which is better, condoms? or pills?

Question

just to avoid pregnancy for atleast 2 years...?

Answer 1

combination of course... safety wise the stats are with the pill

Answer 2

condoms are known to decrease the "feel" sensation. either one does not protect you from stds for now a days it can be transferred by skin to skin contact down there. if you're not shy, buy condoms or go to a local clinic, they will give you necessary contraceptives based on your needs.

i chose to be on birth control pills. it regulated my periods, my acne probs, and condoms aren't necessary but you should have them anyways.

only thing with birth control pill is you must be on time taking them! or else it WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE!!! perferrably no sex or use condom the first month while taking birth control pills... better be safe then sorry. also, it does regulate hormones so you might not want sex as much (good for active ppls). Some clinics will not plant an IUD for you (you can choose 3 or 5 yrs) because with an IUD you must be with one partner or none. Clinic doctors will steer you away from this method. Also, implanting an IUD will cause spotting for up to 6 months (imagine a very lite period for 6 months).

Lastly, when the time comes and you're ready for a baby, you must stop taking them at least 3 months to a year prior to concieving... so that it doesnt have any affect on the baby or your system. depending on your system it needs time to get used to not being on the pill.

If an accident ever occurs, go to a clinic for oral emergency contraceptive pill. Its will look like a birth control pill. Also, plan ahead, please dont wait until the last minute, I do not recommend abortions for they aren't fun to go through emotionally or physically. Good luck!

Answer 3

I Would Say Both. Because You Can Avoid STD'S With The Condom, And You Can Avoid Pregnancy With Both. Be Careful...

Answer 4

Both together, this will also avoid any other transmissions. If you are monogamous and both of you have been tested for all STD's including Hepatitis, then the pill or a shot or patch is better, who wants to have to worry about stopping and putting on a condom every time you have intercourse.

Answer 5

Always protect yourself. From both pregnancy and STD's. You should take the pill AND require that your partner use a condom. If you do not take control of the situation there is no telling what the result will be. Protect yourself.

Answer 6

Use both. Neither are 100% full-proof. Condoms for prevention of both pregnancy and stds (although they do break occasionally, count on it) so the pill, which can also fail, as a back-up.

Answer 7

JUST to avoid pregnancy...the pill. Use as directed ONLY. I would go the plannedparenthood.org to get the best information on whats out there.

Answer 8

Condoms are better for protection against sexually transmitted diseases, and pills are better for protection against pregnancy. Use both to be safe

Answer 9

My suggestion is getting implanon implant it protects you for 3 years. but condoms are good too. With the pill i would always forget to take it.you do whatever you feel comfortable with. good luck finding.

Answer 10

Well pills of course for the long haul. But condoms don't hurt either, unless you forget or just have one of those whoops nights.

Answer 11

just use both.

By themselves, they are really about the same. Pills are technically more effective but easier to screw up. If you use both the odds of pregnancy are really tiny.
