Is it safe to only use condoms every time I have sex?

Question

I don't want to get pregnant 🙅🏻🙅🏻🙅🏻

Answer

It's a safe way but not the only way

Answer

If they're used correctly then yes, but if you have health insurance and can get on birth control you should. But if you can't, just make sure to get the right size condoms for him and maybe some lube.. Durex condoms are probably your best bet..

Answer

I've been only using condoms for 3 years and I've taken the morning after pill twice. Birth control made my hormones so crazy and I had the worst side effects. I'm just really careful now and always make sure to use lube if I'm not wet enough

Answer

Yes if put on correctly, stored in a safe place and not left in the heat or the cold you should be protected but keep in mind there are no birth control methods that are completely 100% safe. Having sex (even with protection) always has risks! Most condoms break when the woman is not lubricated to her full potential, so keeping water based lubricant on hand may also help you out! Never use oil based lubricant, it will ruin the condom and of course take away your protection. I would advise using condoms even if you choose to use other forms of protection just to have extra protection against pregnancy and also STD's!

Answer

With typical use, condoms are 82% effective. This statistic means that 18% of women who use condoms as their sole form of birth control will get pregnant each year. 
If you like those odds, you're ok. I didn't, which is why I got on Nexplanon. I wouldn't worry too much though.

Answer

Condoms can also help protect against STDs - the birth control pill won't, so when used properly condoms are a good choice. To be extra safe you could track your cycles & avoid sex during your fertile week.

Answer

Use Condoms and birth control

Answer

I stopped the pill 4 years ago and only used condoms. I got pregnant AFTER I stopped using them fairly quickly so they worked for me. Honestly, I don't want to go on the pill again. It took my body a year for my cycles to normalize. Once I got off, didn't get a period for 3 months. Not worth it to me.
