What happened?<\/strong>\"]\nWe\u2019re sorry you did not receive your Condom Fairy order! Since we cannot track individual orders, we can\u2019t be certain about the specific reason you did not receive your order.\nThe most common reason students do not receive their order is because there is an error in the mailing address that you entered on the Condom Fairy order form. If the address is invalid, your order may be delayed or not delivered.\n\nCommon errors include:\n\n\n<ul>\n \t\n\n<li>Listing your room number instead of your mailbox number. To find your on-campus mailbox number, you can contact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/housing\/\">BU Housing.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n \t\n\n<li>Entering the incorrect address. This may be either an incorrect zip code, street suffix (e.g., Terrace, Street, Way, etc.), and\/or address spelling typos.<\/li>\n\n\n \t\n\n<li>Your off-campus mailbox is not marked with your name, or the name on your mailbox does not match the name on your order (e.g., you used a nickname or your initials for your order instead of your full name).<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\nWhen placing your next order, please make sure:\n\n\n<ul>\n \t\n\n<li>Your address does not include any typos or errors<\/li>\n\n\n \t\n\n<li>You are using the correct mailbox number<\/li>\n\n\n \t\n\n<li>The name on your order matches the name on your mailbox (off-campus)<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n[\/collapsible]\n\n[collapsible heading=\"<strong>Where does Condom Fairy deliver?<\/strong>\"]\nCondom Fairy delivers to BU students within Massachusetts. Due to budget constraints, Condom Fairy cannot deliver outside of Massachusetts.\n[\/collapsible]\n\n[collapsible heading=\"<strong>I made a mistake, can I change my order?<\/strong>\"]\nDue to the volume of orders Condom Fairy receives, we cannot make changes to the items you selected in your order. If your order has already been filled, we will not be able to change or cancel your order.\n\nHere\u2019s a list of the most common order mistakes and what to do next:\n\n\n<ul>\n \t\n\n<li><strong>Incorrect address\/delivery information.<\/strong> If there is an error in the address, the order will not be delivered. Email cfairy@bu.edu to request the order be canceled, and submit a new order with the correct information.<\/li>\n\n\n \t\n\n<li><strong>Wrong supplies.<\/strong> If you ordered supplies you don\u2019t want, email cfairy@bu.edu to request your order be canceled, and submit a new order.<\/li>\n\n\n \t\n\n<li><strong>Forgot something.<\/strong> If you forgot an additional supply, place an order for the desired item.

However, please only order the supplies you need for yourself. Condom Fairy supplies are limited, and Condom Fairy would like to send orders to all students who request safer sex supplies!\n[\/collapsible]\n\n[collapsible heading=\"<strong>Why are informational materials included in every order?<\/strong>\"]\nSharing accurate, affirming, and inclusive sexual health information is an important part of Condom Fairy. Condom Fairy believes that safer sex isn\u2019t only about using safer sex supplies like condoms or oral dams. Safer sex also includes regular STI screenings, having open conversations about sexual health with any potential partners, and much more.\n\nCondom Fairy materials are meant to share important sexual health information about topics like STI testing, consent, and how to use safer sex supplies, to help support safer sex at BU. Certain sexual health information is included in every order, and other information changes throughout the year.\n[\/collapsible]\n\n[collapsible heading=\"<strong>Why do you only carry certain supplies?<\/strong>\"]\nCondom Fairy strives to carry a wide range of safer sex supplies that serve the needs of BU students. If there is a product you think Condom Fairy should offer, we would greatly appreciate it if you share that feedback in the Condom Fairy survey, released at the end of each semester.\n[\/collapsible]\n\n[collapsible heading=\"<strong>Can you provide birth control or Plan B in my order?<\/strong>\"]\nThe primary goal of Condom Fairy is to increase access to condoms and other safer sex supplies by removing potential cost, privacy, and embarrassment barriers.\n\nIn addition to Condom Fairy, we provide a wide range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/medical-care\/sexual-health\/\">sexual and reproductive health services<\/a> to help support students\u2019 sexual health, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/medical-care\/sexual-health\/birth-control\/\">birth control consultations and prescriptions<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/medical-care\/sexual-health\/emergency-contraception\/\">access to Emergency contraception<\/a>.\n[\/collapsible]\n\n[collapsible heading=\"<strong>I'm an RA or student group leader. Can I order bulk safer sex supplies for an event?<\/strong>\"]\nCondom Fairy does not offer bulk safer sex supplies for RAs or student groups. We aim to meet individual student needs by offering a free, discreet, and private way to access safer sex supplies.\n\nWe host several Condom Fairy pop-ups at various on-campus locations every academic year (read more about \u201cCondom Fairy Pop-Ups\u201d above). Condom Fairy Pop-Ups are not available upon request, but we are always looking for new locations for future pop-ups. We invite you to please <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonu.qualtrics.com\/jfe\/form\/SV_9ySUMjnGuceY0uO\">suggest a location<\/a> (including your dorm\/ hall) for a future Condom Fairy Pop-Up location.\n\nBe on the lookout for Condom Fairy Pop-Up announcements promoted in the RA newsletter, on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bustudenthealth\/\">SHS social media<\/a>, and on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/event-calendar\/\">SHS calendar<\/a>.\n[\/collapsible]--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We believe that sex should be safe, pleasurable, and shame-free.
