How it's used
Although this term is understood, it is significantly less common than 避孕套 in everyday speech. Using this term can sound slightly clinical or like a direct translation from English, whereas 避孕套 is the standard, neutral way to refer to the item in Hong Kong. It is perfectly acceptable to use, but you will hear 避孕套 used far more frequently in pharmacies or casual conversation.
