Condoms are about 98% effective at preventing pregnancy when used correctly and consistently. However, in typical use, their effectiveness drops to around 85% due to factors like improper use or breakage. Additionally, condoms are highly effective in reducing the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) when used properly. It's important to use condoms consistently and follow instructions to maximize their effectiveness.
