Can anybody tell me how do you shop/pick the right size and brand of condoms for somebody that's never had sex?
I've heard there is a condom in the ladies section in the grocery store does anybody know what they are called?

You don't say whereabouts you live so I can't tell you what brands would be available to you. A number of different types of condom are now available. What is generally called a condom is the 'male' condom, a sheath or covering which fits over a man's penis, and which is closed at one end.
There is also now a female condom, or vaginal sheath, which is used by a woman and which fits inside her vagina.
Condoms are made in different lengths and widths, and different manufacturers produce varying sizes.
There is no standard length for condoms, though those made from natural rubber will in addition always stretch if necessary to fit the length of the man's erect penis.
The width of a condom can also vary. Some condoms have a slightly smaller width to give a "closer" fit, whereas others will be slightly larger. Condom makers have realised that different lengths and widths are needed and are increasingly broadening their range of sizes. However, 6 inches is considered 'normal' so if you are less you should buy small, if you are longer then this you should buy large. If you are planning on having sex soon, maybe you could buy two packets in different sizes and try them on by yourself. This way, you will know what fits best, and also how to do it to save discomfort on your special night.
The brand names will be different in each country, so you will need to do your own investigation of different names. There is no particular best brand of condom.
You can also buy condoms onlines to save embarrasment and hassel, two sites are:

Hope this helps!

They're called condoms, sheaths, French letters, baby's suit... etc. Ask the pharmacist to measure you for the right size.

Go to CVS. They're towards the back of the drug section. there are regular ones or magnums, magnums being large. whatever you do get trojans. ultra ribbed works well.

What does size have to do with the first time?

You pick a condom that will fit your penis. Latex & lubricated is best.
