Things You Didn’t Know About The Pull-Out Method
It’s pretty ineffective
No form of birth control can offer 100 percent efficacy. Even the pill isn’t perfect – roughly one out of 100 women who use the pill perfectly (same time, every single day, without fail) will become pregnant. Condoms are slightly less effective, with two out of every 100 people who use them perfectly still becoming pregnant. So you’ll never find something that’s a total guarantee. For liability issues, no manufacturer of any birth control can promise that. However, the pull-out method falls pretty far in the rankings when it comes to pregnancy prevention. The CDC reports that 22 percent of people who use it will face accidental pregnancy.
