The statistic is interpreted by the manufacturer as "one pregnancy per year per 100 women" which I interpreted as "one pregnancy per 100 years per woman." So if you live to a very ripe old age and keep at it the whole time, then you'll end up with a baby at some point. Otherwise, no.

However, if you're using a condom as your main form of birth control, I would not trust these statistics and start using a hormonal birth control right away. The 99% statistic is putting way too much faith in the power of condoms to stay intact, stay positioned, and stay effective. Plus condoms are nasty.
