Currently in France, you can purchase condoms at the supermarkets, condom machines on the street (yes, really), pharmacies and schools (condom machines in the restrooms).
However, you may be happy to know that very soon these préservatifs will be available for purchase in tabacs. (They’ll be wrapped and packaged of course unlike in the photo.) You never know when this kind of information can come in handy, so I thought you’d appreciate the FYI.

There was a condom vending machine in a restroom at the Heathrow airport in London. It made me wonder why you would buy a condom in an airport, unless you were planning on joining the “Mile High Club” on your upcoming flight.

Personnellement, je considère l’accessibilité la plus large aux boîtes de préservatifs comme une réelle avancée, compte tenu des problèmes de santé que tout le monde connaît.
Par contre, et afin de nous éclairer un peu plus sur le sujet, il serait intéressant que vous nous indiquiez quels sont les points d’accès disponibles aux U.S.A. (commerces, aéroports, etc…).
Merci d’avance,

in the u.s. you can buy condoms (commonly called “rubbers”) in supermarkets, hypermarkets, gas stations, convenience stores, clubs (in machines in the restrooms), drugstores, pharmacies, liquorstores, bars, you can buy them online, by phone (to be delivered), schools (they are free in some high schools, but it depends on the schools and the region of the u.s.); planned parenthood clinics (they are usually free for teens) – however, the u.s. is very different from state-to-state and some places in certain states will offer them while others don’t (or won’t).
i might’ve left some things off, please free free to add to this list.

Calimero >> Tu as parfaitement raison… mais on va dire que cela fait partie de ma curiosité naturelle !!! Je n’ai pas prévu dans l’immédiat de parcourir les U.S.A., mais sait-on jamais ? Ma boîte a l’intention de me faire bouger vers des contrées lointaines à l’occasion, alors…
Merci pour ces précisions ptinfrance.
Amitiés
