If you Google “free condoms” you’ll find some organizations that will send you sample condoms in discreet packaging, free of charge. This will give you a chance to try different styles of both male and female condoms which will help you figure out what type of condom you like the best. Since you won’t be able to receive free samples forever, you’ll have to eventually deal with buying them in a store or getting them from a clinic such as Planned Parenthood. It may feel awkward the first time but after that it will be a snap. Besides, practicing safe sex is something you should be proud of!
