writes:Hi. I'm on birth control pills and up until recently always used condoms just for extra protection against pregnancies. My Bf and i have no stds and stopped using condoms because to be honest it just feels better. I know that the pill is almost 100% safe but there is of course room for error. I really dont like using condoms but i want an extra source of protection. We've tried pulling out method but it's not my favorite...are there any other things we could try to use instead of condoms that will give me some peace of mind ? thanks so much!

 Unless you know FOR SURE that your boyfriend is STD free and is not having sex with anyone else then you should keep on using the condoms. Unfortunately in today's world there are so many different STD's it simply is not worth the risk. However to safeguard against that 1% chance of pregnancy with the pill you could also use contraceptive foam. I would still advise a condom however.
