condom
Condoms are thin, stretchy pouches worn on the penis during sex. Condoms provide great protection from both pregnancy and STDs. They’re easy to use and easy to get.
​
Condoms are small, thin pouches made of latex, plastic, or lambskin, that cover the penis during sex and collect semen. Condoms stop sperm from getting into the vagina, so sperm can’t meet up with an egg and cause pregnancy.
internal condom
Internal condoms — also called “female” condoms — are an alternative to regular condoms. They provide pretty much the same great protection from pregnancy and STDs. What’s different about them? Instead of going on the penis, internal condoms go inside the vagina for pregnancy prevention or into the vagina or anus for protection from STDs.
