Answers for advantages: (any three of the following)
1. Condoms can be 95 percent effective in preventing pregnancy.
2. Condoms can prevent the spread of some STIs and HIV, including those that can be transmitted by external genital contact.
3. Condoms can be inserted up to 8 hours in advance, so using it doesn't have to interrupt lovemaking.
4. It can give women more personal control over the prevention of pregnancy and STIs or because they cannot rely on their partners to use the male condom.
5. Condoms are thin and pliable, so there is less loss of sensation when compared to the male condom.
6. Condoms are relatively inexpensive, readily available without a prescription, and cause no negative health effects

Answers for disadvantages: (any three of the following)
1. There is considerably potential for user error; typical use effectiveness for preventing pregnancy is approximately 79 percent.
2. Improper use can lead to breakage, leakage, or slipping, which can expose users to STIs or an unintended pregnancy.
3. Some people find them disruptive, noisy, odd looking, or difficult to use.
4. Some women have reported external or vaginal irritation from using the female condom.
5. A new condom is needed for each act of intercourse, so users may not always have one available when needed.
6. Condoms are difficult and/or painful to use for anal sex.
