The female condom is the only form of contraception that provides a barrier between partners, thus protecting against skin-to-skin transmission of STIs that occur in the areas surrounding the penis and entrance to the vagina. The male condom can also offer protection against some STIs, but it may not cover all areas of skin that can potentially transmit infection. Birth control pills and sponges do not provide a physical barrier and do not protect against skin-to-skin transmission of STIs.
