    That's what the retailers in Ireland are depending on when they are applying their ridiculous markups... That site looks perfectly respectable and you can get all the premium brand product for a third less than in the shops. Now, if they were only selling one type, you might worry that it was a job lot of old stock, but that's not the case here.

    I can't see a huge saving myself.

    For example Durex 12 Pack 9.99 and 2.50 for delivery. I paid 15 for this in the pharmacy. I'm sure theres savings in there somewhere Don't think its worth the hassle, especially with that batch of counterfeit johnnys a year or 2 ago. Might be handy if your too embarassed to go to the pharmacy and buy some:p

    Boots always have a 3 for 2 offer on 12 packs so thats usually the cheapest way of buying them

    Yep, just gonna say Boots 3 for 2 is the best way to get them cheap. This offer is on in Boots a few times a year. They usually have Mates condoms 3 for 2 as well. I like them because they're cheaper and better than Durex; Mates Natural are shaped and comfy.

    36 condoms is a bit much though surely? Unless you're using them with the gf which shouldn't be necessary.

    I can't even get started on what's wrong with this post..

    I can't remember the name, but there's an Ebay shop where I got 24 for €7.50 or suchlike..

    What?

    What? do you think is more effective preventing pregnancy, condoms or the pill? I'll give you a clue, it's not the pill.

    As for getting cheap condoms...you can get a 100 pack for something like €22 plus the €2.50 for shipping. So that works out around 25c per condom, alot cheaper than the 3 for 2 in boots.

    I bought a 100 pack of condoms off smart paddy there some months back. Have been motoring through them with the gf and have had no rips/tears which is more than I can say for durex. I got the billy boy brand.

    I went for the scented/flavoured ones thinking it would be a bit of variety, but they're all strawberry flavour so...

    works out at like 36cent a condom so its perfect.

    I bought a Mates 144 pack from Smartpaddy a few months back! :D

    Think they only cost about €45, and they're fine, zero problems.

    Must admit this seems like a great deal, P&P is just €2.50 as well. I'd love to get some but they're out of stock of extra large. :D

    from experience cheap condoms usually rip, if your that hard up go to the family planning centre and get some free ones. I've seen loads of people selling on ebay before... they probably prick them with a needle :D

    The main reason the condoms cost less (I won't say cheap again!) is that you generally buy them in bulk, not that the condoms themselves are cheap quality.

    You'd use a condom every time you have sex with your gf? Anyway, sorry for hijacking the thread.

    meh! no harm getting them from that site if you ask me,at least they take laser cards,and like above,if you are too embarrassed to go to a store this takes the edge off and ensures safety when your having some fun!

    i can never understand the Irish mentaility. people thinking that the quality is poor just because there cheap. Once they carry the kite mark and the other usal standards there all the same. i got 100 of the comdomi ones have use them all and she's not pregant i can say they are 100% efffective :)

    serioulsy Irish people would prefer to pay way over the odds for things, so they thik their getting quality
