I've never bought condoms

Is it really awkward or what? Do you ask the store assistants for advice on what condoms to buy or how does it work?

Signore Fancy Pants · 03-07-2021 4:38pm

You must be buying them for someone else.

Don't worry your little head about it.

Buy four boxes of condoms (various varieties) three containers of lube and two bath towels.
The other people will feel so awkward the awkwardness of buying condoms wont be an issue for you.

Condoms! Just get the lad to pull out of ya before he is done. Don't worry about STDs, just keep shouting 'No homo' while riding and that will prevent the cock rot

Go into a pharmacy, there'll be no qualms if you have any question.

The young one behind the counter will teach you how to put one on. Just ask

limericklad87 · 03-07-2021 4:49pm

Bring them to the counter and ask where the fitting room is and do they have 30 day money back guarantee

Fils · 03-07-2021 4:49pm

Try one on in the pharmacy first, boots offer a fitting service.

You just have to walk discretely to the counter and slap it out, they take a quick look and will tell you what you need fairly quickly.
Don’t put it up on the counter or anything, they don’t seem to like that.. just hold it on your hand and wave it a bit so they can see …

You try them on in the shop.

You have to book a sizing consultation first.
Any shops will take a booking.

OP if you heard some of the things that pharmacists hear on a daily basis, you wouldn't be worried.
Someone in our friend group works as a locum pharmacist, she's seen some shit, literally. They get all sorts, like fellas coming in with their willies wrapped in tissue paper, oozing some kind of putrid discharge, asking for help. I'm still barred from that place.

It's just a box of condoms, do a bit of googling on brands. The pharmacist isn't remotely interested.

Pauliedragon · 03-07-2021 5:05pm

Has Mr Feg made a cum back? Just buy some rubbers op the 1st packet you find. They all work just fine.

Purple Mountain · 03-07-2021 5:06pm

Ask the woman behind the counter to show you where the XL sizes are.

I look like a 'bro' but if that the personality of Mark Corrigan from Peep Show. Things like this are awkward for me.

You can buy condoms in Dunnes and Tesco. Just get them there with your grocery shopping.

Buy them in Tesco and use self service checkout. No need to interact with anyone.

Enjoy your posh ****.

Crisp packets for the win

Just explain to the pharmacist that you're a bro, show him all the women on your insta., etc to prove that you're not just after a posh ****. Awkwardness averted.

Next time you are in for a haircut just ask for something for the weekend.

Oh wait I just realised - its 2021 not the 1960s..

I went to a shop once and asked for a pack of johnnies. Girlie behind the counter asked me if they were cigarettes

Another time in UK an Indian lad behind the counter looked at me confused , paused for a whlie and then said "jiggy jiggy!"

I remember as a young man of that age .... my mother would go into the local boozer on a Saturday afternoon so I planned on calling in just to say hi after working my Saturday job .... it was just a ploy to go into toilets to get my wrappers .... God I was so nervous...watching to door and bar to see if there was anyone in toilets....

Like a military exercise I nearly knocked the bloody door in going in .... 1 pound coin at the ready.... .... prize in hand .... mission accomplished!!!!

Only stupid me left the dam things in my ars pocket and my mum washed my work pants and they came out in wash ...

Op.... just go to chemist ....

Oh .... and girl dumped me shortly after so didn't need them anyway.... ��

This could of been me…. First year in college, working part time in a shop and a lad asked for johnnies, straight up from the country and thinking I was down with the lingo in Dublin, I got him 20 John Player Blue .. he rolled his eyes and said johnnies again, and I went back and got him 10 John player blue, him grumbling for ffs under his breath.. back and forth it went … until he roared at me that I was a f’in eejit.. ….. he was right to be fair

Or even better, buy a 4 pack with a "happy birthday mum" card.

I've never bought condoms
