Fertilization will not be able to occur if the sperm is not able to reach the uterus. Through use of the condoms, sperm is stopped from traveling to the egg. The condom is a thin sheath that covers the entire penis, but decreases the sensitivity of it. Condoms seem to be the easiest method to preventing fertilization and they have a low failure rate of 3% to 15%. Because it is one of the most simplistic ways of contraception, condom use is the most formerly practiced. Condoms are also used for collection of semen for use in infertility treatment. Because condoms are waterproof, elastic, and durable, they are also used for non-sexual purposes such as creating waterproof microphones and protecting rifle barrels from clogging. In the modern age, condoms are most often made from latex, but some are made from other materials such as
