    Buying them isn’t an issue. Getting kids to actually use them is what matters.

      Some stores won’t sell to people under 18, even when there’s no law requiring them to (I don’t k.ow of a place that does) and that requires money, something in short supply if you’re a teen

        Funny story. I remember years ago having a girlfriend when I was 25, and we are staying with my parents, who live in a small town for a few days. We went to buy some condoms one day, and we found that none of the mini marts nearby carried any sort of contraceptives at all.

        I remember asking the clerk, who was younger than me, and he acted incredulous that anybody would need a condom. In a city of 25,000 people.

        Luckily, Safeway came to the rescue. Lol
