The Pill or a Condom? What Should You Use?

One of the most common questions we get is: “Which contraceptive should I use?” In this article, we’ll break down why using only the pill might not be enough to protect yourself. If you want to stay safe from STDs, you need to use a reliable condom—like the Wingman Condom.

The Birth Control Pill

The pill is one of the most popular methods of contraception. But it’s not for everyone. Some people experience side effects, while others simply forget to take it amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Most importantly, the pill doesn't protect you against STDs. That’s where condoms come in!

When it comes to preventing pregnancy, there are plenty of other options out there. It’s all about finding what fits your lifestyle best. Are you single or in a relationship? Do you want to regulate your periods or avoid hormones altogether? Your doctor can help guide you through these choices and write a prescription for the right option—since, aside from condoms, all other forms of contraception require a doctor’s prescription.

Is a Condom a Good Alternative to the Pill?

Condoms are the only contraceptive that protect you from both STDs and pregnancy. So, whether you’re in a new relationship or still figuring things out, condoms are an excellent addition to your contraceptive routine—especially if you’re not sure of your partner’s STD status.

Another benefit? Condoms are hormone-free, don’t interfere with your cycle or fertility, and are super easy to get your hands on. You can buy them at drugstores, supermarkets, most gas stations, or online. Plus, they’re affordable! When used correctly, condoms have a failure rate of just 2%, so they’re a reliable choice for safe sex.
