A member asked:
How effective are condoms if used from start to finish of intercourse?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
About 85%: Because sometimes there could be a microsscpic hole or sperm can leak out around the edge, if u use condoms and something else like contraceptive foam or film, or other, then the effectiveness goes way up.
