About Nottyboy Condoms
Nottyboy condoms are sheath-shaped barrier devices used during sexual contact to prevent pregnancy or sexually transmitted infection (STI). Male and female condoms are available. When used properly and at each act of intercourse, female condoms have a 2% pregnancy rate per year.
Men Condoms
A male condom is rolled onto an erect penis before intercourse to form a physical barrier that prevents sperm from entering a sexual partner's body. The most common material used in male condoms is latex, which is followed by polyurethane, polyisoprene, and lamb intestine. Male condoms are simple to use, inexpensive, and have few drawbacks. Latex allergy sufferers should use polyurethane condoms rather than latex condoms.
Condoms have been used to prevent sexually transmitted diseases since 1564. After rubber condoms were introduced in 1855, latex condoms were introduced in the 1920s. In 2019, approximately 21% of people who use birth control use a condom, placing it second only to female sterilization (24%).
Birth control
The efficacy of condoms, like that of most other forms of contraception, can be measured in two ways. Only people who use condoms correctly and consistently are included in the rates of perfect use or method effectiveness. Actual effectiveness rates apply to all condom users, including those who misapply condoms or do not use condoms at all acts of intercourse. Typically, rates are shown for the first year of use. Although the Pearl Index is the most commonly used method for calculating effectiveness rates, decrement tables are also used in some studies.
Sexually transmitted infections
Condoms are widely used to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs). They have been shown to lower infection rates in both men and women. Condoms, while not perfect, can help to prevent the spread of organisms that cause AIDS, genital herpes, cervical cancer, genital warts, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and other diseases.
