How to find cheap (or even free) condoms?

Protecting yourself against Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies is an absolute priority, but that doesn't mean you have to break the bank! Whether you are an occasional user or a regular "consumer," there are many ways to get condoms at low prices, or even completely free.

Here are all our best tips for a fulfilling and safe sex life without spending a fortune.

1. Online: choice, discretion and low prices

The internet offers a multitude of options for buying condoms at unbeatable prices, while avoiding the sometimes awkward gaze of other customers at the supermarket.

At Condomz.com, we make it a point of honor to combine quality with very competitive prices. By browsing our shop, you benefit from several exclusive advantages:

• An enormous choice: Hundreds of references and all the major brands recognized to find the size, texture or scent that suits you.

• Guaranteed safety: All our condoms strictly comply with French and European safety standards (CE / NF marking).

• Volume discounts: The more you buy in bulk (boxes of 50 or 100), the lower the unit price, sometimes falling to around fifteen cents per condom!

• 100% discreet delivery: No logo or compromising mention on the box.

🎁 The little extra Condomz: We regularly offer completely free samples on the site so you can test new sensations or new sizes!

2. At the pharmacy: the revolution of free condoms (Under 26 years old)

Since January 1, 2023, France has implemented a historic measure to facilitate access to contraception and fight against the rise of STIs among young people.

If you are under 26 years old: You can now get condoms 100% free at the pharmacy, without any prescription. You just need to present your Vitale card or a piece of ID. The National Health Insurance covers everything! Several male brands are now eligible for this scheme (such as Eden, Be Loved or Terpan).

The big news of 2024 (Gender equality): Since January 9, 2024, this free access has been extended to female condoms (internal) with the Ormelle brand. Excellent news for the autonomy and protection of everyone!

(Note: If you are 26 years old or older, these same brands will be reimbursed 60% by Social Security, but only upon presentation of a medical prescription).

3. Where to find free condoms around you?

Apart from pharmacies, many health facilities and community centers distribute condoms (male and female) as well as lubricant gel, all free and anonymously:

• Health centers: CeGIDD (Free Centers for Information, Testing and Diagnosis), Family Planning centers, and PMI (Maternal and Child Protection).

• For students and middle schoolers: School nurses' offices in middle schools, high schools and universities (which are required to provide them upon request).

• Community centers: Local missions, Youth Listening Points, medico-social centers and MJCs.

• The non-profit and party scene: HIV prevention associations (such as AIDES), certain bars or clubs (especially LGBTQIA+ establishments), as well as prevention stands during major summer festivals, student parties or the Pride March.

In summary: If you are a heavy user, it will always be more convenient and sensible to order your favorite brands and sizes in bulk on Condomz.com to make real savings every day. But in case of emergency, keep your eyes open, prevention is everywhere!
