Contraception is officially legal in Cambodia. However, there is still a big social stigma regarding women's sexualities. Contraceptives are often hard to find, expensive, and they might not be efficient.

The easiest way to get a contraception is to use condoms. You can buy them at shops, supermarkets, for instance on 7/11 or else. Other contraceptives might be hard to find

Menstruation is still taboo, less betweem women.

What to Get & Where to Get It
