
Make sure it's not already opened!
Go somewhere good
Not the pub toilet!
Okay, so you've pulled when your out and your only option is the condom machine in the toilet. It'll do this time but why aren't you carrying one of the free ones you get with the c-card?
Better places to buy condoms are pharmacies. They can also give you advice and are usually cheaper than picking up a pack down the pub.

Other free contraception...

Contraception for free
Protect Yourself
You've probably seen how expensive condoms are in a shop or even worse from a pub toilet.
Well there are other ways of getting condoms - and if you know where to go you can get them for free.
If you want free condoms you can get hold of a C-Card from Barnsley CASH. With this card you can grab 6 free condoms from any of the 24 collection points around Barnsley.
Also you can get free condoms from the GUM clinic, Queens Road Clinic and other NHS services.
