Answer

Condoms are 98% effective.
My husband and I used just condoms for 4 years and never got pregnant.
If you’re that worried, you need to get on birth control too.

Answer

They’re fairly effective but they can break. I’d use a backup method of birth control if you’re worried.

Answer

get on birth control as well!

Answer

I would use 2 forms of birth control and also make sure you are regularly getting screened for STIs!

Answer

They're pretty safe but it could always bust or if he doesn't have it on right then it could leak.

Answer

Theyre effective, but NOT 100% just like EVERY form except abstaining from vaginal sex. You should be using at least 2 methods of birth control if you dont want to get pregnant. That still isnt 100%, but it a lower chance.

Answer

Use a double method of contraception. Use condoms and get on something like the pill or an iud. Accidents can happen so using 2 methods means that you have a backup if one fails

Answer

As long as they are used consistently and correctly, they’re very effective.
But it’s a good idea to also be on hormonal birth control in the event a condom rips or something.
