The only completely effective form of Birth Control is to not have vaginal intercourse. There are other pleasurable forms of sex that do not risk conception, but that is an answer for another question. Surgical means such as a male vasectomy or female tubal ligation are considered permanent options, but may sometimes be reversed. Chemical or surgical sterilization is an infrequently chosen option due to side effects. The proper use of a condom combined with compatible other forms of contraception are considered the best temporary measure. The diaphragm is slightly less reliable. Contraceptive implants, IUDs, and birth control pills when taken properly are quite effective. Pulling out, or the rhythm method may reduce the likelihood of a pregnancy but are not considered reliable or effective birth control. Folk methods such as having sex standing up, other positions, sex in water, or several things a woman may do after sex have not been shown to reduce likelihood of pregnancy. The exception is emergency contraception. Often called the morning after pill, it can be taken up to 5 days after intercourse, but the sooner you take it following sex the better chance it will be effective in preventing a pregnancy. This is not the same as RU486, mifepristone, also called the abortion pill. Not legal in all areas, mifepristone causes the termination(abortion) of very early term pregnancy.
Pulling out just on time; condom is your next best and help you not getting any nesty infections.

the most effective birth control is by using condom because it can give you up to 99% safe sex just be sure you have no allergy to latex (if you have an allergy in banana then you are also allergy to latex).
Basically not having sex. Beyond that condoms are the next best thing (but they are not 100%)

The only method of birth control which also prevents spreading any sexually transmitted diseases is abstinence.

ANSWER

Since abstinence is very unlikely to be a good method of birth control after one starts having sex - including married couples who don't want to conceive immediately or those who have had a child and aren't ready for another - the best thing for you to do is have a talk with your doctor or family planning counselor, about what method works best for your lifestyle.

There is no single best method of birth control - it all depends on what works best for you and your lifestyle. For example Depo is very effective but no good for women who can't use hormonal birth control options, FAM is very effective but not best for women with irregular cycles - we have many choices for this reason. Below are a list of different birth control options, it's a good idea to explore all your options to decide which is best for you and your needs.

  • Hormonal: Combination Pill
  • Hormonal: Mini Pill
  • Hormonal: Patch
  • Hormonal: Shot
  • Hormonal: Implant
  • Hormonal: Ring
  • IUD: Hormonal
  • IUD: Copper
  • Barrier: Male Condoms
  • Barrier: Female Condoms
  • Barrier: Diaphragm
  • Barrier: Cap
  • Barrier: Shield
  • Barrier: Sponge
  • Spermicide: Gel
  • Spermicide: Foam
  • Spermicide: Film
  • Withdrawal
  • Fertility Awareness Methods
  • Natural Family Planning Methods

Everyone will tell you that the most effective form of birth control is abstinence. Other than that no form of birth control is 100% effective. The top types of birth control are: the pill with a 99% effectiveness (if used properly), and condoms with a 96% effectiveness.

Abstinence. Biologically speaking, one will not get pregnant if one does not have sex.

The most effective method is abstinence.

Failing that, a vasectomy or tubal ligation.

If neither of those sound appealing, use a condom.

Is birth control the most effective form of birth control?

The question makes no sense - of course birth control is the most effective method of birth control. And the best form of birth control is to use two methods at once. Either a hormonal form such as the pill, patch, or vaginal ring and a condom, which also prevents the spread of disease. Avoid quack methods like the "pull-out" method (pre-ejaculate does contain sperm even before the man ejaculates) and other wacky ideas.
