My spouse and I use Naturlamb (lambskin) condoms. We did most of this before we (deliberately) had a kid -- now we use them much less because of more constant exhaustion and thus going to non-PIV stuff. However, in the 10 years pre-kid? No breaks, no tears, and only one slip that was definitely user-error (and it only spilled on the outside). And no kids. The only pregnancy scares were scares from my irregular, undiagnosed-hypothyroid periods.
You could also, though, look into how much it would cost to get an IUD -- the mirena has low-dose hormones, I believe, as well as being an IUD, and you might be able to save up enough to obtain one even off-insurance? Planned Parenthoods may come in handy for the prescription/insertion.
