Female condoms aren’t as readily available as male condoms, but they are out there if you know where to look.

1. Pharmacies and DrugstoresGood old pharmacies are still one of the most reliable places to find them. But not every pharmacy will have them on the shelf. Here’s how to do it like a pro:

Ask confidently. Yes, it can feel awkward, but remember, it’s your body, your choice.

Use the product name. Most female condoms in Nigeria go by the brand name FC2. Just walk in and ask, “Do you have FC2 female condoms?”

Check these pharmacy chains:

HealthPlus

Medplus

The Orange Drugstore

Genesis Pharmacy

HubCare Pharmacy (Online and in-store)

Pro tip: Go during the day when the staff is more likely to be helpful and not rushing to close shop.

2. Online StoresOnline shopping is your bestie for the shy queens or just the chronically busy babes.

Here’s where to click-click-order:

Jumia – Search “FC2 female condoms” and filter by trusted sellers. They get delivered discreetly (no packaging screaming “I’m getting some!”)

HealthStation.ng – A health-focused platform that sells everything from supplements to contraceptives.

mydawa.ng – An online pharmacy platform with sexual health products for both men and women.

Drugstore.ng – Nigeria’s version of an online CVS. Reliable and fast.

HubCare – Medical consultations and contraceptives? We love a multi-tasking platform.

This is another female condom on Amazon.

Delivery is usually within 1-5 days depending on your location. some of them all you to pay on delivery if you don’t want “female condom” popping up on your bank statement.

3. Government Hospitals and ClinicsSome public hospitals and reproductive health centres offer free or subsidized female condoms. 

NGOs or government programs often supply these focused on family planning and HIV prevention. Ask at:

Primary Health Care Centres

State Hospitals

Family Planning Clinics

NACA or SFH partner clinics (National Agency for the Control of AIDS and Society for Family Health)

Don’t be shy to ask the family planning nurse directly. They’re usually super chill and helpful.

4. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)Bless the NGOs, for they’ve been doing the Lord’s work regarding sexual health access.

Groups like:

Society for Family Health (SFH)

Marie Stopes Nigeria (MSI)

AIDS Prevention Initiative Nigeria (APIN)

…have walk-in clinics or outreach programs where you can either get female condoms free or at heavily discounted rates.

If you’re in Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan, Port Harcourt, or Kano, chances are, there’s an NGO-run clinic nearby.

5. SupermarketsThis one’s a long shot, but some supermarkets that stock pharmaceutical items might have them:

SPAR

Ebeano

Shoprite Pharmacy sections

Always check near the pharmacy aisle or ask customer service. Just brace yourself because it can be a bit of a treasure hunt.

How Much Do Female Condoms Cost in Nigeria?They’re a bit pricier than male condoms. Typically:

₦300 to ₦800 per piece depending on the brand and where you buy it

Packs of 3 or 5 can go for ₦1,500 – ₦4,000

Free at many government clinics or NGO outlets

But honestly? The comfort, protection, and peace of mind is priceless.

Why Aren’t More Women Using Female Condoms?Honestly, it’s a combo of:

Lack of awareness

Poor accessibility

Gender norms (ugh)

And good old-fashioned misinformation
