when u r at a shop to buy condom pack.... n so many people standing there... how will u ask the shopkeepwe to avoid embrassement
There is no need to be embarrassed. Sex is perfectly normal and wanting to be safe is to be commended.
I used to get embarrassed about buying condoms, Tampons etc - but you will find that noone will even batter an eyelid at it - it's a very normal thing, so please please don't feel embarrassed.
Hi,
Depending on where you are located, their are some restrooms with condom machines. You can buy in privacy.
Of course, they are more expensive, being about $1 for one, here in our local area.
You can get over being embarrassed, by simply forcing yourself to pick up a box, walk up to the register, don't say anything, pay for them, and leave. It gets easier the second time. It's no ones' business but your own. Best of luck.
Well, you have to look at the alternative... do you think your embarrassment going to the doctor and explaining why in these days of high-risk, you had unprotected sex with someone and are now paying for it for the rest of your life???? Or, take a few seconds of your time to openly reveal to people that you are a healthy, sexually active person who is conscious of the risks and are doing something 'preventive' to secure your future health and that of others.
If the person behind the counter is a parent - I'm sure that they will respect you more for being cautious than someone who might be a danger to his/her children. Besides, in their job, they surely don't imprint your single purchase into their memory - even if so, you should not be concerned about what they think, but what you are doing for your own safety.
Once you know what brand you like, you can buy a big box so that you don't have to buy them as often. Not all brands fit the same, and some are much thinner than others, so you shouldn't buy a huge package until you've bought a smaller package and tried them first.
If they're keeping them behind the counter and there are a lot of people around, try to be specific when you ask for what you want...for example "a box of Durex spermicidal condoms" rather than "some rubbers" will cut down on how many questions the shopkeeper has to ask. Remember, the clerk at a store doesn't care if you're buying condoms or not and won't remember later on. The other people in the drugstore are there to buy equally embarrassing items...tampons, hemorrhoid cream, wart remover, pregnancy tests, etc...so they're not going to be studying what you're buying.
I will eventually have to make the hard decision as a parent weither to buy my child condoms or not. I can tell you this now I hope that I don't have to and that they wait untill they are older to have sex, but this day and age i'm not going to say they wont and i'm not going to say that I have any control over their decision to have sex, but I hope that I will have the kind of relationship with them that they can come to me and ask me questions. I guess what i'm trying to say is when in doubt ask a parent or someone you respect and then if your brave enough to have sex then you need to be brave enough to protect yourself from std's.
There is no need to be embarrassed, you just buy them. Also many stores Walmart, most drug stores at least in our areas have them just on the shelf.
Also for ladies out there, don't depend on the man to buy them, or buy a brand or type you may like, he does not use them alone ( words from a new commerical) while I am always for no sex outside of marriage, if you do, alwaYS use a condemn. And no shame in buying them.
Hi,
Why you are getting embarrassed while buying condoms. It is so natural now a days. If you are not feeling comfortable asking to the shopkeeper in front of other customers write it in a piece of paper and give to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper irrespective of their gender will understand your concern and will give you what you have asked as they are keeping it for sale. You can write even the brand name to avoid confusion.
