Spermicidal condoms are very effective providing they do not rip or tear.
.1 percent according to condom labels. Condoms are 99.9 percent effective. Word of advice from a single mom though, go get Birth Control and always use a condom. Better to be super safe, than not.
They increase the protection by about 5 % I think and the box even tells you that the condoms with spermicidal lubricant are not to be used in place of a vaginal spermicide in combination with a condom the spermicidal lubricant is just there to add a little more insurance in case the condom breaks but as you know many people still do get pregnant so use a more reliable form of Birth Control in combination with the condom....hope this helps Good Luck and God Bless!!
SPERMICIDAL CONDOMSIF THE condom has nonoxynol-9 as a spermicidal lube, nonoxyl-9 does prevent pregnancies and also kills the AIDS virus. However, I don't know HOW MUCH is actually present on the condom, so a good precaution would be to use a nonoxyl-9 suppository such as "ENCARE" in ADDITION to the condom. Encare is sold where condoms and lubricants are sold. Better safe than sorry! AnswerI have never heard of nonoxynol 9 killing the HIV virus there is no scientific evidence of this....--Check out the website MedScape.com and search nonoxynol-9. There is a great deal of info there. MedScape Select links the search to 170 of the most clinically relevent journals for physicians. Thanks.
Nonoxynol-9 can actually irritate cells prone to HIV and its common to have allergic reactions when using spermicides containing it.
Condoms
No, condoms are not effective if they go through the laundry. The heat from the washer and dryer will weaken the rubber of the condom. Even non-latex condoms cannot withstand washing.
CONDOMS
There is no use for withdrawal when using condoms. If you are afraid of the condom being burst then use a spermicide along with condoms. No I have my beautiful baby boy because of the failure of this exact thing...

Yes. Condoms are not 100% effective.
No method of birth control is 100% effective, including condoms. Of every 100 couples who use condoms correctly and consistently, only two will experience a pregnancy. The pill is 99% effective if used exactly as prescribed and a day is never missed.
Unless they break during intercourse.
While condoms are the most effective method of protection against sexually transmitted infections and unplanned pregnancies, in a pinch, you can use dental dams, female condoms, or even plastic wrap as a substitute. However, these alternatives are not as effective as condoms for preventing STIs. It is recommended to always use a condom for the best protection.
There are many effective products and techniques for birth control. The most effective and popular is the contraceptive pill. Also available are condoms, the coil and the cap.
Yes, condoms are not 100% effective. Read the label on the box.
How effective is the withdrawing technique aka Pulling out if you didn't use protection at all(no condoms,birth control,or morning after?)
