:D Kelvrick finds appropriate section on the shelves
:confused: Kelvrick sees all the choices
:confused: Kelvrick 10 minutes later
:D Kelvrick picking up several boxes to make sure
:D Kelvrick several hours later

<== monkey dance
I think anyone would be happy a few hours later;)
Walmart doesn't give a rip who buys condoms, nothing comes up on the registers. Buying condoms isn't bad, it's ringing up some hot chicks buying thongs and bras that are hard to get off the hangers thats hard for me. I usually just leave the hanger on them:p

If the clerk laughs or something, just say "Who's the one getting laid tonight?" That ought to shut them up pretty quickly.

The clerks won't laugh, people buy them all the time.

Many years ago, I had a part time job working in a grocery store and we stocked condoms. I don't think a day went buy when I didn't scan at least one box...

People really do buy a ton of these things, don't feel embarressed, it is very common...

Why would you be embarassed? Bulk condoms are the way to go, they cost too damm much by the box.

After all, these *are* single use items, not like you can recycle! :D

I bought two cases from these guys, two different kinds, just for some varity. One case is still unopened, the other is about 1/4 empty. Of course I've been dating Thumper for 7 months now, you do the math! :D

lol I was a little nervous the first time buying them. The clerk was funny, she was like "have a good night", which she probably said to every customer, but the tone of voice she used made me chuckle...I was like "oh I will".

Depo is your friend ;)

They won't card you, but the store manager will probably want to measure you to make sure you are getting a good fit. Since you are buying them for your friend, it may get a bit complicated unless you are about the same size. You better check before you go.

I believe those are Trojan's line that have a small "resivoir tip." It catches all the semen so that the condom doesn't "burst" like a truely round one would.

I think it is important to keep in mind that if your sole worry is not to have a mini-me running around buy condoms with spermicide.
On the other hand, if you are worried about the STDs the bitch has then get one without spermicide. Apparently Nonoxinol-9 (sp?) weakens latex and there is a greater chance of getting STD.

I hate buying em....whenever i get em the cashier always either has a funny look on her face or they always say something like "Have fun tonite," then i always get looks from everyone in line. Last time i was at walmart....the condoms set off the alarm and they had to check my bag...the old lady pulled the out the box of condoms and just started laughing. So when i buy em i just buy in bulk. Actually now i only use em for booty calls....always try to get a gf on the pill.

If your tiny-dicked friend is too much of a freaking panzy to buy his own condoms he has no place sticking his willy in somebody else. Christ above.

The internet is wonderful, you can buy anything without having to worry about smart-ass clerks.

Plus they're damn cheap when you buy them in large quantities.

I've used up about 250 of them... [err, looks in box again, maybe 200 of them]

You use them up in a hurry when you both call in sick and stay in bed all day. :D
