* In Brunei, you can purchase condoms without a prescription. You can find '''condoms''' found in select stores, such as Hua Ho (a retail department store and supermarket chain that can be found in multiple locations throughout Brunei) and Guardian (the largest health, beauty and personal care chain in Brunei, with 21 stores nationwide). Durex brand condoms are typically sold. Since condoms and sexual topics are taboo in Brunei, the condoms in stores are often sold in less conspicuous locations, such as in the back of the store. | |||
* If you want '''contraceptive pills (birth control pills)''' in Brunei, you can obtain them at local pharmacies, but you will first need a prescription to present to the pharmacist. If you're a foreigner, some pharmacies will accept prescriptions from another country, provided that you can show them the prescription in person or at least show a photo of the prescription. | |||
