Both condoms and contraceptive pills are highly effective and commonly used methods of contraception. However, the most suitable method for an individual can vary based on personal preferences and circumstances. Factors such as lifestyle, health, and desired outcomes play a role in choosing the right contraception.   When used correctly, both progestogen-only contraceptive pills and combined contraceptive pills have an efficacy of over 99%, meaning less than 1 in 100 users may become pregnant.

However, with typical use, the effectiveness decreases to approximately 82%.
