Condoms are a form of birth control that can also protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). There are male and female types. They are made of latex or other materials and are designed to be worn over the penis or inserted into the vagina during sexual activity.
Proper use of condoms can greatly reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy and STI transmission. It is important to check the expiration date, use a new condom for each sexual encounter, and follow the instructions for use carefully. If you are allergic to latex, there are non-latex options available.
