Buying the condom in the Pharmacy means primary:

Protection against falsifications and low quality

The temporary trade points usually sell the condoms of low quality, produced by the doubtful manufacturers, the high quality condoms could hardly be sold there. There is also the risk to buy the falsification. The main feature of falsification is the absence of the lot number and of the storage period on the individual packing of the condom.

Protection against the unskilled salesmen

The salesmen in the kiosks and in non-specialized trade points usually can neither provide the actual advice on the use of the condom, nor help to select it. For the salesmen the condoms differ only by the price, that’s why instead the large size they may give you the small one, instead the ribbed condom — the smooth one. They even are ready to replace them in case of mistake, but not everybody is willing to act, without any intention from his part, as such a sexual giant. There were the cases when due to the fault or to the bad idea of the salesmen the kiosks sold only the condoms with the holes. It’s a pity but in our time nobody may be sure that the bored salesman or anybody of his friends did not, just for a joke, made in the condom the holes with the needle.

Protection from the purchase of spoilt condoms, of condoms with the expired storage period

And, finally, the last argument in favour of the Pharmacy is that only the network of Pharmacies ensures the correct storage of the medical products. The latex resin has the numerous advantages, but it is rather sensible to the direct sunlight, to the high and low temperatures. And if the condoms are placed in the shop-window directly under the sunlight, the storage period stated on their package has absolutely no sense.
