Over the Pill? Facts About Nonhormonal Birth Control

How it works: Placed inside the vagina, the female condom collects semen when a man ejaculates.

Success rate: If used correctly, only five out of 100 women will become pregnant. Among women who do not always use it correctly, 21 out of 100 will become pregnant.

Pros: It protects against STIs and can be used for vaginal or anal intercourse. If you're allergic to latex condoms, these can be a good option. They cost $6 for a three-pack at the drugstore but are included in the free birth control mandate of Obamacare.

Cons: It could cause irritation, slip into the vagina during intercourse, reduce feeling, or cause some noise, much like the male condom.
