How much does the internal condom cost?

You don’t need a prescription for the internal condom, but if you have health insurance—whether it’s through your parents, school, job, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace, or Medicaid—chances are good that you’ll be able to get internal condoms with no out-of-pocket cost with a prescription.

If you don’t have health insurance, it’s true that internal condoms are more expensive than other condoms, and since you have to use one every time you have sex, you’ll need to factor in how often you are having sex to figure out how much they’ll cost. If that isn’t an option for you, you can check with the health department in your area or your local family planning clinics and find out if they offer free or low cost internal condoms and other kinds of birth control (most do).
