Eli5: Condom Effectiveness

641 views

What does it mean when the statistics say that condoms are, at best, 98% effective.

It sounds like 1/50 times a condom is used, it won’t prevent pregnancy. But this doesn’t seem right because those stats wouldn’t be worth the risk.

So fun story, when a condom breaks while inside, you get a “woah that feels good” feeling, you don’t get a “did the condom just break” thought. Only when you pull out do you realize you’re in the 2% club.
