A condom in Australia costs about $1.18 on average, and what you pay comes down almost entirely to one thing. Pack size.
Pack size, not brand or type
The single biggest lever on what a condom costs you is how many come in the box. Buy a small pack and you pay a premium per condom; buy in bulk and it drops by more than half.
Averages per condom across every priced pack we track. It’s the same protection either way, so the per-condom price is the number that matters.
Bigger and smaller cost about the same
Snug, standard, large or extra large, the price per condom barely moves. You are not paying more for a bigger or a smaller fit, so buy the size that fits rather than the one you think is cheaper.

Common questions
How much does a condom cost in Australia?
Anywhere from about 32c to over $2 each, depending far more on the pack you buy than on the brand. The middle of everything we price sits near $1 a condom.
How many condoms come in a box?
Retail packs are usually 3, 10 or 12. Bulk boxes run to 100 and beyond, and that is where the price per condom drops by more than half.

Barely. Snug, standard, large or extra large, the price per condom hardly moves, so there is nothing to save by buying a size that does not fit you.
What is the cheapest way to buy condoms?
A bulk box of the one you already know fits. Pack size is the single biggest lever on price per condom, which is why we rank on price per condom rather than price per box.
Cheap only helps if it fits.
The lowest price per condom is no bargain in the wrong size. Measure once, then buy the size that's actually yours.
