Condoms are the best external contraception available for both men and women. It is made up of latex and has a very thin layer to best fit the erected penis. Condoms can prevent the sperm from entering the vagina so that the chances of pregnancy can be no more to very less. Every condom is made up of very safe and certified material. However, people who have allergies to latex should be careful with usage of condoms.
They are not only used as contraception, but also used to prevent sexual transmitted diseases. The condom must be checked thoroughly for any tears before using it because the torn condom cannot prevent sperm from entering the vagina.
Along with the condom, there are some other contraceptive measures which include Emergency Hormonal Pill and Intrauterine Device. Hormonal must be taken for up to three days after intercourse. It is more effective if taken before intercourse. IUD must be fit under specialist supervision.
