It's said that none of the available contraceptive methods are 100% effective. There are plenty to choose from these days and they fall into five major categories:
barrier - condoms for males and females, diaphragms, cervical caps, spermicides
hormonal - oral contraceptives (the pill), patches, injections, implantable rods
sterilisation - tubal ligation, vasectomy
The humble condom
But with many of these methods touting lists of possible side effects longer than my arm, how do you choose which method is both effective and safe?

#Contraception Well, I am not a doctor but I feel that since no method is fool-proof then one can choose to adopt more than one method. For example, one can take the contraceptive pills regularly and ask the partner to wear condoms as well to ensure double protection.
Contraceptive pills have a number of side effects however, taking occasional breaks from the pills while continuing the condom usage can supposedly negate some of the side effects of the pills.
