Thinking about birth control is already a smart decision on your part. When money is an issue free (or cheap) birth control would be your best bet to stay protected against unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease. Whether your household has been affected by the recession or you are a teen looking for affordable contraception, you can still find affordable ways of getting birth control.
- Free condoms. The cheapest type of birth control which protects both against pregnancy and STDS are condoms. Most colleges and health care clinics give those away for free. A lot of nightclubs also give away condoms for free. You can also find free condom samples online (usually you can get up to 10 condoms at a time) however you still have to pay for the shipping that costs the same as a pack of condoms at your local drugstore.
- Cheap condoms. If you are looking for cheap condoms you can always check out coupons and sales at your local grocery store or drugstore. Several manufacturers offer discount coupons if you register for their promotions online:
You can save $2 on Trojan Condoms (click here.) Durex offers special coupons and discounts if you sign up for their newsletter here.
A lot of online stores offer discount coupons that you can check out on this site. - Free birth control pills. Some women can get birth control pills for free. If you are a college student you can check with your institution first. A lot of colleges support safe sex and offer free birth control pills (or at least sample packs) to the students.
Check with your health care provider and see if they can give you birth control samples. The downside of using samples is that they are usually limited to one month supply and after it you are supposed to buy a new pack.
Planned Parenthood can be another source of free (or extremely cheap) birth control pills and health exams. They offer free birth control to teens under 18 and women with low or no income. During your visit you need to have some form of ID, social security card and proof of residence. You can find a Planned Parenthood clinic by visiting their official website (listed at the top of this paragraph.)
- Cheap birth control pills. Not everyone is eligible to receive free birth control pills, however a lot of women (especially today) do not have health insurance and cannot afford visits to the doctor. A check-up visit to the doctor without a health insurance can cost you $150 or more and you will still have to pay full price for your birth control pills. A lot of clinics now give prescriptions only for a few months and then they require another visit to get another prescription.
If you do not qualify for free birth control you can use online pharmacies to order your birth control pills without prior prescription from your doctor. Buy Birth Control was created for women who cannot afford pricey visits to the doctor and cannot receive free birth control. Our prices are extremely affordable because we understand the importance of contraception for your health and well being. Consider this: the cost of a 3-months supply of Ortho Tricyclen (the most popular birth control pill) is just $107 – it is cheaper than a visit to the doctor if you do not have health insurance!
Choosing an affordable and effective birth control option is a very important decision in the life of every woman. Do you research, discover the best form of contraception for you and choose the best way to get free or cheap birth control pills.
