Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

For some, that’s less than a month’s supply.
For many people price is a barrier. One which has no need to exist, and only exists because for some reason Christian bosses don’t want to recognize that their employees have sex, and get all weird about it.
College health centers usually only hand them out to their students. Do you think people stop having sex after they graduate?
This is besides the fact that the best way to reduce abortions and unwanted pregnancies on the whole is to provide and encourage contraceptives. One way to do that is make condoms and contraception covered by healthcare.
Edit to add: man, I get enough awkwardness buying my partner’s tampons if she needs a top-off. I certainly don’t want her knowing my dick size.
Don't be embarrassed, nobody gives a shit about that stuff. Also... if you're using condoms... how would she not already know your dick size!?
Funny… so I’m leaving it… but you do know I was referring to the cashier knowing?
And yes, this particular cashier does comment on the tampons- and given the whole-getting-hit-on-thing, the less she knows about me the better.
(Walmart Lady needs higher standards.)
Your Walmart doesn't have self-checkout? Or other open lanes? It's one particular cashier? Regardless if she's harassing you like that you need to let her/management know.
No but they can afford them with their easy-to-get high paying job due to graduating right? /s
Why wouldnt you want your partner to know your dick size?
None of their business
I'm very curious how you have sex with them.
I imagine that- like their size- they wouldn't want you to know
Well sure, but this conversation isn't linked to their identity
Look I'm sorry but this is ridiculous. The type of people to not be able to afford $15/month most likely don't have insurance, or even access to a pharmacy. While there isn't any real data on the venn diagram of people having sex more than once a day and being too poor to afford an extra 50¢ per day for every extra sex session, but I suspect it is vanishingly small.
At some point this is just virtue signaling. It's eyeroll inducing.
First off, condoms break…not often but they do.
secondly, some use toys that may or may not need to be also covered.
Third, you really should be changing condoms after anal and going to something else.
Finally there are people that are incredibly… uh… horny. I’m not one of them, but yes, they do in fact exist. There’s a reason many senior living homes pass around free condoms, too.
And on the note of people having health insurance… that’s also a problem that should be solved. But that’s rather off topic.
If you’re having sex more than once very day but can’t come up with $15, you should go fuck yourself (pun intended)
