Have you ever been in the situation where you are getting hot with a guy and then he drops the line “I can’t find a condom” while fumbling around in his bedside table or wallet? Yep, that’s a mood killer!

Girls can carry condoms to make sure they are ALWAYS prepared!

More and more girls are taking charge of their sex life because…

  • Carrying condoms = taking care of YOUR body, YOUR sexual health and YOUR future! It means that you are always in control
  • Contraception and protecting yourself and your partner against STIs is a shared responsibility – it shows that you not only care about yourself, but you care about the person you are having sex with
  • Carrying condoms means that you can always be confident and not have to rely on someone else to have a condom on them when you are about to get lucky
  • You are empowering your friends by showing them that it is OK to carry condoms and reminding them that no one judges them for doing so – in fact, it just makes them more chill being able to talk about sex and using condoms!

We all want, and deserve, safe and enjoyable sex! Carrying condoms shouldn’t be the responsibility of one gender or partner.

So slip a couple of condoms in your purse and carry them around with confidence. After all, carrying condoms puts you on top and in control!

If you want to know more you can ring the NSW Sexual Health Infolink on 1800 451 624 between 9:00am and 5:30pm Monday to Friday to talk with a sexual health nurse. It’s confidential and free if you call from a landline.

Play Safe!
