Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: General Sex Questions?
condoms are safe 98% of the time as i read in health book. they can be fully relied on if you use them correctly and know what your doing.

before using a condom check it to see if there is a hole if so throw it away don't use it unless you want a baby of course. they also have condoms for women. Also make sure that when using a condom that it stays on through the whole time your having sex sometimes if the sex gets to wild it will pull off by itself. so pull it up like every 5 min. condoms are 93.2% safe and 6.7% not safe please rate thankyou.

ppl say its 90% but realy its 100% if it works and 0% if i dont work. but realy there 97% good.

Im guessing about 90%. Most likely its not going to break unless the people are getting really rough. lol. so I wouldn't worry.

ok the only time a condom doesnt work is if it rips on you. and then your in trouble. so i say they work about 80% of the time!
hope i helped,

ok it really depends how sexual u get how much stuff u do but usually they are 93-95% safe

Condoms are about 90% safe..it depends on if the guy wears it right, But to be more safe so you do not get pregnant is to get on the pill. It will be more safe, good luck and hope i helped u sum

about 90% of the time it'll prevent you from STDs and pregnancy of the guy wears it the right way. But remember that you can still get genital warts or crabs because crabs and the virus that creates the warts are not transmitted through semen.

Condoms are usually 95% effective when theyre used correctly. Sometimes condoms can be put on wrong, there is a hole, or it falls off or breaks during intercourse. Still, if you want to be extra sure to prevent STDs or pregnancy, its good to get tested for HIV and get your partner to also. Use birth control, the patch or anything else you can.

According to www.fda.gov, condoms have an 11% failure rate, meaning 11 out of 100 women who just use a condom get pregnant. This percentage includes those who use condoms improperly, though.
I'm not sure exactly how efficient they are against STDs.

o wow ohkay i asked this question in sex ed. the teacher that they arent effective..really at all!!! i was shocked! i was like "what!" and everyone turned around and started laghing like "o0o christine" i didnt give a shit i laughed too BUT i was freakin tweakin! the absolute best way to avoid stds are..
1. get tested WITH your sex mate.
2. wait until marriage but only AFTER you have been tested.
3. to prevent becoming pregnant use pills or the patch. (patch is easier).
and also use a condom every time...even though they really kind of are useless (as said by my teacher).
be safe! luv ya
xoxoxo Christine.

95% are safe. Yes, you can possibly break one, or there's one with a hole. but that's like 2% of the time. There's more ways other than condoms too, so make sure you realize those too. But 99% time, use a condom. Just be protective

condoms are 95% save, but if you want to be 100% save, don't have sex until your at least 18 or older

there more effective than uhh non-safe sex? ha i dunno... well if there is no hole in them or if it doesn't rip then i dunno the percent is prolly around 85% or 95% i'm not sure something like that .. be always be safe, safe sex is great! haha `♥//

Condoms are 97% safe. So out of 100 you have a 3% chance of getting pregnant.

0%-5% of the time. If you aren't sexually active, who cares?

what do you mean by safe? as in how much of a chance you can get pregnant. i think like 60% chance that you wont. but i am not sure.
