    badges and stickers eh? sounds like i've been doing it wrong all along

    • +17

      well, a correctly placed sticker could prevent STI's ;)

      • +44

        But don't reuse them or you may get an STI (Sticker transmitted Infection)

      • +9

        A correctly placed sticker could ensure no sex ever again. Especially if it has a politically correct slogen from some stupid focus group.

        • Can't we all take this seriously!?

          This is ejaculately what they're trying to prevent!

        • Oh dear.

        • Damn dude, you got flamed!

        • I'm 12 for 12 my man.

    • +1

      Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I've never 'been' with a safe before…

      • What's in the safe?

    • +1

      Awkward Facebook liking is awkward:

      …definitely doing it wrong.

  • I'm curious, do people ever pay for condoms? Every single uni open day or seminar gives them out like free candy and most campus medical centres have bowels of them on the counter. Combine this with freebies from public awareness campaigns like this, I've never had to suffer the embarrassment of bringing a box to a counter.

    • +2

      Yeah, cos having sex is really embarassing…..:/

      Depends on how many you go through I guess.

    • +35

      Yes, of course they do. Not everyone's a uni student, and really, you shouldn't feel embarrassed buying condoms. I would personally feel pretty embarrassed constantly taking free condoms from a uni medical centre, though. :/

      • +11

        But isn't that what OzBargains all about?

        • +1

          "OzBargain - Please take one condom and pass the bowl along"

    • +14

      The free ones are always rubbish though. Might as well cut the finger off a dishwashing glove and use that.

      • +86

        you fit in a glove finger? ;)

        • Yeah that why he has the handle: Back Side Slappy!!

        • you fit in a glove finger? ;)

          Unthinkable………

      • +1

        I agree with the free = rubbish… I mean really they're not that expensive… Even if you "double bag".

        • +19

          Real men use glad wrap

      • +3

        The free ones are just the bog standard Durex, Medium size you buy in stores. Only they get them in bulk and hand them out.

    • +2

      You seriously think taking free condoms from a counter is less embarrassing than getting one from a store? Notwithstanding self checkouts.

      • +22

        taking your girl to get a morning after pill is more embarrassing, just sayin :)

        • +2

          well the whole idea of the morning-after pill is to make it easily accessible to anyone lest the embarrassment factor deters anyone from getting them. you still gotta ask for it though ;)

        • Getting the morning after pill isn't that bad. See the GP. Go to the pharmacy. No different than getting antibiotics.

        • +3

          Not getting the morning after pill because it's too embarrassing and then finding out a couple of months later that she's pregnant is even more embarrassing…

        • +3

          not wanting a child was all the motivation I needed to get me through it

        • Youre only supposed to use the morning after pill like 3-4 times in a lifetime. Its not like taking antibiotics

        • +2

          You can actually just skip the GP and head straight to the pharmacist. They can give it out after determining eligibility by asking a few questions/having the girl fill in a form (depends on the place). :)

        • +2

          really? what happens if you take it 5 times?

        • +1

          Not much if it's like 1 a year for 5 years, the main points are:
          There are no long-term effects of emergency contraception, or any serious side effects. Frequent use may cause periods to become irregular and unpredictable. Emergency contraception should not be used as a form of ongoing birth control because there are other forms of birth control that are a lot more effective and less expensive.

        • please change your nick to "DrJed" - great explanation for the young OzBargainers

        • -1

          Unless you live in a country town where self-righteous pharmacists place their religious delusions above the needs of the people they're meant to be providing a healthcare service to.

        • I had a Dr actually say you should only take it a couple of times ever. Its supposed to be pretty serious stuff a really strong version of the pill and he said it wasnt good for your body to take it too many times. Anyway just thought I should mention it

        • Use that argument on halal kebab shops, then we'll talk.

    • +2

      Taking alot of free condoms is one thing, using them appropriately is another!

      • -1

        You shouldn't be taking the condoms, they're for putting on your cucumber

    • +4

      sounds like you have an active love life….

      • +1

        I was thinking the same, maybe a free condom a month is enough for him ;)

    • +26

      bowels of them on the counter

      yuk

    • +3

      I'm curious, do people ever pay for condoms? Every single uni open day or seminar…

      Not everyone is at uni.

      • +3

        I'm not at uni but I still get it there. just saying. ..

      • You don't need to be a student to get showbags. Ditto with their medical centres which serve the surrounding community, not just students. In fact, most medical centres in college towns do this, even if they're not affiliated with the institution.

      • Every single uni open day or seminar gives them out like free candy and most campus medical centres have bowels of them on the counter.

        well, 1 or 2 might last you a year luke skywalker, but not so for everyone else ..

    • +1

      Bowels…Wait what BOWELS full of condoms,Eww poo covered condoms.

      • +15

        i take it you don't work at airport customs …

    • Well nothing against you, but I'm uncomfortable getting my condoms from bowels…

    • +11

      see I don't think it's embarrassing at all. Once in Coles all I bought was condoms and chocolate - checkout chick told me to 'have a nice day', I thought to myself '…did you not see what I bought, of course I'm going to have a good day!'

      • +14

        Hehe, reminds me of an incident a few months ago at the supermarket. The checkout girl was scanning my items with a smirk on her face and I couldn't work out why. When I got home, I realised that buying condoms along with a cucumber might have led her to the wrong conclusion… (I did buy a bunch of other items, too, just FYI. :p)

        • +5

          Sounds like a kinky chick. Did you get her number? :)

        • +8

          I'm also a chick (who likes guys). But next time, I'll try to get her number for you. :p

        • :D

        • +11

          Don't cucumbers already come with a wrapper?

        • +1

          Let me preface this by saying that I don't know from personal experience (really :p), but I imagine the plastic wrapping on a cucumber isn't particularly robust.

        • +1

          There's a line there, but I'm not touching it! (or crossing it).

        • +1

          or inserting it

      • +1

        I used to work at a supermarket checkout a few years ago, and one night said "have a nice night" to an embarrassed asian customer who was buying condoms. He frantically walked out of the store afterwards and I didn't realise what happened until later.

        Since then, I purposely do it to customers with a smirk. Hahaha, some of the reactions are priceless! :p

      • Reminds me of when at 3am one day I got a pack of condoms and a chocolate milk from a 7/11. The guy that served me congradulated me as I gave him the money.

        I'm not sure why people find it embarrassing but. If you do, the advent of self service checkouts should all but illiminate the need for anyone else to know anyway.

    • Nothing wrong with paying for condoms. Buy in bulk and check out at the counter with the hottest girl ;-)

    • I don't really like getting my new condoms from bowels.

    • I'm curious

      I'm not

    • I would NEVER take a condom from a bowel, from a bowl maybe. Would rather suffer the embarrassment of bringing a box to a counter.

    • +1

      Yes, people do pay for it if they have more than twice a year :P

    • +1

      Because not everyone goes to uni..

    • I've never had to suffer the embarrassment of bringing a box to a counter.

      Self check out will cure your embarrassment.

  • +2

    Was it a good idea to put a friends details down?

    • +2

      Anyone got Tony Abbotts home address?
      Or George Pell?

      And if you live in Australia
      Damn… there goes my present for Pope Francis

    • +4

      I'm still waiting for a mate of mine to receive his Vagisil that I ordered a while ago.

  • +2

    Free safe sex huh? Count me in. :)

    • -8

      i'd been happy without the safe part too

      • +3

        Do you even know what that means?

        • he likes to have sex "bronco style" perhaps?

        • take a walk to your local bar and you'll see the number of people who will quite happily skip the 'safe' part and straight to the sex. so the answer is, yes.

        • Those the ones that have "left the kids at home" ?

        • I thought they just left them in the car.

  • +35

    With 75% of STIs occurring amongst young people it’s time to take action

    Solution: Sex with old people?

    • Trust me - MIL is in aged care…STDs go around old folks' homes like the plague.

      • Blimey. How does it work? Do they wait until lights out or what?

        • Yeah, std calls are cheaper after 7pm.

        • +1

          No, they bring in a Boombox!

        • +1

          When a mummy and daddy love each other very much…

          They're horny; they find ways.

        • why would they wait till lights out? just bribe the nurse to go get a candy by the cornershop or something.

  • +1

    site is down? i really need this free kit!

    • +6

      You're a Rep. Help yourself.

      • I'm not a rep.

        I accidentally ticked the box.

        • +1

          You need a typing prophylactic.

        • +7

          You should wear a condom to make sure you don't fill in the box

        • +1

          More like a mouse prophylactic!

        • Do they make condoms that small?

      • "Helping yourself" does not require a condom to be safe…

    • +7

      that would be a cock up

    • lol don't lie.

  • +1

    I'd love to be part of the solution, but I was never part of the problem :p

  • -1

    Does this kit include a girl to have 'safe' sex with?

    • +9

      You collect all the stickers, and she's yours.

      • +1

        sticker lickin' good.

  • Other than AIDS, how serious are most other STI's if treated effectively and early enough??
