Any method or device(contraceptive) used to prevent pregnancy is called contraception. There different types of contraceptives which allow you to enjoy sex without the fear of getting pregnant. These devices have been proven to be highly efficacious over time when used in the right manner. However, contraceptive failure still remains a major cause of unintended pregnancy and most of these usually result from inconsistent or incorrect use. The expected failure rate of most contraceptive devices is very low when used perfectly, usually about 1 in 100 but this is not usually the case due to inconsistent or incorrect use.

In an online poll, 29% of women said that they have at least experienced a contraceptive failure. This figure is quite high when compared to the expected failure rate of contraceptive devices. The only way to achieve a better result with contraceptive devices is through consistent and correct use. It is also important to note that certain drugs can render contraceptive pills ineffective. Therefore, if you are to go on the pill always ask your doctor to tell you about the drugs that may reduce its efficacy.
