Some more pregnancy prevention points with condom use

When used correctly and every time you have sex, condoms will help reduce the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, but they're not all created equal. Latex condoms, a.k.a. rubbers, are the most effective at preventing pregnancy and STDs. Made from the sap from rubber trees, they come in an array of sizes and textures, and are the least expensive of the three. However, they can be used only with water-based lube. Other products, such as baby oil, body lotion and petroleum jelly, can cause them to deteriorate. In addition, some people may have allergic reactions to latex, which can cause itching, burning or breaking out in a rash.


Avoid any that aren't clearly labeled "latex," "lambskin" or "polyurethane" -- those are often intended for gag gifts, not birth control. To avoid breakage, use only one condom at a time and make sure it's lubricated throughout the session. Some prelubed condoms are labeled "spermicidal lubricated," which means they're coated with the spermicide Nonoxynol-9; if you're allergic to N-9,use condoms that are labeled "lubricated." However, even if you use a spermicidally lubed condom, the amount of N-9 is too small to significantly lower the risk of pregnancy. So, if you want extra protection and aren't allergic to N-9, use vaginal contraceptive film or a spermicidal jelly, foam or gel with the condom. Email: linda@oemcondoms.com
