The Knox College Student Health Advocacy Group (SHAG) focuses on all aspects of student health. It is a driving force in educating the women and men of Knox College about various health issues with a special focus on sexual health issues such as birth control and STI prevention. SHAG constantly works to increase access to condoms and other safe sex aids, and thus operates a confidential condom hotline. In addition, SHAG is charged with evaluation and recommendation of current and upcoming policy changes regarding student health, including the pending Student Health Center.

Condom Hotline

free condoms delivered to your mailbox confidentially

How it works

  1. Fill out the order form with your mailbox number. Order forms may be found in the mailroom or on the SHAG board, which is located next to the door that leads from the ground floor of Seymour to the mail room. In a pinch, just use a scrap of paper.
  2. Return the form to box 1582.
  3. When you run out of condoms, return a new order form to box 1582. Deliveries will be made approximately every other week.

Tips

  1. When ordering condoms, think about how many you will need for approximately the next two weeks, and when you run out, reorder.
  2. The condom hotline should be a supplementary, not a primary source of condoms. Due to high demand and high cost, we cannot guarantee any given number of items, nor can we guarantee when they will be delivered.
  3. Because non-latex condoms and female condoms are more expensive, please only request them if you really need them (e.g. latex allergy).
