'''OVERVIEW'''
In India, contraceptives are legal and can be purchased without a prescription in pharmacies. Emergency contraception is also sold without a prescription, although some brands, such as ellaOne, are available. Abortion is also permitted under certain criteria, under which many women qualify. Regarding menstruation, you can find pads, pantyliners and tampons in Mumbai, but you can only buy menstrual cups in Bangalore and Dehli. However, it should be noted that many services, such as contraception purchases, are made more difficult due to social pressure and fear of social judgment. Women have reported feeling uncomfortable when buying contraceptives at local pharmacies, and many therefore to make purchases online.

Regarding condom purchases, Mumbai locals are generally shy. Yet some younger women are becoming more comfortable. One medical worker told DNAIndia, "Women above the age of 35 are quite reserved, but the ones between 25 to 35 are the bold ones. Mostly women ask for condoms for men. A few months ago, a woman asked for female condoms. I didn't even know they existed." Another said, "Mostly men between the age group of 20-40 years buy condoms. We have few women customers who ask for them. Those who live in this area only buy medicines from us. The people who buy condoms don't live anywhere here because many are still very shy."<ref>[http://www.dnaindia.com/speak-up/report-mumbai-s-shy-asking-for-condoms-1096118 Mumbai's Shy Asking for Condoms]</ref>
