How effective is birth control pills against pregnancy?

According to the CDC, the typical failure rate for birth control pills is about 9%, meaning that of 100 women who use that method of contraception for a year, 9 of them will get pregnant anyway.

The theoretical effectiveness is much higher (the failure rate is lower). The 9% figure takes into account that some people don't follow the instructions perfectly and do things like occasionally missing a dose for one reason or another. If you are very careful to never miss a dose and follow all the other directions, then the failure rate is closer to 1 pregnancy per thousand women per year.

What causes a condom to tear or break?

It's a good question! There are many causes to tear the condom. First is quality of of condom. Many times condoms are supplied by government agencies. Most of the times the government officer is interested in his commission. Yes! I am talking of bribe! He will ask for hefty share in the amount in purchase money. Corruption has become so routine that every common Indian take it as 'normal pattern' in daily life. He has to bribe every where in government offices. When we see a police man, we get phobia in our mind, instead of getting the feeling of security. Then obviously the manufacturer of condoms provide the condoms of low quality. Such condoms can get teared easily. It is better to use condoms of good quality and you have to spend for it. Second reason is condom has to be worn properly. This is to be better demonstrated, rather than written. I will try to explain in words. When you wear the condom, you have to were from proper side. The small out pouch should be pressed manually to take out the air. So that the condom can have the potential empty space to accommodate the semen after ejaculation. If there is already an air there, it may get teared and semen may get leaked. Secondly you have to retract the foreskin of penis more or less, before you unfold the condom. More you retract the foreskin of the penis, less are the chances of the condom getting torn. But then you may feel uneasy during sexual act. My personal advice to use good quality condom and get the foreskin about half retracted. So the balance between joy and safety is there. If you wear the condom on non retracted erect penis, with out taking out the air, that's bad technique. The brunt of stretching moment comes on the most distal part of the penis. If you give vigorous trusts for longer period, then there are chances of tear. This is specially true for bad quality condoms. I was shocked to hear about the couple who was using the 'same' condom for three months. The couple used to wash the condom with soap water and used it repeatedly after making it dry. The lady became pregnant and careful history revealed the shocking fact. Of course the incidence occurred in 1978. I was medical student at that time.
