We’re halfway through SEXtember, so whether you’re thinking about becoming sexually active, already in a relationship, or just want to know your options, now is the perfect time to ask questions so you can make an informed decision about what’s best for you!
So, What’s the Deal With Contraception?
If you’re having sex but don’t want to get pregnant, contraception is totally free in Wales (amazing right?) and there’s a whole range of options out there. From long-term solutions like the implant, to condoms that also protect against STIs, there’s something for everyone.
Not sure what’s right for you? come and have a chat with one of our Nurses or youth workers at the INFO Shop, we get that you might be a bit nervous but I promise they’re there to help, listen and never judge, there’s no such thing as a stupid question, we’d rather you ask and get the right info, rather than guessing or getting tips online which sometimes aren’t accurate.
Monday to Friday, the team at Info Shop Wrexham are here to offer free, confidential support with:
- 🆓 Free condoms
- 🧪 STI testing
- 🤰 Pregnancy testing on site
- 🗣️ Friendly advice and support – no judgement
Plus, on Wednesdays and Fridays from 2:30pm to 5:30pm, our Sexual Health Nurses are in for a drop-in clinic offering a wide range of contraception – from the pill to the patch and more. No need to book ahead unless you are thinking of getting an implant, then we do have to make sure we have an implant nurse in and book you an allocated time (01978 295600) / infoshop@Wrexham.gov.uk
💡 Did You Know?
- Implants are super effective and can last for years – meaning you can focus on life without worrying about unexpected pregnancy.
- Condoms are still the best way to protect yourself (and your partner) from STIs – especially if you’re with someone new or not sure of their status. We offer STI testing at INFO too, so if you’re not sure you can just ask for a test next time you’re here!
- Natural methods (like pulling out or tracking your cycle) are risky and they lead to way more unplanned pregnancies.
