I recently went off the pill because my husband and I want to start trying to get pregnant this Spring. I thought it would be a good idea to let my body adjust, so we've been using condoms ever since. Though I've been ready for a while now, my husband wants to wait until we're more financially stable, which I completely understand.

If condoms are your primary form of birth control, for both
pregnancy and
STI prevention, then you'll be happy to know there's a new thin condom on the market.
Lifestyles Skyn pledges to be the "closest thing to wearing nothing." Well that sounds inviting, doesn't it?

If you're not a fan of hormonal birth control, your options are limited when it comes to staying pregnancy-free.
Condoms are an easy choice to stay protected when you're not in a committed relationship, but I've been hearing more and more married couples say that condoms are their preferred method of birth control, too. Of course to each their own, but isn't one of the perks of being in a committed marriage (one that's clear of STIs) that you don't have to fuss with interrupting the moment to find a condom?

If you've ever wandered down the feminine hygiene and condom aisle at your local drugstore, then you're sure to have noticed what amazing varieties there are in the world of condoms. There are different styles, sizes, colors, flavors, and of course, brands competing for your use! I'm sure many of you have sampled a few, but do you know your brands by the box?

I've heard of Roman Catholics not believing in birth control, but now a new
Roman Catholic pharmacy in Virginia doesn't believe in selling it. Divine Mercy Care Pharmacy isn't the only one letting their faith lead their business. Seven other pharmacies across the nation are doing the same.

Dear Sugar,
I've been dating my boyfriend for almost a year and we've been friends for three years before that. We're very much in love and plan on getting married and having kids. About four years ago I found out that I have HPV which developed into genital warts — I've since had treatment and the warts are gone.

Grocery shopping is usually an uneventful experience, except for the few times when life calls for a unique addition to my list. I'm grateful that I can buy such necessities at most stores, but sometimes the items I need to purchase are a little more telling than others. During times when I don't feel like broadcasting my business, I head to the self checkout.

Planned Parenthood must think that the conventions are just big orgies. They're asking supporters
to send condoms to the Republican National Convention along with money, of course, that will go to the
Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Barack Obama's campaign.
Ten dollars will send one condom, $35 sends four, you get the picture.

Buying condoms is nothing to be embarrassed about; just ask the Golden Girls. That is, until the cashier announces to the whole store that you're buying ultrasensitive prophylactics in black. (Also, this could totally be a plotline on
Sex and the City.)

While fumbling for a condom has been known to kill the mood, we have to appreciate them for the freedom they give people every day to enjoy some hanky panky. If you think you know everything there is to know about these invaluable drugstore items, then take my quiz and find out. Good luck!
