They are 98% effective if used correctly. They are 85% effective if you do it wrong.
There are many other things you can do if you have problems with the pill.

This page should help you decide what to use. But condoms protect you from disease so it's always best to use them anyway.
Good Luck!! xx

 hey - do you mind me asking why you cant use the pill? yes condoms are very safe and protect against std's but you do have to be responsible when using them and be gentle with them as they can rip easily. if you cant use the pill have you considered the injection or the bar that lasts a long time?

 I think condoms are safer than the pill. They are pretty safe, I think it's something like 97% or 98%, something high whichever way you look at it. But they can break/split so check it hasn't split afterwards.
