1. Condoms w/ spermicide, which is a chemical that kills sperm. Not recommended for oral or anal sex.

2. Spermicide-free

3. Latex. Did you know that latex can stretch up to 800%? Used w/ oil-based lube will cause breakage and slippage.

4. Non-Latex. OK w/ oil-based lube

Condoms are THE cheapest and most accessible form of birth control. According to bedsider.org, 1 condom can costs as little as 18 cents! 18 cents vs. all the expenses of having a baby? Is that even a question?! Use a condom.

No money? No problem. Check your local family planning clinic and see if they offer free or low cost condoms.
