The use of condoms is known to offer several kinds of protection. First of all, it helps preventing pregnancy. Secondly, and not at all less important, it gives protection against sexual diseases. Using a kondome while having sex, is a normal behaviour in civilised countries. However, in many countries, its use is rather not accepted or is only occasional. Several types of condoms are available in many shops and also online, on websites dedicated to such objects. Condomshop.ch is an online store where one can find several varieties of condoms, from traditional models to others presenting different textures, colours and models.

Condoms are effective as a form of contraception. Its effectiveness may be assessed in two ways. Perfect use effectiveness rates include those people who use condoms consistently and properly. Typical use effectiveness rates refer to all users of condoms, whether they use them incorrectly or do not use them regularly, at each act of intercourse. While the pregnancy rate among typical users presents variations ranging from 10% up to 18% per year, the pregnancy rate among perfect users is only 2% per year.

Condoms may be used in combinations with other contraception methods like spermicide, in order to provide greater protection. Condomshop.ch offers a lot of solutions for contraception, involving different types of condoms.

Another recommendation for the use of condoms is for the prevention of STDs (sexually transmitted diseases). They have been proved to be really effective in preventing infections in both women and men. While they are not perfect, condoms are effective at preventing the transmission of pathogenic agents that are responsible with causing genital herpes, syphilis, genital warts, gonorrhoea, chlamydia, AIDS, and many other diseases. They are also recommended in effective methods of birth control in cases where sexually transmitted diseases protection is wanted.

A report by the NIH (National Institutes of Health) shows that consistent and correct use of condoms reduces the eventual risk of HIV/AIDS transmission by about 85%, compared to the risk of unprotected sex. The infection rate was 0.9 per 100 person years for condom users, compared to 6.7 per 100 person years.

Another conclusion of the 2000 NIH study is that condom use reduces significantly the risk of men gonorrhoea. A study from 2006 says that proper condom use reduces the risk of human papillomavirus transmission to women by about 70%. Another study revealed that consistent condom use reduced the transmission of genital herpes, or herpes simplex virus 2, in both women and men.

Although a kondome is also effective in limited exposure, disease transmission may occur even when using it. For example, infected areas of the genitals are not covered, especially when symptoms of the infection exist, and therefore certain diseases are still transmitted by direct contact. Condom use may also help in case of precancerous cervical changes. Individuals infected with papillomavirus have an increased risk of precancerous changes.
