condom

Barrier contraceptive, made of rubber, which fits over an erect penis and holds in the sperm produced by ejaculation. It is an effective means of preventing pregnancy if used carefully, preferably with a spermicide. A condom with spermicide is 97% effective; one without spermicide is 85% effective as a contraceptive. Condoms can also give some protection against sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS.

In 1996 the European Union agreed a standard for condoms, which is 17 cm/6.7 in long; although the width can be variable, a regular width was agreed as 5.2 cm/2 in.
