What is the success rate of condoms

If the couple is not ready for pregnancy, they should take appropriate contraceptive measures when having sex, and there are many contraceptive methods to choose from. Using condoms is a contraceptive method chosen by most couples, because condoms have a high success rate, do not cause too much harm to women's bodies, and are very convenient to use in Shanghai. What is the approximate success rate of condoms in preventing pregnancy?

What is the success rate of condoms in preventing pregnancy?

Currently, there is no contraceptive method that can prevent pregnancy 100%. Comparing various contraceptive methods, condoms are easy to use, have no side effects, and their contraceptive success rate is generally 85%.

What? Only 85%? Doesn’t that mean there’s a 15% chance of failure and “accidental” pregnancy? Stay calm, condoms are not that “fragile”. It has been proven that their success rate can be greatly increased to 98%! This is provided that you really know how to use it correctly and perfectly avoid the following “black holes”.

Reasons why condoms fail to prevent pregnancy

1. Wearing a condom too late

Many people start using condoms after having actual intercourse, with 17.1% to 51.1% of people making this mistake. In fact, condoms should be worn during foreplay to prevent close contact between sexual organs during intimacy.

2. Removing the condom too early

Data shows that 13.6%-44.7% of users remove condoms in a hurry before the sexual intercourse is completely over. Although the sexual intercourse process has been completely over at this time, removing the condom may still cause conception or spread disease.

3. Not leaving enough space for body fluids

24.3%-45.7% of the people said that they had encountered situations where there was no sperm vesicle or the sperm vesicle space was insufficient, which could easily cause the condom to rupture and cause pregnancy.

4. Incorrect wearing

2.1%-25.3% of people fully unfold the rolled condom before putting it on. This is a very wrong way to put on a condom. New drivers must remember that you should not fully unfold the rolled condom before putting it on.

5. Not checking before use

75% of men and 82% of women do not check condoms before use, including whether they are within the shelf life and whether the quality is up to standard. Another 2.1%-11.2% of people will use objects such as knives and sharp nails to cut open the outer packaging, which will cause the latex to crack and form gaps.

Are you surprised after reading my introduction? It turns out that the accuracy rate is only over 80%, not as high as you think.

If you want to use contraception, you must avoid the things mentioned above, so that contraception can be successful!
