This thread is still going strong, I see. Always a good thing. Kinda wondering how many pages a thread can have before it has to be closed in order to be replaced by a follow-up thread. Other internet forums tend to do that.

I know female condoms exists but I am not sure if you are talking about thoseFrom what I've read, both external condoms (a.k.a. male condoms, or condoms that go on a penis) and internal condoms (a.k.a. female condoms or condoms that can be inserted into a vagina or anus) are covered by health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. But the Affordable Care Act is classifying it as birth control, so only people who can get pregnant can get it covered. So, a woman can get external condoms to use with her partner.

Fascinating! Thank you for sharing Cinnamon
omg congrats Abby Gail!! looks so cool, probably sounds even cooler! thanks for encouragement too <3
that's interesting CinnamonSugar, i didn't know condoms are a part of healthcare in the states. in my country you can get them in pharmacies, but i haven't ever heard of an insurance company that provides condoms or any other form of birth control...

Birth control pills are only available with a prescription (although a company is trying to get over the counter pills approved.) Depending on the insurance company, birth control may or may not have been covered. I used to work for a Catholic organization & their health insurance didn't cover it. However, the government passed regulations requiring birth control to be covered.
Apparently, as part of those regulations, they also required insurance companies to start covering condoms, too, December 30, 2022.
So, I reached out to my insurance company today. They cover Trustex brand condoms specifically... which is not a brand I'm familiar with. But it doesn't surprise me that they only cover certain condoms.

They are typically available in pharmacies, groceries & other stores. In the past, some people had "health spending accounts" they could use to pay for them, but they were not technically covered by insurance.

huh, so it's kinda a new thing! in my country hormonal birth control is also prescription only, but i wish there were some otc ones, i have to pay for a visit to gyno everytime to get them so the overall cost gets higher...
They should add music to this game. have a great day/night!!!>33
The whole condom thing is really interesting because I often find myself being kinda shocked at how seemingly expensive condoms can be whenever I'm at the store!
