Condoms
Condoms are free!
Condoms are one of the most effective contraceptive methods and help to protect against sexually transmitted infection and unplanned pregnancies. Used correctly and consistently, condoms are up to 99% effective.
Condoms can be used for oral, vaginal and anal sex and condoms come in all shapes, sizes and flavours. To find out more about what to look out for on your condoms and how to use condoms effectively visit www.nhs.uk/livewell/sexualyoungpeople.
