Keeping It Sexy & Safe

Effectiveness is a common concern when choosing a birth control method.

​

Like all birth control methods, the female condom is more effective when you use it correctly.

• If women always use the female condom correctly, 5 out of 100 will become pregnant each year.

• If women don't always use the female condom correctly, 21 out of 100 will become pregnant each year.

 

Effectiveness is also a concern when it comes to safer sex. The female condom also reduces the risk of many sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.
