Contraception, also sometimes referred to as ‘birth control’, is something people can use when they want to have sex that can result in pregnancy, but do not want to become pregnant or have a baby.  Understanding contraception and figuring out the best contraceptive method for you is […]

Condoms are the only contraception that protects you against both STIs and pregnancy
True False

It’s true

Double the reason to use one. Condoms are the only contraception that protect against both STIs and unwanted pregnancies.

Correct Incorrect
Condoms protect against all STIs
True False

It’s false, but as good as it gets

Condoms protect you against almost all STIs, except the ones passed on through skin contact like HPV. No contraceptive is 100% effective. That’s why regular STI testing is so important.

Correct Incorrect
It's possible to put a condom on inside out.
True False

Strange but true

Yep, it’s actually pretty easy to put a condom on inside out and happens to the best of us. If it happens to you throw it away and grab yourself a new one.

Correct Incorrect
You should use condoms for oral sex too.
True False

It’s true, so choose a flavour

Almost every STI that can be passed on through penetration can be passed on through oral sex too. Why else were flavoured condoms invented?

Correct Incorrect
You can use a condom twice.
True False

It’s false, no double bagging

You 100% cannot use a condom twice. It won’t be as effective at protecting you. And it would probably get a little messy too. No-one wants that.

Correct Incorrect
Condoms don’t expire, and even if they did they would still work fine.
True False

It’s false, better get checking

Condoms can definitely expire and might break if it’s out of date. So make sure you check before use. Or why not check them now? After all, no reason to waste time when you really need them.

Correct Incorrect
You can use massage oil as lube with condoms.
True False

It’s false, what a slippery slope

Massage oil breaks down the latex on condoms, which can weaken them. If you’re using lube with condoms make it water-based one. Sorted.

Correct Incorrect
You can be too big for condoms.
True False

It’s a big false

Condoms come in all different sizes and there is no way someone would be too big. If you’re having trouble finding one that does, keep trying till you find the right one for you.

Correct Incorrect
You should use condoms every time you have sex.
True False

It’s true, yes, yes, yes

Unless you’re in a monogamous relationship and have both been tested you should use a condom every time you have sex. The risk isn’t worth the excuses.
