    You can get lots of free condoms from your local GUM clinic, Family Planning clinic and my Gp gives them out too, although not everyones does. I have not paid for condoms since I was 17 and too shy to ask for freebies.


    Same here get Free Ones everytime I go to FPC.

    But I agree they are far too expensive. and the machines in pubs and clubs are a rip off. They should have them FREE in a little baskets in the loos or on the bar.

    I SAY FREE CONDOMS FOR ALL!!!!

  • The NHS should really provide condoms for free and/or the government needs to stop charging VAT on condoms. It costs them more to pay for unwanted babies and treating STIs than the condoms would ever be.

    You said yourself that you get yours free from GUM clinics/GPs - these are NHS funded... I agree about the VAT though.

    Totally agree with this.

    Am actually made sick by the machines in pub toilets that want £3 a pop or some such nonsense...is it any wonder so many people just don't bother...

    These are sometimes (often?) a scam anyway. If you put £3 and you don't get anything out, they rely on most people being too embarrassed to ask the bar staff for a refund.

  • also , VAT is charged on condoms! And the government constantly go on about people not using them!
