18% probability of pregnancy when using condoms perfectly for a ten year period.
Hmmn. I'm very dubious of that figure. I'd like to see the source data. 18% sounds way too high to me.

Seems high but condoms fail on a semi-regular basis, even when used correctly. I'm assuming that they include failures like falling off and ripping out.

Not to mention they aren't used correctly a statistically significant amount of the time... I wonder if that is included in those numbers.

If that's based on personal experience then I suggest you're either doing something wrong or you need to switch to a more expensive brand

Just stumbled on it while looking for something else. -
