Condoms

Double the protection: birth control and STI protection.

A thin barrier worn on the penis (aka external condoms) or inside the vagina (aka internal or female condoms) that blocks sperm from reaching the egg. Condoms also prevent STIs. For every 100 people using this method, 13-21 may become pregnant.
