How far in advance do you buy condoms?

When I was using them more, I would just keep a decent supply on hand, then restock when the stash got low. Very rarely bought right before sex.

Yes. Just like your gas tank when you live in hurricane territory. Restock/refill when your gas tank is half empty or supply of condoms is half gone. Always be prepared.

Exactly. I mean, don't buy 1000 at a time if you're only having sex once a week (they'll expire), but there's no reason for a grown man to have no condoms on hand.

Yes, they do expire, and at times I throw some out, but better a surplus than a shortage. Scout motto - "Be prepared."

I generally buy them on-line and keep a good supply (not an over-supply though) and top up before the supply is gone. I rarely go out without at least one (except by mistake), having been caught out in my early days of using them.

I do keep one in my wallet and a few in the car, but I'm careful to use them and replace them and not to leave them there.

Because my girls are on the pill, i only use condoms during anal sex.

I am a cheap bastard so i only buy my condoms when they go on sale every few months. I usually get 8-10 boxes depending on how much stock they have.

I always have to buy in time, cause I need to order them online. The local stores here don’t sell the ones I need unfortunately. Luckily delivery from the UK to the Netherlands is pretty fast. Two or three (work)days in advance is enough to make sure I always have them in stock myself. ;)
