You can protect yourself from pregnancy and STIs by using condoms consistently and correctly, and we always recommend considering another form of contraception alongside condoms, such as the pill or the contraceptive injection. We have a range of condoms and lubricants available online and in-store so you can select the best products for your situation, and we are always on hand to help if you need advice or guidance. You can order online to have your products delivered discreetly to your door or pop into our Cashel store to talk to us at any time.
Open communication in your sexual relationships is vital for your protection, and you should be able to discuss sexual health, STI testing and contraception with your partner or partners. If you have multiple sexual partners or engage in high-risk behaviours, you should have regular STI tests and encourage your partner(s) to get tested as well. It’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet to support your sexual health and be aware that excessive alcohol or drug use can impair your judgement and increase risky behaviours.
If you notice any symptoms of an STI, such as unusual discharge, pain or itching, you should seek professional medical advice from your doctor or pharmacist or a sexual health clinic. An STI screening is a quick and easy process that will give you the peace of mind you need, and you can be assured of a discreet and confidential service.
