Condoms by Post

Condoms are the only contraceptive which also reduces the risk of sexually transmitted infections and HIV.

Free condoms are available from all GP practices and GP surgeries in Orkney.

We understand that some people find it difficult to attend these places for a variety of reasons so NHS Orkney has decided to launch a pilot scheme to provide free condoms by post.

.

  1. Clients can access the service by:
  1. Clients must be 16 years or older. Clients under 16 can still access free condoms at their GP surgeries and at the clinic.
  2. We will supply condoms to Orkney Residents and post to Orkney Addresses only.
  3. Lubricant is not recommended for vaginal sex.
  4. Lubricant is strongly recommended for anal sex as this reduces the chances of the condom slipping or breaking.
  5. Regular condoms are no more likely than thicker condoms to break or slip off during anal sex. Some people feel safer using thicker (‘Extra' or ‘Strong') condoms for anal sex, but there is no proof that they are any safer than regular condoms.
  6. Latex free condoms are only available for clients with a proven latex allergy
  7. A mix of condom types and sizes are available. We would recommend that new clients order a starter pack first. This contains 10 assorted condoms and 2 packs of lubricant.
  8. All other orders will consist of 20 condoms.
  9. There are no restrictions on how frequently you order condoms.
  10. All orders are supplied on anonymous packaging.
