Free vs purchased condoms?

Contributor: potstickers potstickers
Do you buy condoms? I've only ever gotten free condoms from various events and stores that give out free condoms. Do you think the ones you buy are considerably better than free ones, and worth the price?

My husband and I rarely used condoms when we were dating, but we always bought them rather than taking free ones.

I have a pretty great birthcontrol so we use condoms for fun.

They're usually equally good.

In my late teens we use to use the free ones you get from the clinic, but they seem to have shrunk, so at about 20 we started buying our condoms. I like it better because we can try different ones. I do think they are worth the price! You can't put a price on comport.

i do not purchase condoms, but when it comes to free condoms, u never know what theyre all about., So i prefer to buy them. If its trojan, then i would get them free through free samples on google! (:

The only free ones I have ever used are those given to me by clinical trial clinic. Current trial I am enrolled in requires use of a barrier when having sex, and was given Skyn condoms to use.

My college gives out Trojans and Lifestyles of all sorts so it's the same as storebought

Same as ArcaneBlast above - my school gives out Durex/Trojans/Lifestyl es, so there doesn't seem to be a difference.

I'm happy with free ones, but I find they can be a little on the small side.

Think about it this way: Who gives out a sample that is worse than their product? No one, because they want people to buy the in store product!

Just about the same.

We buy trojans. I've never seen free condoms, much less tried them.

We don't use condoms, but I wouldn't trust condoms you get for free...just my feeling.

Voted that bought condoms are better because I've never encountered free polyisoprene condoms and that's what we prefer.

Condoms have to go through rigorous testing, so to me, a condom is a condom. The only thing that makes any difference is preferred shape, lube, etc...

They are all the same. Why pay for something you get for free??

Dont need condoms since we're both chicks.

We don't use condoms. We are married and I am on the pill but free condoms are just as good.

For me it just depends on the brand. A trojan is a trojan, doesn't matter if you paid for it or got it for free.

I buy my condoms. I don't really trust the free condoms because I am not sure of the condition they were kept in.

Condoms are condoms. I like ones with added comforts, but normal, give-away condoms are just as fine.

I buy condoms and I think they're better than the free ones.

My university only distributes Life Styles, which I feel are far inferior to the Trojans we occasionally buy.

I used to get the free ones all the time, when it was as easy as requesting them online. A few days later, I'd get a batch of them in the mail. Now it's easier to just pick them up at the store if I know I'll be needing some.

It's easy to find free condoms but I wish there were more places that gave out free dental dams! Those things are like a buck or two apiece.
