Posts: 994 | | The only 100% effective means is abstinence. Everything else is fallible... even that contraceptive patch thing she wants. Some things are more effective than others, and you can google to find out how effective. I think condoms are like 98% effective, the Today Sponge is like 97%.
It's really all about acceptable risk.

Posts: 2151 | | Most those percentages are generated by how many women per hundred get pregnant over the course of a year.
Therefore, a condom for example is about 98% effective so 2 in 100 women who use condoms alone on average will get pregnant. HOWEVER, this is with "perfect" use. There is another whole set of statistics (much lower) of practical effectiveness which include people who use the contraceptive incorrectly.
As said above, a hormonal contraceptive + barrier contraceptive is the best (i.e. the pill and a condom).
