Sexual Health Supplies & Services

Sexual health is an important part of overall well-being and means more than just sex and condoms. Sexual health and well-being are directly intertwined with mental, physical, emotional, and social well-being. Feeling empowered and in control of one’s own sexual well-being is crucial. The ability to have affirming, consensual, and protected sex is the groundwork for beginning to explore one’s relationship to sex and sexuality.

Harm reduction through protected sex is often a first step in sexual health. Barrier methods allow for bodily autonomy and sexual experiences with a low risk of adverse health outcomes. Furthermore, reliable access to STI and HIV testing can help limit the spread of STIs between partners and limit further progression of illness. Since many STIs are asymptomatic, testing AND barrier methods are particularly important.

At Wolverine Wellness, we offer safer sex supplies and confidential testing! 

Safer sex supplies

We have a variety of condoms, dental dams, and lubricants available at no cost for students. Stop by our office (ground floor of UHS) to discretely get your safer sex supplies during our office hours. 

If you find yourself in need outside of our business hours, safer sex supplies are available for purchase at the health and wellness vending machines on campus or a local pharmacy. You may also consider purchasing online so that your supplies are mailed directly to you. 

All latex condoms sold in the U.S. (other than "novelty condoms") are medical devices regulated by the FDA. All brands of condoms are subject to stringent quality standards, and research shows they are equally effective in preventing pregnancy and STI/HIV.
