Are you asking what the typical use rates and perfect use rates are for both the pill and for condoms?
If so, we have a whole section on birth control that includes a page of information for each method, including their effectiveness rates, and how these methods work and how they typically fail, when they do.
That landing page is here, and the links to each method are about halfway down the page: Birth Control Bingo!
