karisue answered Saturday November 18 2006, 4:18 pm: i have been having sex & using condoms now for about 3 years.
i've used the cheap ones & really good ones, & i've never had one break, & i've not gotten pregnant yet.
so i'd say they are about 95% effective if used right.
& pretty tough to break.

However never put to condoms on together because they will break but if the guy is just wearing one and it fits properly (you dont want it to fall off or anything, because thats will be bad) then you should be fine.

rainbowcherrie answered Saturday November 18 2006, 8:30 am: Condoms are 98% effective. They can break, but not very easily when in use. If they broke alot when they were being worn then they'd be less than 98% effective. However, things like nails or jewellery can break them and sometimes they can split when they're on. It's always good to use condoms with another form of contraception (like the pill). [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
