If used correctly, couples that rely on male condoms alone have a 85% Success rate. Meaning 15/100 couples who use male condoms only will have an accidental baby.

Female condoms are a little less unreliable with a 79% Success Rate. 21/100 couples will have a unintentional pregnancy.

The "reliability" figures used for contraceptive methods refer to pregnancies in a year - 85% reliability means that in one year, 15% of women who use the specified method will get pregnant.
