    Using condom during period
    Is it safe to have sex with condom even if the woman is on her period?:confused: Or is it all just about hygiene?

    What if she's not on her period and the couple only uses condom (if she doesn't take any pills) could she get pregnant too?

    Thanks.

    It is safe to use a condom at any time, unless of course if one of you is allergic to latex.

    If the condom breaks you can get pregnant.

    Remember, anytime you have sex there is a chance of pregnancy. Nothing is 100% safe other than not having sex at all.

    By the sound of it, you are young. If you are not financially and emotionally ready for the side effects of sex (pregnancy, STD's... etc) then don't have sex because you aren't ready.

    There is no method of birth control that is 100% effective, aside from abstinence. So, she could get pregnant with a condom, she could bet pregnant with the pill. But using both condom and pill will reduce chances even more.

    Now, as far as using a condom during a period, nothing wrong with that.

    Yes, use birth control all the time, even during your period.

    Condoms are perfectly safe during a woman's period. It is generally effective in preventing pregnancy even if not used in conjunction with anything else. But, as with any form of birth control except abstinence, it is not totally foolproof.
