The Female Condom

February 27, 2023

What is it?

Yup, it's true female condoms are a thing! The female condom is made of a soft, thin synthetic latex and is worn inside the vagina. In turn, this prevents semen from getting into the womb. A female condom needs to be placed inside the vagina before it makes contact with a penis.

How effective is it?

If you use a female condom correctly then it is 95% effective and also protects you against STDs.

How to use it:

You should put the female condom in your vagina before sex. Make sure that a penis does not come into contact with it beforehand. When you open the condom be careful not to tear it. You must squeeze the small ring at the closed end of the condom and place it into your vagina. Ensure that the large ring at the open end of the condom covers that area around the vagina. You can add a water-based lube for extra lubrication. When having sex make sure that the penis goes into the condom. After sex, you should gently pull the condom out. Try twisting the large ring to prevent semen from leaking out.
