In honor of National Condom Week (February 14 to 21), here's the TL;DR on condoms: they're great at preventing BOTH pregnancy and STIs — which no other kind of birth control can do! They're also easy to carry; you can buy them at most convenience stores, and they're often low-cost. You can even pick up some condoms for free at some Planned Parenthood health centers!
Condoms can increase pleasure and stimulation during sex — especially when paired with lube. They also take the stress out of sex so you can focus on having fun instead of worrying about STIs or pregnancy.
