Condoms are highly effective if they are used correctly every time you have sexual intercourse.

98 out of 100 couples who always use condoms correctly will not become pregnant.

18 to 20 out of 100 couples who use condoms, but may sometimes "forget" or put one on at the last minute etc; will become pregnant.

Simply put condoms are 80% to 98% effective depending on the practices of the couple using them. Adding a spermicide or hormonal method of BC makes them more than 99% effective in preventing pregnancy.
