Condoms begin to break down after 20 or 30 minutes of use. They're also 97% effective if used correct, so there's a 3% chance of failure and pregnancy.

Condom is a kind of a contraceptive.It can help prevent a woman from getting pregnant if the man is using condom during sexual intercourse.But,they have to be careful or check the condom first before using it because there's a possibility that it has a leak or a whole.Then if it has,there's really a great chance that the sperm cells from the man can get in to the woman's vagina and penetrate inside.Due to that,fertilization may occur.Pregnancy starts.A new baby will be born.

absolutely i know several women with multiple children who's male partner used a condom every time they had intercourse. Condoms at the very best used correctly have about a 98% success rate that means at least a 2% failure rate. One reason for this might be that latex has naturaly occuring holes and the best that rubber chemistry can do leaves condoms and rubber gloves with holes anywhere from 5-20 microns in size, a sperm is around 20 microns if memory serves me correctly. Condoms are also tested with water and electrolosis, water due to surface tension will not permeate these tiny holes where body fluids that have no surface tension travel through these channels. Of course condoms also slip and break and if you spill the contents will remember sperm do swim. intercourse can quite easily get sloppy.

Yes you can fall pregnant, whenever having sex, nothing is 100% except the cut and tie option. I was using both condoms and the pill. I have 2 beautiful children with one on the way, the first 2 were on the pill, this one was the only planned. Good luck.

You can get pregnant even if you use a condom, because cheap condoms break easily, even the more expensive ones break too if let it dry out. The best condom is Trojan, along with some personal lubricant, and you should have any problems. I've tried durex, and some other brands, which all broke...

About 2-4% of the time.

NO. Most likely if you are over 25. Condoms are mostly protective for pregnancy. The older you are, the less likely you are to become pregnant.,

They do break, so yes. But good news, plan B is now available over the counter, so if it happens... you can do something about it. I recomend always using two methods. And follow the instructions CAREFULLY. I have to nieces (parents used condoms and pills and still got pregnant!) The only certainty is abstenence, but there are many birth control options that are wonderful and very effective when used correctly!

If you use it incorrectly, yes. However, if used correctly, particularly in conjunction with paying close attention to your menstrual cycle, condoms are extremely reliable and they prevent the spread of STDs. I am hesitant to post details about proper use and disposal because I do not wish my post to be deleted for adult content. Read the instructions.
