Ref the advice from krossmyheartxx:

'use a vag*na condom and a normal condom and you should be ok.'

I always understood that it was really bad practice for the guy to wear a condom and for the woman to use a femidom (female condom) as the friction from the material against each other is likely to split one of them.

Rather than making it safer, it actually makes it a lot less safe that just using one method or the other.

For the same reason, a guy should NEVER wear two condoms at the same time thinking it will make things twice as safe.

As I said, that is my understanding.

Condoms are approximately 97% safe so there is a 3% chance that you could become pregnant...but if you used it properly during sexual intercourse I don't think you should worry much

However, if during intercourse the condom broke/ tore...or came off completely...you should worry

Moreover, if you want to be extra careful...using birth control pills in addition to the condom is always an option. It simply depends on what makes you comfortable

a good percentage of condoms are defective? where are you getting your statistics from?

the effectiveness is about 98% so you should be fine (ofcourse there is always that 2% chance...)

you could. if the condom snaps, so I'd use birth control just in case.

I disagree with krossmyheartxx. using 2 condoms is likely to split one or the other, therefore making it LESS safe than when using only one condom. I suggest the male use the condom, as it is less likely to fall off. <3
