Even with a 4% failure rate, you'd be having unprotected sex once in 25 times, which for an 'active' couple could be more than once a month.
The only really effective contraceptive (apart from abstinence, but that isn't a contraceptive now is it) imo is the pill. There are also lots of negative effects realted to that. First and foremost a highly increased risk for cancer. (Also, it makes some women really fat.)


/me just uses condoms
